Well-presented throughout, the ground floor accommodation comprises a shaker-style kitchen/diner with a separate utility and large square bay window, a good-sized sitting room fitted with a log-burning stove and internal bifold doors that open to the impressive garden room with underfloor heating.

Upstairs the sizable principal bedroom enjoys a square bay window with views to the rear garden, and an ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a single bedroom which is currently being used as a study by the family.

The house is approached over a long gravel drive, lined with red robin trees and flower beds, providing ample parking, with a single garage and carport to one side. The gardens as a whole are mainly laid to lawn to three sides of the house, with a sheltered courtyard to the fourth, for use either by the main house or the annexe. Established evergreen hedging to the boundaries and a number of mature shrubs and trees including an apple tree. To the rear are herbaceous beds, a bank of rhododendrons and terraces.
