The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring attractive wood-effect wall tiling and a freestanding roll-top bath. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary shower room with a large walk-in shower. The property is approached via a private driveway lined with silver birch trees, creating an impressive arrival. A generous parking area provides ample space for several vehicles. The gardens wrap around the house and comprise paved seating areas, lawn and shrub and flower borders.
