The property, which has been extended and refurbished by the previous owners but retains a plethora of original features, is approached behind a dwarf wall with a mature hedge. A Victorian tiled path leads to a panelled front door beneath a glazed fanlight. The house opens into a wide hallway with high ceilings with moulded cornicing, picture rail, understairs storage cupboard, a recess with coat hooks, and stripped wooden flooring and a concealed radiator. To the right of the hall is a well-proportioned drawing room with a bay window with shutters to the front and floating shelves to either side of a contemporary open gas fireplace with raised stone hearth.

To the rear the house opens into a large reception room with a multitude of uses, currently used as a dining room. A pair of glazed panelled double doors and a sash window allow in plenty of natural light and enhances the stripped wood floors and recessed feature fireplace. Beyond is an exceptional south-east facing kitchen breakfast room, which is further enhanced with travertine flooring, built in speakers, a large set of bi-folding doors with views over the garden, large roof lantern and underfloor heating. The well-appointed kitchen has a range of modern wall and floor mounted units and deep Corian work surfaces in addition to a more traditional larder cupboard. The kitchen is fully equipped with German appliances by Neff incorporating a brushed stainless electric fan oven, combination microwave/steaming oven, plate warming drawer, dishwasher, freezer, refrigerator. There is a central island unit again with deep Corian working surfaces and integrated wine cooler, two ring gas induction hob with Airforce hood. A cloakroom, large study and large utility room completes the downstairs accommodation.

A wide staircase leads to the first floor landing which communicates with three well-proportioned bedrooms. Of particular note is the exceptional bay fronted principal bedroom with window shutters and en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom with bath and shower over with high quality white sanitary ware. A staircase leads to the top floor with two good bedrooms and walk-in storage.

Outside the south-east facing garden has been laid mainly to lawn with a patio area for evening light at one end and a wooden deck across the rear of the house. There is also a large work and/or bike storage room at the front of the house which could be made smaller to accommodate a larger car on the driveway.
