The landscaped rear garden offers a variety of seating areas along with a summer house, providing an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. Two utility rooms add further practicality, one of which is currently arranged as a dog grooming room, alongside a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, a charming landing with an arched window leads to five double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, two bedrooms enjoy en-suite facilities, and there is also a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.

In addition, the first-floor apartment/annexe comprises a kitchen/living room, two bedrooms and a shower room. The ground-floor annexe provides a kitchen/living room, one bedroom and en-suite, offering excellent flexibility for extended family or independent living.

Further benefits include a double garage and ample off-street parking, completing this substantial and adaptable home in a particularly desirable Benson setting.
