The elegant sitting room is enhanced with original ornate details such as coving, skirting boards, a solid wood floor, cast iron fireplace and a wood-burning stove.

Double doors lead to a breathtaking kitchen/dining/family room, that can also be accessed from the hallway as well. The open-plan kitchen/dining space boasts a spectacular vaulted glass ceiling, allowing ample natural light. A large walnut island unit with a Caple downdraft extractor and Corian work surface offers casual dining, while bi-fold doors open to the south-facing patio. There is a separate cloakroom and utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine for convenience.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom with a large square bay window, fitted wardrobes, and an en suite shower room. Bedroom 2 features bespoke fitted drawers and wardrobes, while Bedroom 3 offers garden views. The stylish family bathroom includes a fully tiled shower unit, a separate bath, W.C, sink, and heated towel rail. A further set of stairs lead to an additional double bedroom.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and features a paved patio off the rear of the house, perfect for al fresco dining and leads to the lawn bordered by mature shrubs and plants. At the end of the garden, a gate provides access to Singers Lane where there is off street private parking and access to the spacious garage with light and power, with its own door to the garden.

The front, off St. Marks Road, access is through a wrought iron gate and a chequerboard path, that leads to a charming covered storm porch, completing the welcoming entrance.
