4 bedroom detached house

The airy central reception hall with a cloakroom and a stairway rising to the first floor introduces the fine herringbone flooring that runs throughout much of the ground floor. From here is the 15 ft. multi-aspect sitting room with its charming feature fireplace. The space opens naturally via wide sliding doors into the formal dining room, with its double doors opening directly to the rear terrace and garden. Alongside this is a well-sized and versatile study with a wall of fitted storage and peaceful garden views. Completing the ground floor is the kitchen, which features a range of wall and base cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces, a butler sink and a door to the garden.

The roomy first floor is home to a bright landing which branches off onto a separate family bathroom and cloakroom and four well-proportioned bedrooms with various fitted storage.

A brick-laid driveway leading to the adaptable integrated garage sits beside the front garden, with a low stone-built wall, a section of level lawn, colourful flowers and shrubbery. The rear garden enjoys a stone-paved terrace spanning the width of the home with inset planting features. This is followed by a large circular level lawn with well-stocked herbaceous borders on either side. A stone pathway meanders to the sectioned-off rear garden with trellis and a timber-built summer house, which is also ideal for sheds, greenhouses and the like.
