A grand entrance hall with a split staircase rises to a galleried landing, creating a striking first impression.
The sitting room is well proportioned and dual aspect, centred around an open fireplace, and flows through to a substantial garden room where the far reaching views can be fully appreciated.
The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned to the front and fitted with a range of units, while the dining room sits opposite, overlooking the rear garden.
In this room, bi-fold or French doors could be added to enhance the connection to the terrace and gardens beyond.

Upstairs, the principal suite includes a dressing room and en-suite shower room.
There are three further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom with both bath and shower, along with a separate WC.

Extensive loft area for storage or potential conversion.
Outside: The grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres and include expansive lawns, a paved terrace ideal for entertaining, and a variety of mature trees.
