Thought originally to have been two cottages, Rook Hall has been sympathetically converted during its lifetime, and now offers four double bedroomed accommodation.

The spacious reception hall is large enough to be used as a study and one of the two staircases is located in this area. Next you enter the charming sitting room incorporating an open brick fireplace with adjacent alcove and displaying a wealth of original exposed beams. The west facing aspect has a window and French doors opening onto the grounds. From the sitting room a door leads to the cosy dining room where the fireplace could be recommissioned if desired, and which has the second staircase to the first floor. The kitchen has been fitted with a superb range of wooden wall and base cabinets, having fully tiled surrounds and a convenient breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and hob, a dishwasher and electric Aga. A breakfast bar provides a useful space for meals. Two doors lead away from the kitchen, one to a study/snug which includes the cloakroom, and the other to the utility room. This has a sink unit, windows to two aspects and a stable door.

The first floor can be approached from either end of the property and comprises the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bedroom four also has a staircase to the attic which has two rooms with sky lights to the roof.

Surrounded by open countryside, Rook Hall sits centrally within its grounds and is approached via a private drive. To the front aspect there is an attractive copse of mature trees providing seclusion. The drive has parking for several vehicles and includes a single garage. The remainder of the grounds are set to lawns with established borders comprising trees and hedges. Outbuildings include a green house, brick storage sheds and, located to the very rear, a shed used for garden equipment and log store.

This property has 1.2 acres of land.
