The beautifully appointed kitchen enjoys an impressive outlook and has been designed in a tasteful, neutral palette, with high-quality base and wall-mounted cabinetry complemented by a range of integrated appliances. The result is a stylish and practical space that sits seamlessly within the character of the home.

A versatile third double bedroom, which could equally serve as an elegant home office or study, benefits from recently installed fully fitted Sharps wardrobes, providing excellent storage. The sophisticated shower room is finished with a white two-piece suite, heated towel rail and separate walk-in shower, while beautiful original stained-glass detailing provides a particularly charming reminder of the property's heritage.

The upper floor is accessed via a charming landing, where fabulous exposed wooden beams further enhance the sense of period character. Two generous double bedrooms are positioned at this level, both benefiting from integrated wardrobes, while the second bedroom enjoys truly breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding landscape.

A beautifully presented tiled bathroom incorporates a white three-piece suite together with a separate walk-in shower. Both upper bedrooms provide access to the substantial floored and insulated attic space, offering an exceptional level of additional storage and further enhancing the versatility of the accommodation.

Throughout the property, considerable attention has been given to preserving and complementing its original character. Features include high-quality wooden double-glazed sash and case windows, natural timber doors and skirtings, gas central heating, quality floor coverings, elegant brass fittings, switches and sockets, and a carefully selected decorative palette.
