The property provides well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors together with a spacious cellar. Features include wood framed sash windows to some rooms, high ceilings, attractive brick fireplace, exposed solid wood flooring to the entrance hall and reception rooms, some period-style radiators and ornate cornicing. The house benefits from its own private garden and wonderful views, and sits within established communal gardens and grounds, including a tennis court. Also of note is the private parking for North Wing and en bloc double garage.

The reception rooms comprise a sitting room with a sash window incorporating fitted shutters and a window seat together with French doors opening to the front, and a drawing room of excellent proportions with striking open fireplace, to the first floor. The drawing room enjoys garden views to the rear.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a bespoke range of wall and base units incorporating a larder cupboard and matching island, all with quartz work surfaces over and integral appliances. Fitted shelving with cupboards under, sits either side of full height windows with central French doors opening out to the garden.

There is a cloakroom to the reception hall and stairs lead down to the spacious cellar with boiler room and utility room with generous storage.

The principal bedroom is arranged over the first floor and enjoys a walk in dressing area with fitted cupboards and an en suite shower room.

To the second floor there is a guest bedroom with walk in dressing area and en suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

From the shared driveway, a pedestrian path leads down the side of the property where it widens to a paved terrace which leads to the front door and the enclosed rear gardens via a pedestrian gate. To the other side of the circular driveway there is an en bloc double garage and private parking to the front for two vehicles.

The rear gardens comprise an expanse of level lawn and a generous terrace spanning the width of the property and providing an ideal area for al fresco dining. A further decked terrace is situated to the rear and a wooden gate provides access to the communal grounds.
