The ground floor is further complemented by a study/bedroom positioned near the front of the house, a stylish shower room, a well-appointed utility room, and a useful store room.

The impressive principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room, a beautifully fitted en-suite shower room, and a Juliette balcony overlooking the gardens.

A further generous bathroom serves the second bedroom.

The gardens are a particularly attractive feature, having been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a large natural stone terrace, expansive lawns, mature planting, a pond and an allotment area beyond the hedging.

To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles and access to the integral double garage.
