Multigenerational living

Returning to the hallway, stairs descend from the entrance hallway to a cloakroom which provides storage and precedes access to the large double garage, which offers space for both cars and storage.

Beyond, the spacious bedroom opens up - showcasing breathtaking views out to the horizon.

Back on the landing, a series of carpeted stairs leads up once more to another landing, where a large double bedroom furnished with a deep walk-in wardrobe offers elevated views out over the glorious countryside to the front.

A further bedroom can be found opposite, served by its own private dressing room which could serve as a sixth bedroom or even a study.
