The attractive whitewashed house was built in approximately 1915 and has many original elements, including wood floors, cast-iron fireplaces and picture rails. To the rear, a fabulous modern extension adds a dash of contemporary flair and lets in excellent natural light. The extension serves as a great space for entertaining, comprising a stunning kitchen with two islands and a beautifully lit dining area overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen is well appointed with premium Miele appliances, and there is ample storage and worktop space for keen home cooks. Separate to the main open plan living space there are three additional reception rooms, including an inviting snug, a music room and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and bay window. The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors: to the back of the house there is a generous principal bedroom with en suite shower room, while the three remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom. There is also a separate study. There is a fifth double bedroom on the second floor – also en suite; both of the rear bedrooms have southwest-facing Juliet balconies.

The rear garden is southwest facing and is well enclosed by mature trees and hedges giving a private feel. It is currently lawned with a paved terrace adjoining the house.
