At the front of the house is a covered entranceway, with a door opening into a porch with built-in storage. An inner door then continues into a spacious and traditional hall incorporating an attractive herringbone floor, the staircase to the first floor accommodation and further cupboards. Off the main hall is a downstairs WC. To the right of the hall is the main sitting room, which is comfortable in size and dual-aspect, with a bay window to the side and external patio doors opening to the front. There is also a central stone fireplace with an inset wood burning stove.
Across the hall is a separate dining room, with double sliding doors opening into a third reception room. Also dual-aspect, the snug has a further set of patio doors to the front and a window to the side looking out across farmland. A door then continues through into the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of wooden fronted floor and wall units, an integrated dishwasher, space for a freestanding cooker, a Rayburn and access into a good size timber framed conservatory (with double doors on both sides), a useful utility area and an additional sun room at the rear.
On the first floor, a part-galleried landing has a large window to the rear, which allows in plenty of natural light and takes in the pleasant outlook. There are four bedrooms on this level; three doubles and a generous size single. The first and second bedroom (the latter benefitting from an en-suite shower room) are both dual-aspect with windows to the front and side of the property. Three of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom including a panelled bath, a low level WC, a wash hand basin, a separate shower cubicle and a heated towel rail.
In summary, the property offers a versatility that would suit a wide range of requirements. Planning permission was granted in October 2023, reference number: 2023/1672/HSE, for various extensions to the main residence, both single and double-storey. The existing plans would make a fabulously spacious family home, thoughtfully designed to maximise space, light and flow. Externally, the permission granted also transforms the property aesthetically, with the proposed finish creating a remarkable detached home in what is already a beautiful setting. The added convenience of the village amenities and accessible transport links make this a superb opportunity for a purchaser seeking a property they can make their own.

Entered via double gates, which open into a circular driveway, providing extensive off-road parking and ample room to turn. The driveway then leads to a detached double garage (2011 x 207), with two up and over doors, light, power, windows, WC with basin, external door and an enclosed staircase rising to a fantastic home office/studio room above. There is considerable scope for conversion into ancillary accommodation (subject to gaining the necessary consents). Linden Lea is within a generous and established plot of almost one acre (0.94), adjoining neighbouring farmland. The gardens are perfect for families and green-fingered purchasers alike. Surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, enjoying lots of privacy with the gardens separated into two main areas. Directly behind the house is a large area of formal lawn with an expansive patio area, making the most of the delightful rural outlook on the north-western aspect. A pathway then continues through the hedge enclosure to the impressive upper section. Predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of fruit trees, vegetable plots and an array of mature trees, shrubs and planting, this more hidden section of the garden is a true haven, ideal for relaxing and outdoor entertaining. Within this part of the grounds is a timber summerhouse with picnic area, a greenhouse and a garden shed.
