Abundant natural light pours through three windows, while timber beams overhead and a fireplace with a woodburning stove enhance its warmth and character.

The ground floor also has a second sitting room with slate tiled flooring leading into kitchen area and a south-facing window providing views across the rear garden.

Adjoining the second sitting room is the well-proportioned kitchen with its open-plan layout, space for a family dining table and French doors opening onto the sunny rear terrace.

The kitchen itself is fitted with shaker cupboards in white, integrated appliances including an oven, hob, wine cooler and fridge freezer as well as a gas Aga A staircase leads from the rear sitting room to the first-floor landing, off which there are three well-presented double bedrooms of similar proportions and one single.

Two of the bedrooms benefit from built-in storage. The first floor also has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower, with the ground floor offering a useful additional shower room.
