Thoughtfully designed, this beautiful home enjoys a well-considered and balanced layout providing impressive living accommodation that is light, generously proportioned throughout and with carefully selected design features.

The house presents a Blue Lias natural-stone front elevation laid in regular coursed rows, with dressed stone quoins and matching lintels and cills to the window and door openings. Side and rear walls are finished in a light, smooth render that contrasts with the stonework yet follows the same straightforward proportions. A pitched roof in clay double-Roman tiles spans the structure, accommodating two dormer windows to the front and three flush rooflights to the rear. The central front doorway sits beneath a simple stone hood on corbels, flanked by sash-style windows arranged symmetrically. At the rear, three white-framed French doors open to the garden, while casement windows above mirror the overall alignment of the façades. Rainwater goods are in black, and the garden is enclosed by a stone boundary wall with timber fencing to the sides, providing definition and privacy without altering the clean lines of the build.
