Set within attractive and mature grounds, this substantial detached home offers an excellent balance of well-proportioned accommodation and outdoor space, ideally suited to modern family living. The property was extended and comprehensively remodelled in 2011, with subsequent upgrades and enjoys a peaceful setting with beautifully maintained gardens, generous entertaining areas and a wonderful sense of privacy, all while remaining conveniently placed for nearby amenities and transport connections.

The property is entered via a spacious entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor and access to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space centred around a feature stone fireplace with inset stove, while the drawing room provides a more intimate reception area, ideal for entertaining or family living.
Particularly noteworthy is the dining room and adjoining garden room arrangement, creating an attractive open flow between the living accommodation and the outside space. The garden room enjoys a vaulted ceiling and glazed doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens, allowing for an abundance of natural light and pleasant views across the grounds throughout the year.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of handmade units by Orwells Kitchens, complemented by granite work surfaces and a central island, providing ample preparation and informal dining space, with a separate utility room positioned alongside. A useful cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

A second double bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms are both well-proportioned doubles, with built-in wardrobes and enjoying pleasant outlooks across the front of the property. These rooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a contemporary suite.
The house has been well-maintained with new flooring and en-suites added to the ground and first floors respectively in 2025/26
A fully floored and insulated attic space lies above the west wing, with power, lighting and two roof lights, accessed via a retractable loft staircase.
Outside, the property is complemented by beautifully maintained gardens which provide a wonderful sense of privacy and space. A broad paved terrace immediately adjoins the house, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying views across the garden.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees, established planting and well-stocked borders, giving colour and interest throughout the seasons.
