The kitchen and breakfast room has shaker-style units to base and wall level, a split butler sink, a large central island with a breakfast bar and a range cooker. The adjoining utility has further space for
storage and appliances. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious library/play room with built-in storage and a useful cloakroom. The property benefits from a cellar that offers extensive storage space that could be developed into further accommodation if required.

On the first floor there are four well-appointed double bedrooms including the well-presented principal bedroom with its fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower. On the second floor there are a further two double bedrooms, one of which could be used as a study, plus a shower room and cloakroom.
