STEP INSIDE:

Upon arrival, you are greeted by a spacious, light-filled hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the property. To the east wing, three generously proportioned double bedrooms await, each featuring refurbished, luxurious en-suite shower rooms that echo the standard of a five-star hotel.

Off the hallway, you’ll find a quiet study, thoughtfully positioned away from the main living areas to ensure a tranquil work environment.

The living room, accessed from the dining area, is a true statement space, where your gaze is drawn to the impressive wooden-framed fireplace. The exquisite wood-effect porcelain tiled flooring further enhances the sense of sophistication. Sliding doors from the living room lead seamlessly to the sun terrace, ideal for alfresco dining or relaxing in the open air.

Beyond the kitchen, a well-appointed utility room, a boiler cupboard, and a cloakroom add convenience to the layout. The principal bedroom is a magnificent retreat, offering generous proportions, a private door to the patio, and access to an opulent en-suite bathroom. The remainder of the garage is also accessible from here, providing additional storage.
