The remaining space, configurable to the purchaser’s own requirements, has space for a sizeable dining table and a seating area, creating a stunning living and entertaining area. On the part-vaulted first floor, the property provides a principal bedroom with a dressing area and en suite shower room and three further well-proportioned bedrooms, one with walk-in storage and an original cast iron open fireplace, together with a family bathroom.

Set behind a raised area of level lawn screened by maturer hedging and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a block-paved driveway providing private parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the oak-framed storm porch. The well-maintained part-walled wraparound garden to the front and side aspects is laid mainly to lawn bordered by elegant planting and raised beds. It features a generous paved side terrace accessible from the kitchen, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
