An inner hall leads to the ground floor bathroom, which includes a panelled bath, pedestal hand basin and WC. Further along, a rear hallway provides access to a separate shower room and a fourth double bedroom which is currently configured as a bright and airy family room/office, complete with French doors opening to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the layout is divided into two wings. At the front of the house, a generous master bedroom is accessed via a dedicated staircase from the inner hall. This light-filled space benefits from dual aspect views, including a charming outlook over nearby allotments and towards the local church. French doors open onto a flat roof area and the room enjoys the added benefit of a private ensuite shower room with WC and wash basin.

To the rear of the property, a second staircase rises from the rear hall, leading to two good-sized double bedrooms. Bedroom two features side-view windows and rear-view visibility over the back garden and church. Bedroom three also features side-view widows, as well as access to the flat roof.

Outside, the property is surrounded by gardens to the front, side, and rear, with mature planting and hedging providing privacy and charm. A concrete hardstanding area lies within the rear garden, and a driveway offers ample off-street parking. The substantial garage measures 19’3" x 9'2” and provides additional storage or workshop potential.
