The house is approached via a useful entrance porch, leading into a central hallway.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook and served by a spacious family bathroom fitted with a bath, walk-in shower, wash basin and bidet, with a separate WC.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The elevated position provides far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with a real sense of privacy and tranquillity. The gardens are mature and particularly attractive, offering a variety of established planting and pleasant areas to enjoy the setting. There is also the benefit of outbuildings providing useful additional storage. Ample off-road parking and a large garage further enhance the practicality of the home.
