On the ground floor there are four comfortable, well-presented reception rooms including the main reception with its sash bay window welcoming plenty of natural light. There is also a useful study, a formal dining room and a family room in which to relax. Towards the rear is the extended, 29ft kitchen and breakfast room with a conservatory-style glass ceiling, slate tiled flooring and sleek, modern fitted units including a central island.

The first floor provides four bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its well-proportioned en suite bathroom. Also on the first floor are two family bathrooms, with the second floor offering the additional four bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room. The bedrooms provide a variety of potential uses, including as a study, a play room or for home storage.

At the front of the property, security gates open onto a block-paved driveway, which provides parking space and access to the detached triple carport and the garage, which has useful additional accommodation above. The garden at the rear is southeast-facing and includes patio areas and decking, with a generous expanse of well-tended lawn beyond.
