A front porch with oak flooring sets the tone, opening into a beautifully presented interior.

The ground floor bathroom is stylishly appointed with a freestanding ball-and-claw bath with shower attachment, separate shower cubicle, vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail.

The principal bedroom is a generous, vaulted double with exposed beams, built-in wardrobes and views to the front. Bedroom two is another spacious double with exposed beams and potential to open into the pitched ceiling for enhanced head height. From here, a door leads into bedroom three, currently used as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and steps down to the sitting room below.

The rear garden is a wonderful feature of the home, beginning with an extensive paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining. A meandering path leads through mature planting to a large storage shed at the far end. The garden is bordered by tall hedging, offering privacy and a tranquil feel. To the front, the property enjoys off-road parking, traditional lawned areas with mature flower beds, and a picket fence framing the approach to the front door.
