SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION An individual detached home, understood to date from the 1930s and built in the traditional manner, this property has been thoughtfully renovated and extended to create a beautifully presented and highly versatile living space.

Underfloor heating runs throughout this part of the home, enhancing comfort and practicality.
The ground floor also offers a welcoming sitting room with a wood-burning stove and solid oak flooring, along with a study/playroom (or fourth bedroom), a modern shower room, utility room, and a well-appointed pantry/prep kitchen fitted with matching bespoke cabinetry—perfect for additional storage and food preparation.
The utility room provides space for white goods and direct access to the garden.
