The central hallway greets you with an enchanting mix of white-washed ceiling beams and natural materials flooded in light and decorated in soft tones. Into the main sitting room and it's a space that instantly hugs you with a cosy ambience created by the gorgeous exposed stone inglenook fireplace that is home to a log burner, easily inviting family or friends to sink into squishy sofas and enjoy spending time together.

The dual aspect windows ensure that garden views are a constant member of the group and the white-washed ceiling beams and wall panelling effortlessly add period charm, reminding any visitor of the period vintage of this lovely home.

There's character from the past to delight you in every space but also the addition of modern facilities to ensure the property, called Court House, is a happy home from the past that's a wonderful family home for the present and future, and this is superbly illustrated in the kitchen diner.

The well-equipped kitchen is hiding multiple appliances within its classic Shaker-style units as well as oodles of storage and preparation space on its black quartz worktops. The cook will be happy with the space and equipment on offer but also the chance for company thanks to the addition of a farmhouse table and chairs, where weekday breakfasts are consumed in a rush but lazy weekend brunches are more relaxed.

The kitchen has a door out to the sunny courtyard rear garden as well as a set of double doors to a more formal dining space. Gathering together for a meal within this delightful room would be a happy and memorable experience, cocooned in tactile, exposed stone walls.

The sizeable space can easily seat eight people and is also a versatile room - currently doubling up as a music room but it could easily be home to a second lounge or welcome an even bigger table.

Off the kitchen is a handy utility space and cloakroom, then wandering to the front of the house reveals a third reception room with a beautiful wooden fireplace surround framing a large log burner.

Another versatile space, this room is currently being used as a games room but can offer a variety of functions, from a charming home office to make colleagues jealous to a home cinema, from a ground floor bedroom to even a gym.

Climbing the period staircase reveals there are six bedrooms over two storeys waiting to impress you, each with their own unique garden view plus a mix of exposed and white-washed ceiling beams.

The top floor bedrooms will mesmerise, where ceilings soar up into the loft area and the roof rafters are the visual star of the show, joined by tactile exposed stone walls in some spaces. Each bedroom is an enchanting and charming space that promotes restful relaxation cocooned in character.

The principal bedroom is a stunner with a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite with white roll top bath. It's a sanctuary that exudes peace, a quiet slumber space that wraps you up in a calm ambience.

There are a further two bedrooms that boast luxury ensuites and in the family bathroom the stand out feature is the purple roll-top bath located under a roof window, so you can wash a stressful day away under the stars.

But the property tour isn't over, because out in the rear garden is a charming detached annexe where there's oodles of character to be found too, especially on the top floor where the two double bedrooms both boast white-washed stone walls and chunky exposed beams.

On the ground floor there's an open-plan kitchen diner with a feature fireplace and a separate workshop with potential to create a third bedroom, with the bathroom found on the first floor.

The annexe is potentially as flexible as the main house, offering a separate home to facilitate multi-generational living at the site as well as being rented out long-term or as a holiday let, subject to planning consent.

Outside - Step outside into the rear garden of this delightful period house and a sun-drenched, private flagstone courtyard greets you, offering a spacious terrace shared with the pretty two-bed annexe where alfresco dining, garden parties and summer BBQs are easily hosted within this charming outside area.

From relaxing on a lounger in perfect peace with a book to inviting friends and family round to gather on a garden sofa and chat the day, and maybe even the night, away creates wonderful memories that last a lifetime.

There's a lawn area to one side of the courtyard adding to the greenery provided by mature trees, shrubs and pots of plants but the main lawn that can offer space for children and dogs to run and play is at the front of the house.

Surrounded by high hedges and mature trees, and absorbing, panoramic views across the rural landscape, the front garden is a perfect playground, offering space for children's play and games equipment as well as a patio area for adults to relax and watch the fun before, inevitably, being persuaded to join in.

There's a shed and a vegetable patch already established to support ambitions of growing produce, as well as ample parking at the end of the driveway for the owners' vehicles as well as guests.

As well as a social space, it's a garden for quieter moments too from sun-dappled morning coffee accompanied by a birdsong soundtrack before a busy day begins to relaxing with an evening drink under a star-filled night sky.
