Centrally within the house lies a superb open-plan sitting room, a wonderfully light-filled space enhanced by full-height glazing and double doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and gardens beyond. A feature fireplace with inset LPG fire creates an elegant focal point, while an open connection to the dining room ensures excellent flow for everyday living and entertaining.

The dining room enjoys attractive Indian stone flooring and further double doors to the garden. The adjoining kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke wall and base units beneath granite work surfaces. A substantial central island provides additional preparation and informal dining space, complemented by a Rangemaster double oven and provision for an American-style fridge freezer.
Supporting the kitchen is a practical utility room with stable door access to the rear and adjoining boiler room with separate cloakroom. A dedicated study offers an ideal place to work from home, complete with exposed oak beams and delightful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

The first floor is arranged around a spacious landing where large windows continue to maximise the property's outstanding outlook. There are five well-proportioned double bedrooms, including two with en suite facilities.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, vanity wash basin and WC.
