The layout lends itself perfectly to everyday family life, while also providing an inviting setting when entertaining.

Further along the ground floor is an additional reception room, providing a highly versatile space which could be adapted to suit a variety of needs. Whether used as a family room, snug, playroom, home office or additional entertaining space, it offers valuable flexibility and allows the house to work around the lifestyle of its new owners.

A shower room completes the ground floor, providing useful facilities for both residents and guests.

Underfloor heating is also provided in the living room and upstairs bathroom, offering warmth and comfort throughout the home.

From the entrance hall, the staircase rises to the first floor, where three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around the landing, together with the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering excellent space for a large bed and additional furniture. The second bedroom is also well proportioned and is currently being used as a dressing room, while the third bedroom provides another comfortable room, currently arranged as an office, with scope to be used according to individual requirements.

The family bathroom is conveniently positioned from the landing and completes the first-floor accommodation.

Stepping outside, the property benefits from a charming rear garden, providing a wonderful complement to the generous accommodation within. With its established greenery and mature trees, the garden creates a pleasant and private setting in which to enjoy the outdoors. A patio area provides an excellent spot for al fresco dining and entertaining, while the garden beyond offers a peaceful space to relax and unwind.

At the far end of the garden is a private driveway, providing valuable off-street parking and a particularly useful feature for a property of this nature. There is also scope, subject to any necessary consents, for a future owner to consider increasing the parking provision should they wish to make greater use of the driveway area. This gives the property an added degree of flexibility and presents an opportunity to adapt the outside space to suit individual requirements.

The property offers an impressive amount of accommodation across two floors. The combination of substantial reception rooms, a sociable kitchen/dining space, three well-sized bedrooms, a delightful garden and private parking make this a wonderfully versatile home.

There is a lovely sense of flow throughout, with the generous proportions providing plenty of scope for modern family living while retaining the warmth and charm expected of a much-loved home.
