Ground Floor
A smart entrance porch welcomes you into the heart of the home, where an impressive open-plan kitchen/living/dining space immediately sets the tone. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinets, complemented by tiled splashbacks, an integrated dishwasher, built-in oven and hob, alongside a traditional oil-fired Heritage Range Cooker creating a warm and characterful focal point. This sociable space flows seamlessly into the dining area and onwards to a bright conservatory enjoying delightful views over the garden, a perfect setting for year-round enjoyment.

The sitting room is generously proportioned with patio doors allowing natural light to pour in and providing direct access to the raised patio and garden, while a central fireplace houses a cosy wood-burning stove, creating a welcoming retreat during cooler months.

A secondary inner hallway leads to four bedrooms, providing a degree of separation from the living areas. Four comfortable double bedrooms, one benefitting from its own en-suite shower room. A contemporary family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms, finished with fully tiled walls, vanity storage and a curved glass enclosure.

Outside

Approached via a tree-lined gravel driveway, the property sits within a generous and private plot bordered by mature trees and established hedging, affording a high degree of seclusion. A spacious south-facing patio area adjoins the conservatory, enjoying sunshine throughout the day and creating a wonderful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden extends beautifully beyond, accessed directly from the conservatory through double glazed doors, establishing a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. Bathed in sunlight for much of the day, the south-facing garden enjoys a bright and inviting atmosphere and is predominantly laid to level lawn, complemented by thoughtfully landscaped seating areas ideal for both relaxation and social gatherings.

A gravelled courtyard provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles. The double garage, with twin doors (one electrically operated), offers secure parking or workshop potential, while a timber outbuilding provides additional practical storage.
