The kitchen boasts built-in appliances, granite worktops, and a door leading outside, offering the perfect space for hosting family and friends. Also on this level are two generously sized double bedrooms, one of which includes fitted wardrobes. A stylish shower room with a walk-in shower doubles as a guest cloakroom, providing both functionality and elegance.

An open-tread staircase with glass balustrades leads to the stunning mezzanine, a versatile area that can be used as a study, entertainment space, or relaxation zone. The principal bedroom suite offers a luxurious retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, creating a peaceful haven within the home. Throughout the property, you’ll find underfloor heating and double glazing, ensuring comfort and efficiency, as well as the convenience of a built-in Vacu-duct system.

Outside, the south-facing garden is beautifully landscaped, featuring mature trees, shrubs, a brick pathway, and a well-maintained lawn. The garden has even been included in the prestigious National Garden Scheme. A detached black weatherboarded cart lodge offers ample parking and storage, with its pitched roof providing additional space if required.
