Description
The property offers exceptionally well-proportioned and immaculately presented accommodation extending to approximately 2,562 sqft, arranged over two floors with a highly practical and versatile internal layout.

Adjoining this is a separate utility room providing additional storage and laundry facilities.
The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive. The substantial sitting room is a beautifully proportioned dual aspect room featuring quality hardwood flooring, a striking exposed brick fireplace with substantial timber mantle and French doors opening to the exterior, allowing for excellent natural light throughout. Separate family and sitting rooms provide further reception accommodation.
The first floor provides four generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, comprising a spacious double bedroom served by a dedicated dressing room and two en suite bath and shower rooms. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an attractive family bathroom, all arranged around a spacious central landing.
GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS
The property occupies a plot of approximately 0.32 acres, with beautifully maintained grounds wrapping the house and enjoying a southwest facing aspect to the rear.
The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by established planting and mature hedging which provide privacy and create an attractive setting for the house. A particular highlight is the heated outdoor swimming pool, complemented by a dedicated pool house providing convenient changing facilities.
ANNEX
The outdoor space extends seamlessly around to the detached triple garage block. One bay is retained as garaging, while the remaining accommodation has been cleverly converted to create a versatile self-contained annex. The ground floor comprises a fitted kitchen and double bedroom, with the first floor arranged as a substantial living room, offering excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, independent occupation or home working requirements.
To the front, a private driveway provides extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to the garaging.
