Offering plenty of versatile family space, the property boasts three reception rooms and a contemporary kitchen on the ground floor, and four double-sized bedrooms arranged over the first and second floor levels with a superb, recently upgraded en-suite shower room allocated to the principal bedroom. In addition to the en-suite, this generous family home offers plenty of bathroom facilities with a stylish family bathroom, which has also been recently renovated, a separate shower room, and a convenient ground floor cloakroom which doubles up as a utility space.

Attached to the rear elevation, a further desirable feature of this property is an individual fifth double bedroom with a cloakroom and private external access from a delightful, walled courtyard garden. This self-contained room provides a perfect solution for those requiring a separate home office, a creative studio, or family members seeking independent space away from the main home.
