The kitchen diner is a true centerpiece, stretching front to back with integrated appliances, a large island, dual Belfast sinks, and a Victorian fireplace.

Upstairs, five double bedrooms each retain original fireplaces and period detailing. The principal suite offers dual-aspect views, a roll-top bath, dressing room, and luxury en suite with marble basin and wet room.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the house with mature planting, entertaining patios, a BBQ area and a converted hay loft/craft room above the garage. There’s ample parking, an EV charging point and a separate storage room suitable for a classic car or workshop.
