Leading from the kitchen is a separate utility room, offering additional storage, housing the Megaflow water cylinder, and providing space and plumbing for further white goods.

Additional ground floor accommodation includes a well-proportioned snug, enjoying an outlook over the front driveway - ideal as a secondary reception room or home office.

From the hallway, an attractive turned staircase rises to a spacious galleried landing, featuring classic panelled balustrades and Crittall-style leaded windows, which bathe the space in natural light.

The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms, all providing ample space for furniture and storage. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining rooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, featuring a sleek tiled bath with a frameless glass screen and rainfall shower, complemented by a floating dark wood vanity unit and ceramic basin. All bathrooms benefit from rainfall showers plus handheld shower attachments.

A true highlight of the home is the light-filled principal suite, boasting a charming bay window with views over the garden.
