Bi-folding doors extend into a recent addition – a highly glazed garden room – also benefitting from underfloor heating. Two sliding glass panes create a seamless connection to the garden, allowing the outside to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

An exquisite oak staircase with glass balustrade and subtle low-level lighting rises to the first floor. Here, a superb principal guest bedroom enjoys bespoke fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room. A further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, two additional bedrooms overlooking the garden, and a stylish house bathroom complete this level.

Occupying the entire second floor, the magnificent master bedroom suite provides a luxurious retreat with an en suite shower room and a generous eaves storage cupboard. The current owners have added an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes, shelving and matching bedside tables.
