The 31ft kitchen/dining room also has sliding doors accessing the garden whilst the kitchen has been well-fitted with a breakfast bar, integrated appliances and a hot tap. A study is located beside the entrance hall with an inner glazed hallway connecting the principal living areas. To the other side, there is a downstairs WC, fitted cloakroom and utility room with both side access and door into the garage. On the first floor, there are four generous bedrooms all with built-in storage. The family bathroom benefits from both a bath and separate shower unit. The principal and second bedroom have private en-suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly large room with a dual-aspect and fitted wardrobes. 

Hidden from the road by the high hedging, the property is entered over a large tarmac driveway providing private parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the double garage. There is an EV charging point installed within the garage. The sizable garden is an excellent secure and private area to enjoy, laid mostly to lawn with a raised seating terrace landscaped off the rear of the house complete with remote operated awning above.
