The ground floor offers flexible accommodation centred around an open-plan living and dining space.

Large windows provide views over the garden, while bi-fold doors open directly to the rear, creating a strong connection between inside and out.

The upstairs bathroom is presented to a luxury standard.

Outside, the property sits in an idyllic setting described as a “chocolate box cottage” with two distinct garden areas offering varied spaces for relaxing and outdoor dining.

Side-by-side parking is provided to the front.

An outdoor insulated studio, currently used as a gym, offers further flexibility as a home office or playroom and includes a separate store room, complementing the storage available within the house.
