Beautifully presented throughout, this substantial property offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, perfectly blending traditional character with modern family living. Occupying a generous plot with beautifully landscaped gardens and uninterrupted rural views across the southern slopes of the Moors, the property enjoys a peaceful and picturesque setting while remaining conveniently close to local schools, village amenities, and transport links.

This lovely family home has been thoughtfully extended to the rear, creating an additional reception room currently used as a craft room and home office, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the stunning garden and panoramic countryside outlook. Internally, the property retains a wealth of charm and character, including a welcoming traditional hallway with excellent storage, a bay-fronted living room, and a superb open-plan farmhouse-style dining kitchen-ideal for entertaining family and friends. Featuring a large Range cooker, breakfasting space, and an adjoining utility room, this area forms the true heart of the home.  Further ground floor accommodation includes a rear lobby, cloakroom/wc and the home office/study, which offers direct access to the gardens.

To the first floor are three generously sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom enjoying delightful rural views, alongside a family bathroom complete with a separate shower cubicle. Every room enjoys its own attractive outlook over either the surrounding countryside or the mature gardens. A fixed staircase rises to the second floor, offering exciting additional space with built-in storage, eaves cupboards, a study area with far-reaching moorland views, and an en-suite shower room-ideal as potential guest accommodation, a creative workspace, or further bedroom suite.

Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles and leading to a rear detached double garage/workshop. The mature south-facing gardens are a particular highlight, featuring decorative borders, established shrubs and trees, traditional stone wall boundaries, and spectacular open countryside views.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home within one of the region's most desirable National Park locations-offering the perfect balance of village life, outdoor lifestyle, and space for growing families or visiting guests.
