Configured to provide a practical and cohesive living and entertaining environment, sensitively combining generously-proportioned accommodation and modern amenities with period features including casement glazing, some exposed wall and ceiling beams and brick walls and original fireplaces, the accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with useful storage and cloakroom and a door to the integral garage. It briefly comprises a generous sitting room with an exposed herringbone-bricked wall, feature exposed brick open fireplace flanked on each side by bespoke shelving, and French doors to the front garden. The property also features a spacious dining room with an exposed brick fireplace, complemented by a generously sized dual-aspect kitchen/dining room. The kitchen showcases a distinctive angled rear wall, contemporary high-gloss wall and base units, a large central island with a breakfast bar, and complementary worktops and splashbacks. An Aga and modern integrated appliances add to its appeal, while ample space for a breakfast table ensures practicality. Adjacent is a well-appointed utility room, which connects to a rear-aspect family room, offering direct access to the garden.

On the first floor the property provides a large 28ft front aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage, en suite shower room and a separate en suite bathroom together with a further double bedroom with spacious en suite bathroom with freestanding bath. The property’s remaining bedroom, two offices suitable for use as additional double bedrooms and a family shower room can be found on the second floor.

Annexe
The property also benefits from a 569 sq ft annexe, accessible from its own own separate entrance and comprising a ground floor sitting room/bedroom with en suite shower room which could be converted into a kitchen and a first floor bedroom including separate seating area with en suite shower room. The current owners have let out the annexe as a successful Air BnB business but it could equaly be used for multi-generational accommodation/as a 'Granny annexe'.

Set behind stone walling and having plenty of kerb appeal, the garage is approached from the rear and benefits from private parking. The enclosed front garden is laid to level lawn and features a generous gravelled terrace, the whole providing an ideal spot for entertaining and al fresco dining.
