The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and has a sumptuous en-suite bathroom. The four remaining bedrooms are served by a luxury family bathroom and there is an additional room on the first floor that could be utilised as a hobby room, study or a practical ironing room, the chosen use by the current owner.

The delightful walled rear garden offers a peaceful and secluded space with a lovely, wooded backdrop and benefits from the sunshine from early morning to late afternoon.
