A playroom/fifth bedroom adds further versatility, ideal for growing families or those requiring guest accommodation. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

To the first floor, the sense of space continues. The principal suite is a standout feature, beautifully proportioned and enhanced by exposed oak framework, creating both character and warmth.

A hot tub further enhances the lifestyle offering, making this a home equally suited to relaxing and socialising.

Beyond the terrace, the gardens open out to lawned areas, established planting, and a variety of lifestyle features including a vegetable garden, chicken run, and dedicated children’s play space, all enjoying a high degree of privacy.
