Two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, which is conveniently positioned off the hallway. This arrangement is ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or as flexible work-from-home space. Completing the ground floor is an integral double garage.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor where a large landing gives access to the main bedroom. This room enjoys far-reaching views across the garden. The first floor also includes a bathroom with bath, WC, and washbasin, as well as ample eaves storage.

The property also benefits from two outbuildings, a summer house and a former ice house, offering additional storage.
