Just off the kitchen, a separate utility area provides space for laundry appliances and extra storage, with a convenient ground floor WC close by. Upstairs, the galleried landing adds a sense of openness and leads to two double bedrooms. The main bedroom is especially spacious, comfortably fitting bedroom furniture while still offering plenty of room to move around. The second double bedroom would make an excellent guest room, study, or dressing room, depending on need. The family bathroom is located on the first floor and includes a full white suite with simple, neutral finishes in keeping with the rest of the home.

Outside, the walled rear garden offers a private and attractive space that’s ideal for relaxing, reading, or enjoying meals outdoors. A recently added pergola provides shade and a focal point for alfresco dining or quiet evenings under the stars. The garden is easy to maintain yet full of charm, offering a peaceful retreat without the upkeep of a large garden. The property is freehold and benefits from a thoughtful balance of character and practicality, with tasteful upgrades throughout and the added appeal of its period detailing.
