The front reception is beautifully bright with its east-facing aspect, while the adjoining second reception — finished in a sophisticated teal tone — offers a versatile family or media room, also complete with a period fireplace and further built-in storage.

To the rear lies the true heart of the home, a stunning, extended kitchen/dining/living space. Thoughtfully designed, the kitchen features a striking navy central island with marble worktops, integrated Siemens appliances, a hob and sink, and ample preparation space. Engineered wooden flooring runs throughout, while multiple skylights flood the room with natural light. There is generous space for a large dining table as well as a relaxed seating area to the rear, creating distinct yet connected zones for everyday living.

Floor-to-ceiling doors open onto a beautifully maintained 26ft west-facing garden, with a paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining and a lawned area bordered by mature planting, a perfect setting for both entertaining and family use.

The ground floor also benefits from a guest WC and access to a useful cellar for additional storage.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with a large bay window and excellent natural light. A stylish family bathroom serves this floor. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, one with built-in storage, alongside an additional family bathroom, offering flexible accommodation for growing families or guests.
