The property boasts elegantly proportioned rooms, flexible accommodation, and delightful front and rear gardens.

Perfectly blending period charm with modern comfort, the home retains a wealth of original features, including intricate cornicing, period fireplaces, natural wood bannisters, and impressively high ceilings.

To the front of the property is a charming bay-windowed sitting room, a fantastic space for both relaxing and entertaining. Of particular note is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living room to the rear, with a recently re-fitted and beautifully appointed kitchen by Riddle and Coghill. Cleverly configured, there is a generous island with breakfast bar while there is a delightful extension to the rear with ample room for a dining table with built-in seating in the bay, making it perfect for informal meals and social gatherings. The kitchen itself is modern and stylish, featuring generous worktop space, a range of integrated appliances, and an array of wall and base units. There is plenty of space for a sofa also, creating the ideal family living space. Off the kitchen, a spacious pantry and practical utility room offers excellent storage along with a convenient WC.
