To the opposite side of the hall is the open plan kitchen and family room, fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, base and drawer units with granite work surfaces over and integrated appliances including a double oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. A breakfast bar extends from the work surface and there is ample space for a dining table, with patio doors opening onto the rear deck. A door leads through to the utility room which houses the oil fired boiler and provides space and plumbing for appliances, along with a stable door to the garden. Additional ground floor rooms include a snug with dual aspect windows and a separate study overlooking the rear garden.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to four double bedrooms and the family bathroom, together with an airing cupboard.

A large timber deck extends from the rear elevation, providing an ideal space for outdoor seating and dining, with steps leading down to the lawn.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
