The dual-aspect sitting room affords plenty of natural light and sliding doors open out to an enclosed private patio area, perfect for al fresco dining. Period features including ceiling coving, picture rails and an open fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

At the far end of the hall is the open-plan kitchen/dining room, dual-aspect and enjoying views over the front and rear gardens. There are a range of wall and base units, gas hob, oven and integrated dishwasher. Completing the ground floor is a useful under-stair storage cupboard.

The first floor features four bedrooms including the principal bedroom with extensive in-built storage. The three further bedrooms are well-proportioned and enjoy differing views across the gardens.
