Living space is abundant and adaptable. The main lounge features elegant wood flooring and a cosy fireplace, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxing evenings. A second reception room offers additional space for entertaining or unwinding, while the third reception room—converted from the original garage—provides a flexible area that can serve as a home office, playroom, or family den.

Set on an impressive plot of approximately one acre, the property enjoys ample off-road parking to both the front and rear. A large detached workshop or garage adds further value, providing excellent storage, hobby space, or commercial potential for those seeking a work-from-home solution or running a small business.
