The main bedroom for the house is on the ground floor with a stylish ensuite bath and shower room off it, and there are four further ground floor reception rooms connected by the semi vaulted central entrance hallway, with entrance porch access from the drive. There are three further double bedrooms off the large first floor landing, one of which is served by an ensuite shower room and the others, by a spacious modern fitted bathroom with separate bath and shower.

The Annexe, which is independently accessed from the side of the house but could be connected via an internal doorway that would open from the 2nd study/ground floor bedroom, from the main house, into the main open-plan reception room, for the annexe. This accommodation is equally well presented and affords a modern fitted kitchen area with utility space, sitting/ding area, with feature fireplace focal point, and a good double bedroom with fitted cupboards and ‘wet room’ ensuite shower. The services to the annexe are also independent to those of the main house.

The property is approached over a spacious gravel driveway with lawned front garden and parking for numerous vehicles to the front of the house and annexe. To the rear of the house, the well-tended grounds, which extend in all to around 0.3 acre, is mainly lawned with a brick paved terrace and pathways leading to the front down both sides of the house. The rear garden benefits from being enclosed by brick walls to two boundaries and close board fencing, with flower and shrub beds and borders and there is a raised vegetable/herb bed to the side. A useful wooden garden house with power and light provides storage/workshop space and there is a separate garden shed and a decked area, upon which the hot tub stands.
