The ground-floor accommodation is further complemented by a cloakroom fitted with a close-coupled WC and wash hand basin together with a window to the front elevation.

Stairs rise to a spacious first-floor landing, with a window overlooking the rear garden and access to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous in scale, enjoying a window to the front elevation together with the notable benefits of a separate dressing room and a well-proportioned en-suite shower room.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, close-coupled WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, the property is approached over a double-width driveway providing ample off-street parking. The remainder of the frontage is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed in part by established laurel hedging, creating an attractive approach.

The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, offering a private and secluded outdoor environment. An extensive patio provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, beyond which the garden is principally laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and established shrubbery. The oil storage tank is discreetly positioned within one corner of the garden.
