A standout feature is the converted garage, now a superb ground-floor bedroom suite.

With the flexibility to also serve as a garden room, studio or second home office, it adds real value to the overall layout.

On the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms, all presented in a calm, neutral style.

Bedroom two also enjoys an en-suite, ideal for older children or guests, while two further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom fitted with a modern suite and contemporary tiling.
