Description
The ground floor is arranged to support both everyday living and more formal occasions. The entrance hall sets the tone for the home, leading into a bright kitchen with generous work surfaces, ample storage, and views over the garden. A separate utility room provides further workspace and appliance capacity, along with direct access to the outside.
The dining room sits close to the kitchen and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. The main living room is a comfortable and spacious area, filled with natural light from wide doors opening into the conservatory. This additional reception space offers a versatile environment with full-height glazing that connects the interior to the garden throughout the year.
A study is also positioned on the ground floor, giving a useful area for work or quiet tasks. Completing the ground floor layout is a cloakroom set just off the entrance hall.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The main bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook over the front garden and benefits from its own ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms offer flexible space suitable for family use, guests, or additional study areas as required.
A family bathroom completes the floor, offering a practical space designed to meet everyday needs.
The property sits within generous grounds that create a strong sense of privacy from the moment you arrive.
A gravelled driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage. To the rear, the garden stretches out across an impressive lawn bordered by mature trees and established planting, offering an inviting setting for outdoor enjoyment.
A paved terrace sits directly behind the house for easy outdoor dining, while a large, detached outbuilding provides a versatile space suited to use as an office, studio, or games room.
