The modern fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room has a range of cupboards, an electric gaggenau oven, gaggenau gas hob, Neff dishwasher and whirlpool microwave/grill. Off the kitchen is a utility room with additional cupboards, sink unit and undercounter fridge. Steps lead up from the utility room to a guest bedroom/bedroom five, with vaulted ceilings, which could be utilised as a potential annexe/office space.
Stairs lead from the hall to the lovely light filled landing. There are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and en suite bathroom on the first floor. The main bedroom is of excellent proportions, enjoying wonderful rural views, and benefitting from a modern en suite bathroom and dressing room.

Lined with horse chestnut trees and an abundance of wild garlic and flowers, the attractive and well established gardens lie mainly to one side of the property.
