The front door opens into a long hallway that has a lovely stone flagged floor and stairs to the first floor, with storage space beneath.
Straight ahead, and through a part glazed door, is the traditional kitchen/breakfast room with a red tiled floor and another door to the wonderfully sunny paved courtyard. There is an extensive range of base, drawer and wall units, many of which are open fronted or have glass doors, with wood work surfaces and part tiled walls above. A central island has breakfast bars on either side with a granite work surface and storage cupboards below.

To the left of the hall is the dining room, which overlooks the front of the property and a fabulous central inglenook fireplace with a brick hearth and a stone surround with a mantel above. On one side of the fireplace are built in shelves with cupboards below. Opposite is the gorgeous living room which has a bay window with a charming seat that allows plenty of light to shine through and bathe the room in sunlight. A particular feature of this fabulous room is the inglenook fireplace with a log burner sitting on a stone hearth, a brick surround and an oak wood mantel above. Double doors open into the study, which has a wood floor and fitted shelves along one wall.
Just to the side of the part-glazed door into the kitchen, is the colourful cloakroom with a low- level WC, a heated towel rail and a pedestal wash hand basin with a tiled splashback, while opposite is a large storage cupboard.
From the study, a set of double doors leads into the magnificent garden room that has an atrium style roof, a wood floor and a traditional stone wall on one side and French doors out into the courtyard and garden.
The carpeted turned staircase leads you to the first floor, where you will find a delightful bay window and seat looking out over the front with fabulous views over farmland beyond. The principal bedroom has a charming Inglenook fireplace with a stone surround and a window with seat. Up a couple of steps, you walk into a dressing room and the ensuite shower room beyond, which has a tiled floor, a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin below the window, from which are the most magnificent views, and a shower cubicle with a glass door. Off the principal bedroom’s dressing room is a Jack ‘n’ Jill bathroom, which is part-tiled with a panelled bath, a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin with a tiled splashback and a mirror-fronted cabinet above, and a heated towel rail.
The first-floor landing also provides access to the airing cupboard, two further double bedrooms, both of which have fitted wardrobes, window seats and feature exposed stone walls, and the family shower room with a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin with tiled splashback, a heated towel rail and a shower cubicle with a curved glass door.
Off the landing is a door and original wood steps that take you up to the enormous double-aspect loft room with skylights, which has power, light and radiators. This wonderful space with lovely exposed beams has multiple uses, such as an office, a games or cinema room, a playroom, two separate bedrooms, a grand principal bedroom suite or a guest suite.
Forming part of an enclave of charming cottages, all of which used to be part of the old brewery buildings, as you drive in Brewery House is on the left. At the front is a gravelled area providing parking for several vehicles. A low brick wall with wrought iron railings above and a central wrought iron pedestrian gate opens onto a paved path, either side of which is the beautiful front garden with a plethora of decorative hedging and shrubs, and two seating areas.
A side access on the right of the property takes you to a pedestrian wooden gate that guides you into the pretty paved courtyard at the rear, with a stone wall surround and four outbuildings of various sizes providing ample storage space. Leading off the courtyard, which can also be accessed via the kitchen, stone steps curve up to a manicured lawn complete with a sandpit, which the kids will adore, where you will find an abundance of gorgeous cottage plants, hedges, shrubs and trees that give you a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
