This beautifully presented property has been updated and extended by the current owners creating a wonderful family home with the addition of an open plan kitchen/ family/ dining room with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. Many fine period features have been retained including extensive exposed timbers, wooden internal doors and attractive inglenook fireplace in the sitting room.

The detached outbuilding with large garage and store has been extended to create a spacious two storey annexe with open plan kitchen/ dining / family room to the ground floor and to the first floor an impressive studio flooded with light from the picture windows and a large bedroom suite with wet room. From the bedroom, sliding doors open onto an attractive and spacious balcony having the benefit of a lift, with glazed balustrade and lovely views.

Benefitting from oil fired central heating and double glazing the accommodation is set over three floors with a welcoming entrance hall with picture window, staircase leading to the ground floor with a cosy sitting room with Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, well appointed breakfast kitchen complete with bespoke painted units opening to the family / dining room with doors onto the garden. The lower ground floor comprises a utility room and cloakroom off with WC.

To the first floor are two double bedrooms, from the master bedroom steps lead down to the en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom are accessed from the second floor landing.

The Old Croft enjoys an open aspect with farmland adjoining. The garden has been designed with gravelled terracing and deep flower borders with an abundance of seasonal flowers, shrubs and trees. For the keen gardener there is a vegetable area, poly tunnel and a potting shed.
