The kitchen is an equally impressive room fitted with an extensive range of units incorporating integrated appliances, a central workstation and an electric Aga. An archway opens from the kitchen into an adjacent dining room with French windows leading to the rear garden. A cloakroom and utility complete the ground floor space. To the first floor is a principal bedroom with built in wardrobes and EnSuite, with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level.

Outside

A timber 5-bar gate opens to the front of the property on to a gravelled area providing parking and access to an integral garage with an internal door through to kitchen dining space. To the front of the property, steps lead up from the driveway through a stone retaining wall to a good-sized area of lawn flanked on one boundary by a wide, well stocked flower and shrub border. A wide gravelled pathway leads on from the parking area past the front of the house to a sheltered gravelled rear garden from which doors open into the sitting room. Access can be gained around either side of the property to the rear where there is a further landscaped garden mostly laid to gravel, interspersed with areas of paving, softened with attractive planting. This garden has a southerly aspect and is protected by a lovely copper beech hedge.
