From here, a charming sitting room and separate study provide flexible living spaces, while a practical utility room offers direct access to the garden. The rear of the property is dedicated to the spectacular kitchen and dining area, perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts four generously proportioned bedrooms alongside a well-appointed family bathroom featuring both bath and separate shower facilities. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, a walk-in wardrobe, and a cleverly concealed en-suite bathroom that adds a unique and playful design element.

The gardens are a true highlight of the home, offering a private and beautifully maintained outdoor setting. Within the grounds sits a detached studio with light and power, currently arranged as a games room and gym, providing exceptional versatility for use as a home office, creative studio, or leisure space.
