The ground floor is enhanced by solid oak flooring, skirting boards, and oak internal doors. A beautifully handcrafted solid oak kitchen, complete with birch ply carcasses, pull-out storage solutions, a walk-in larder, and striking Star Galaxy granite worktops with breakfast bar, provides an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the property offers a total of five bedrooms, a family bathroom, and two en-suites. The home is approached via a long private brick driveway, providing ample parking and access to a substantial double garage. Solar panels contribute towards heating the water, significantly reducing energy costs, particularly during the summer months, as advised by our client.
