The spacious open plan kitchen diner benefits from views of the beautifully tended garden and benefits from an Aga range and integrated appliances. Access via double doors leads to the patio which is perfect for summer
entertaining. Accessed via the kitchen is the study, separate utility room and cosy lounge area which in turn provides access to the games room/ bedroom 5 above, with its own walk in wardrobe that could be utilised as an en-suite as well as eaves storage.

To the right-hand side of the property, sits a further two reception rooms, the first of which is the formal dining room, with original wooden parquet flooring, cast iron radiators, original port hole window and double doors leading onto the patio. The parquet flooring continues through to the largest of the reception rooms which is the drawing room, a room beaming with character to include an eye-catching, inglenook brick fireplace, wooden beams overhead and a chandelier in keeping with the rest of the room. The room is dual aspect, allowing floods of light through as well as providing further access to the patio and garden via double doors.

Upstairs, there are four generous sized double bedrooms all of which benefit from not only fitted wardrobes but wonderfully stylish ensuite shower rooms with underfloor heating. The main bedroom benefits even further from a walk-in wardrobe as well as a modern en-suite bath and shower room with vanity unit.

Externally, the property is surrounded by gardens which are laid to lawn with mature hedging and coniferous trees along the border. The driveway provides ample parking as well as access to a car port and the double garage. To the rear, the patio extends the width of the property and provides a brilliant space to host summer parties and entertain guests. The southerly facing garden is level for the most part which makes it very versatile in its usage and even comes equipped with its very own Red Telephone Box for those
