The space is fitted with high-quality walnut cabinetry and premium integrated appliances, with ample room for dining.

The family room is open plan to the kitchen/dining area and is accessed via a short set of steps. It features a stunning, double-height vaulted ceiling, solid oak flooring, and a Jotul wood-burning stove set within a fireplace, while enjoying views over the front garden.

Also accessed from the entrance hall is the lounge, which overlooks the front garden through large windows fitted with shutters. Its fireplace incorporates a Stuv inset with a retractable glass screen and hot air convection system.

Completing the ground floor is a utility room, cloakroom WC, and a study which could equally serve as a formal dining room or an additional bedroom.

There are three additional double bedrooms on this level, one of which enjoys its own en-suite bathroom with both a bath and shower. The family bathroom is similarly well appointed, offering a bath and a separate shower.

Apartment:

Positioned above the quadruple garage is an excellent self-contained apartment, providing versatile additional accommodation. It offers ideal space for visiting family and guests or could serve equally well as a home office. The separate apartment is currently used for short-term holiday let and could continue to offer this potential, subject to any necessary permissions or consents.

The accommodation includes a shower room on the ground floor, while the first floor comprises a bedroom together with an open-plan kitchen and sitting area. The kitchen is fitted with a fridge, oven and hob, and plumbing for a washing machine is installed on the ground floor.

The garden is fully enclosed and provides excellent space for outdoor entertaining. Indian sandstone paving surrounds the house, creating a terrace ideal for entertaining. To the front of the property is a lawned garden, along with a timber decked seating area finished with a glass balustrade.

Behind the garage there is a practical covered area, set beneath a lean-to, providing useful storage for bins and firewood. The exterior of the house also benefits from external lighting and five double outdoor power points.

Services:

Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. The house and the garage apartment are served by separate Worcester Bosch mains gas-fired boilers, both installed in 2018.
