Leading from the kitchen, the large utility room has a butlers sink, space for washing machine and dryer as well as a pantry cupboard.

On the first floor, the impressive master bedroom leads to a separate dressing room and en suite bathroom with roll top bath. Bedrooms two, four and five are all double bedrooms whilst bedroom two is currently used as a study and single bedroom. All are served by a large family bathroom with bath and shower.

Outside, the rear garden serves as an extension of the indoor living accommodation, perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike. The summer room with double doors overlooking the garden and greenhouse beyond provides a lovely space to unwind and relax. In addition, the outhouse complete with original ‘Copper’, provides additional storage space, but has the potential to be converted into additional living space subject to planning.

There are large paved areas, a small well-stocked fish pond and beyond the trellis a pathway leads to the green house, 2 raised beds and a gooseberry patch. The front and rear gardens are surrounded by well stocked easy to maintain flowering borders. Flowering cherries, crab apple, laburnum and a magnolia tree provide stunning displays of blossom in the spring and early summer.
