Description
A bright entrance hall provides the welcome to this detached home, featuring a convenient cloakroom with coat cupboard. The spacious sitting room features a Jetmaster open fire, and has a lovely outlook over the gardens with a door opening out onto a sheltered rear porch. Off the sitting room is a versatile, dual-aspect garden/playroom, with vaulted ceilings and skylights providing an abundance of natural light and direct access to the side and rear gardens. Also off the entrance hall, the dining room includes a bay window and elegant features such as picture-rails and coving.
The heart of the ground floor is the kitchen and family room. The kitchen has been fitted with an extensive range of units, a gas-fired Aga and enjoys views over the garden. The adjoining family room has French doors to the side, and also an external door to the front. A practical utility room completes the ground floor.
The first floor accommodates four generous bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite featuring dual-aspect windows, water views, built-in storage, and a private en-suite shower room.

Occupying the top floor is an attic space spanning the entire length of the home, complete with Velux skylights capturing elevated estuary vistas, built-in storage, and a fitted office area.
Outside, the gated drive offers parking for at least eight cars. A garden to the side with two decked seating areas and outside storage and to the rear a crazy paved patio with level lawn, with bay fenced borders on two sides a and a hedge on the third.
