The welcoming entrance opens into a striking double-height galleried dining area, immediately framing views of the rear garden and the rolling countryside beyond.

The kitchen is superbly appointed with high-gloss cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a separate pantry, ideal for family cooking and informal dining. At the far end, a light-filled dining area opens onto the garden through wide bi-fold doors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A separate utility room offers practical convenience, while a ground-floor double bedroom, currently used as a snug, features its own en suite bathroom, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. There is also a downstairs cloakroom in the hall.
