Beautifully maintained by the current owners, the home retains many period features including original tiled flooring, fireplaces, timber floorboards and decorative detailing.
The accommodation begins with an enclosed entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway, which in turn opens to two spacious reception rooms, creating excellent areas for both everyday living and entertaining.
Beyond, the kitchen is fitted with wooden work surfaces, a Stoves cooker and integrated dishwasher, complemented by a useful utility room, ground floor shower room and an additional reception room overlooking the garden.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with its own en suite, together with a family bathroom.

Beneath the property, a useful cellar provides valuable storage with power and lighting.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a paved seating terrace, generous lawn and raised gravel seating area, creating an attractive and private outdoor space.
