The original ceiling coving has been retained, while a modern wood burner sits centrally in the room.

The dual-aspect dining area has a window to the side elevation, a window and door to the rear garden, a gas fire, wooden flooring, and an opening to the kitchen. The kitchen has an eye-catching vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, skylight windows, an integrated gas hob, an electric oven, and a large central island.

The beautifully landscaped garden enjoys an open southwest aspect. A raised deck area extends from the house, featuring a dining area covered by a pergola and raised planters to the border with various mature plants and shrubs. Steps lead onto a paved seating area, a pond with a bridge over to access the timber-framed garden room fitted with electrics, double glazing, underfloor heating and a skylight window.
