Bespoke shelving and cabinetry with oak worktops have been fitted in the alcoves either side providing excellent storage.

Double oak doors lead into the kitchen dining room which has been knocked through to provide a lovely, sociable open plan space with direct garden access via French doors.

A large picture window ensures abundant natural light and the room provides a generous space for home working.

Next door, the owners have transformed the garage into a large, dry storage space with its own access and a charming porthole window.

The solar controls, 9.5 kWh battery, and a free-standing Miele freezer (subject to negotiation) are stored here and there is abundant storage for large items.

To the rear, a covered courtyard area provides useful further storage. A woollen carpeted staircase with timber handrails and spindles leads up to the first-floor landing.

Bedrooms one and two overlook the front elevation, whilst three and four as well as the family bathroom overlook the garden.

The principal suite is very well proportioned with a charming bay and triple integrated wardrobes providing ample storage.

The en suite has been fitted this year (2026) and is fully tiled with a double walk-in rain shower, fitted toiletry cupboard, wall mounted sink with mirror, premium Duravit WC and underfloor heating.

Bedrooms two and three are both decent doubles with integrated wardrobes whilst bedroom four is also a double albeit without fitted storage.

Adjacent is a useful laundry cupboard. A hatch off the landing provides access to a substantial, fully insulated loft space with exposed beams and a new Velux window providing views over the garden.

The boiler is located here as well as a CAT 7 server providing super-fast broadband.

The space is highly versatile with excellent head height and would work well as a home office, gym or as conversion to a master suite (subject to the necessary consents).

Externally, the gardens are southwest facing, private and secure with high brick walling and fencing providing exceptional privacy and security for dogs or children playing.

The lawn is level and bordered by flowerbeds of rose, peony, rosemary and a charming clematis adorned garden bench.
