Every detail of the interior has been thoughtfully considered, with bespoke cabinetry, premium fittings, and exquisite parquet flooring lending a sense of timeless sophistication. The kitchen flows effortlessly into an expansive, dual-aspect living room, where full-height windows frame garden views and a handsome feature fireplace provides an elegant focal point, ideal for both relaxed family living and more formal entertaining.

To the front of the property, a versatile reception room offers potential use as a fourth bedroom, a refined home office, or an inviting snug.
