A cosy log burner forms a striking focal point, adding both warmth and atmosphere, while the sleek, modern kitchen is finished to a high standard with quality fittings and ample workspace. Throughout the room, characterful features have been carefully preserved and enhanced, giving the space a unique sense of personality and depth.

From this main living area, a staircase leads up to a highly practical utility and boot room.

This top-floor suite feels particularly special, enhanced by a striking skylight feature that opens to form a unique roof balcony. From here, there are far-reaching and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, providing a peaceful and private retreat above the main home.

To the rear of the property, the home enjoys a highly desirable position directly bordering a local park. With direct access, the current owners are able to make full use of this attractive green space, significantly enhancing the sense of openness, privacy and outdoor lifestyle on offer.
