ACCOMMODATION:

From the moment you step into the welcoming entrance hall—with its exposed beams, timber panelling and flagstone floors—you gain a sense of this home’s wonderful heritage, formerly the 'Manor House' of Ashcott. The ground floor flows effortlessly between spacious reception rooms, each full of warmth and individuality. The sitting room is a standout feature: a generous, light-filled space centred around a striking inglenook fireplace with wood beam mantle, complemented by large windows looking onto the front garden, framed by traditional wooden shutters and a window seat. Across the hall, the dining room offers an atmospheric setting for entertaining, boasting exposed brickwork, elm flooring and a traditional fireplace. The heart of the home is a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke wooden cabinetry, tiled flooring, granite worktops and an undermounted sink. There's ample space for an informal dining arrangement, creating the perfect family gathering point that's equally well appointed for cooking. Beyond the kitchen lies a practical utility room, generous store room and access to the impressive conservatory. Flooded with natural light and enjoying wonderful garden views, the conservatory provides an ideal year‑round living or dining space with direct access to the patio.

The first floor hosts three bedrooms including two spacious doubles and a single room which could also serve as an office, each showcasing exposed beams and cottage-style character. The principal bedroom is especially charming, with its range of fitted wardrobes and an en‑suite shower room. The fabulous guest room also enjoys direct access to its own ensuite shower room, with all other bedrooms served by the well appointed family bathroom on this level. The second floor provides two further generous bedrooms, ideal for guests, older children or adaptable home-working spaces. The floorplan offers excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or hobby rooms and we encourage interested parties to arrange a viewing to fully appreciate the space on offer here.
