The property is entered via a central hallway where exposed beams and traditional detailing immediately set the tone. From here, doors lead to the principal ground floor rooms, all of which offer a strong sense of space and practicality. The sitting room is a comfortable and well proportioned space, complemented by character features, and flows through to a versatile snug area which can also serve as a dining room or study. This space connects seamlessly to the conservatory, which overlooks the garden and provides an additional reception area filled with natural light.

The kitchen is fitted with solid wood units, granite work surfaces and a natural slate floor, offering both durability and a classic finish. There is ample storage along with integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge, as well as a modern electric range cooker. Beyond the kitchen, a good sized utility room provides further storage, space for appliances and access to the outside, along with a ground floor WC. An additional ground floor room offers further flexibility and is currently used as a dining room, although it could also function as a study or fifth bedroom if required.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from a dressing room with built in storage and an ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are light, airy and well proportioned and are served by a modern family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a mature and private setting, with a fully enclosed garden that offers a strong sense of seclusion. The south facing garden sits, in the main, to the side of the property and is well established, featuring lawned areas, borders well stocked with plants and a brick paved patio that extends from the rear of the house. A permanent oak framed gazebo provides an attractive and ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, a gated arch bedecked with roses leads to a small orchard with a variety of fruit trees, along with a garden shed (with light and electrics) and summerhouse.

To the front, a large gravel driveway provides off road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached insulated large garage with an electric door and rear pedestrian access.
