Further bedrooms are thoughtfully laid out, with the top floor providing two additional en suite rooms, ideal for guests or independent living. Additional bathrooms serve the remaining accommodation.
Externally, the south-facing gardens are a defining feature. Thoughtfully landscaped, they offer a high degree of privacy and a delightful setting. A broad terrace adjoins the house and provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, beyond which lies a well-maintained lawn framed by mature planting and established trees.
The property further benefits from gas central heating, sash-style windows and excellent built-in storage throughout. Constructed circa 2003, it combines the reassurance of modern construction with timeless architectural styling.
