The vestibule includes two useful storage cupboards, one of which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, while the hallway benefits from a generous under-stair cupboard.

The adjoining dining room is well proportioned and comfortably accommodates a family-sized table.

To the front of the property is the bright and spacious living room, featuring an exposed wooden beam. Completing the ground floor is the fourth double bedroom, a generous dual-aspect room that can easily accommodate a king-size bed.

Upstairs, a spacious landing with a Velux skylight provides access to the remaining rooms. The primary bedroom, accessed via a small corridor, is positioned at the rear and enjoys views over the garden and surrounding countryside. It includes built-in wardrobes and a large en-suite shower room, which could be reconfigured to include a walk-in wardrobe if preferred. Across the hall are two further double bedrooms, both of which can also accommodate a king-size bed. The modern family bathroom comprises a wash hand basin with vanity storage, WC, freestanding bath and separate shower.

Externally, the property features a sizeable front driveway suitable for multiple vehicles.
