The Property - The property is principally accessed via a dedicated entrance door positioned to the north of the building, this entering into a stairwell which rises to a first floor landing with recessed storage cupboards, from where a door open immediately to the left into a generously proportioned Living/Dining lit by triple-aspect windows and providing ample space for furnishings.
Turning right along the Hallway, access is provided into two comfortably sized Bedrooms, with Bedroom two enjoying a secluded reading nook and the Master benefitting from dual-aspect windows which overlook the gardens.
The Hallway culminates at a versatile Office/Bedroom Three which is served, along with the other two Bedrooms, by a well appointed Family bathroom featuring a P-shaped bath, low-flush WC, and pedestal hand basin.
