Offering approximately 2,688 sq ft of flexible accommodation, the house unfolds at an easy, unforced pace. A side entrance hall sets the tone, leading into a wonderfully versatile games room. With its traditional fireplace and front-facing bay window, this is a space that could just as easily become a cosy snug, a focused home office, or an atmospheric entertaining room, proof of the home’s adaptability.

The kitchen is practical and welcoming, fitted with cabinetry, a range oven and space for appliances, while an arched opening leads through to a utility room. A breakfast bar creates a natural spot for morning coffee or informal meals, keeping the kitchen very much at the heart of daily life.

The main living room is a standout. Expansive yet warm, it benefits from a high ceiling punctuated by three large skylights that flood the room with natural light throughout the day. French doors with full-length windows connect seamlessly to the garden, while a striking brick fireplace with an inset wood burner anchors the space, making it equally inviting in summer or winter.

Across both floors are four double bedrooms, offering flexibility for family life, guests or working from home. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe, with clear potential to create an en-suite if preferred (stpp). A ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom, both fitted with modern suites, ensure the house works comfortably for everyday living.

A generously sized boiler room adds further practicality and could easily double as a laundry or storage space.

The garden is private and full of possibility. A sweeping lawn, mature trees and a patio/shingle seating area create a setting that feels calm and unforced, ideal for quiet afternoons, family gatherings or simply enjoying the changing seasons. A private driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

Outside, two large adjoined double garages with vaulted ceilings and a large window open up a world of opportunity, whether you’re dreaming of additional accommodation, a workshop, studio space or simply somewhere to house vehicles and hobbies (stpp).

This is a substantial home in a convenient setting, offering space, character and a rare degree of flexibility. A property ready to adapt, evolve and quietly support whatever comes next.
