Upstairs, the first-floor hosts six generously sized double bedrooms, offering ample space for family or guests, along with a family bathroom fitted with a white suite. The layout provides excellent potential for reconfiguration, including the addition of further bathrooms, subject to the necessary consents.
A secondary staircase leads to the rear landing, providing independent access to one of the bedrooms, ideal for a dependent relative or guest accommodation.

The generous lawned gardens lie to the south and east of the property, enclosed by mature native hedging and trees that provide a high degree of privacy and a tranquil outlook.
