Herringbone flooring with brass trim complements fully panelled walls and an opulent bespoke Cotswold stone fireplace, while dual-aspect southwesterly windows and French doors flood the space with afternoon light.

The patio flows seamlessly from the drawing room, creating an idyllic setting for indoor-outdoor living - perfect for summer al fresco dining or intimate evenings beneath feature Pooky Mousehole lighting. Illuminated oak sleeper steps ascend to a mood-lit elevated terrace, elegantly finished with composite decking and framed by a sleek chrome-and-glass balustrade. Both spaces are conveniently accessed from the side of the property.

The first floor offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each finished with high-grade pile carpets.
