The ground floor boasts four reception rooms that offer various options for entertaining, working, and relaxing.

The upper floor of the property comprises four double bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom that features fitted storage and an en-suite bathroom with a corner bath, twin wash basins and a separate shower unit. One of the other bedrooms is also en-suite plus there is a family bathroom.

At the entrance to the property, security gates open up to a gravel driveway that surrounds the picturesque pond and leads to a sizeable parking area at the front of the house. Additionally, there is a double garage located at the side of the house, along with a timber-framed cart lodge that provides covered parking space for two more vehicles.

The garden mainly resides at the front and side of the house and receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day due to its south-facing aspect. The garden comprises a vast lawn area, paved terracing, a heated swimming pool with pool house and a summerhouse with a cloakroom.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
