With double-aspect windows framing the surrounding garden, the space is both bright and practical, with room for a dishwasher and freestanding fridge-freezer.
An open archway leads into the elegant dining room, providing an ideal setting for both everyday meals and more formal entertaining, while maintaining a natural connection to the central hall.

A second reception room, currently used as a study but equally suited as a snug or playroom, sits beside the generous sitting room. This inviting space boasts a bespoke fitted bookcase, and a charming brick fireplace, creating an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation. A discreetly positioned cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the central landing gives access to two generously proportioned bedrooms.

The second bedroom, also a spacious double, is positioned opposite and benefits from its own outlook over the gardens, complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The wraparound garden is designed for ease of maintenance, bordered by mature hedging, flowering shrubs, and herbaceous planting. A delightful wisteria climbs gracefully across the façade, adding seasonal charm. A block-paved driveway offers parking for three vehicles and leads to a large single garage which also houses the property’s utility area.
