On the ground floor there is an incredible amount of reception space, with a triple aspect sitting room (with inset log burning stove) opening through to a 15ft conservatory. There is also a study, a separate dining room and a breakfast room open plan into the stylish kitchen with a range of units accompanied by quality integrated appliances, granite worktops and natural stone flooring. In addition there is a downstairs cloakroom and a door from the breakfast room into the spacious double garage with light, power, a utility area and an electric door.

Outside, a large driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles. There is a front enclosed lawn with established shrubs and mature trees that run through to an even larger rear garden packed with seasonal plants and colourful fruit trees and shrubs. The garden enjoys an excellent amount of privacy and is a notable feature of this house with some summer photos included to demonstrate how colourful it becomes in the summer months.
