From the moment you set eyes upon The Dairy, this home creates a striking impression. With its attractive façade and extensive, gated driveway, first impressions of the property set great expectations for the interior. And it certainly doesn’t disappoint! The solid oak front door opens into a wide entrance hall finished with marble-effect floor tiles and calming, neutral tones.

The guest bedroom is another airy room with plenty of space for furniture and its own fully tiled, contemporary, ensuite shower room. The third double bedroom features an attractive panelled feature wall, whilst the generous single bedroom would also make a fantastic home office. The stunning family bathroom is finished in striking marble-effect tiles with a contemporary white suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, creating a luxurious spa-like feel.

Outside, the 108’ x 71’ east-facing garden is a lovely feature. A large, paved terrace provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or summer dining, leading down to a large lawn bordered by mature hedging for privacy. It’s an ideal space for children to play or enjoy a spot of football practice. It’s also a fabulous setting for entertaining friends on warm evenings.

A wide, gated gravel driveway provides secure off-road parking for several vehicles, completing this superb family home.
