The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hallway, which provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation.

The generous floor area provides ample space for a range of furnishings and creates a comfortable and versatile reception space, particularly inviting in winter months with the 5kw Defra-approved stove installed in 2024.

Further along the hallway is a useful utility room, providing dedicated space for laundry and additional household storage. Beyond this is a well-proportioned second reception room, offering a versatile area that can accommodate a variety of uses according to the needs of the household. A useful downstairs WC is also conveniently positioned beneath the stairs.

The rear of the property is home to the spectacular kitchen and dining room, which forms the true centrepiece of the house. Completed in 2024, the kitchen extension benefits from underfloor heating and provides an impressive setting for modern family living. The kitchen features an impressive central island, a generous range of worktop space and a comprehensive selection of fitted units and concealed storage options. The room also provides excellent space for a large dining table and chairs, creating a superb setting for family meals, entertaining guests and everyday living.

A particularly attractive feature is the large rear window, which incorporates a useful seating area and allows an abundance of natural light into the room. The kitchen also benefits from a large glazed door opening directly onto the private rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor accommodation and making the space particularly well suited to entertaining.

The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering excellent proportions and benefiting from a large bay window which provides an attractive feature to the room. The principal bedroom is further complemented by in-built wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Two further double bedrooms are located on this floor, both providing generous accommodation and plenty of space for a range of bedroom furnishings. The floor is completed by a well-presented family bathroom, which features a bathtub with an overhead shower, wash hand basin and WC.

The top floor provides two further double bedrooms, creating an excellent level of bedroom accommodation rarely found within a home of this type. Both rooms offer useful proportions, with one bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom, fitted with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. A new bathroom was installed within the converted loft accommodation in 2025.

The property has benefited from a substantial programme of improvements, including a full rewire in 2021, the rebuilding of the rear elevation roof in 2022 and an extensive whole-house refurbishment in 2024, which included the refurbishment of all bathrooms. Further works completed in 2024 include the replacement of lead pipes and installation of a whole-house water filtration system. The property is served by an efficient modern Worcester Bosch boiler installed in 2022 and was last serviced in August 2026 (covered by a guarantee until 2032).

Externally, the property benefits from a beautifully landscaped private rear garden, with both the front and rear gardens having been landscaped in 2024. A tiled patio area immediately adjoins the rear of the property, providing an excellent space for outdoor seating and dining. Steps lead down to a further decked area, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, creating an attractive combination of different outdoor spaces for all generations to safely explore. The garden provides an excellent setting for entertaining, family time and relaxing throughout the warmer months, while its landscaped design gives the outdoor space a particularly appealing finish.

The property further benefits from permit parking.
