An open archway has steps down to the formal dining room with its wooden flooring and double doors leading to the sunny, south-facing garden room. At the rear, the generous and elegant sitting room offers further space in which to relax, with its impressive open fireplace and French doors opening to the garden. The ground floor also has a spacious rear hallway for storage and cloaks, as well as a utility area for further home appliances, a well proportioned W/C and a plant room.

Outside

At the front of the property there is a beautifully maintained garden with clipped border hedgerows and a gated entrance, leading to a paved pathway and terrace with various planted shrubs and flowering perennials. A five-bar wooden gate at the side provides access for vehicles and plenty of parking and turning space, as well as leading to the large detached outbuilding, with its parking, storage and workshop space. This building offers plenty of scope and flexibility for alternative uses and pre-application advice has been obtained, indicating support for conversion to ancillary accommodation, such as an annexe, studio or games room.

The gardens surrounding the house have beautiful lawns and wildflower meadow areas, border beds with colourful flowering perennials and a wealth of mature specimen trees including walnut, apple, plum and flowering cherry. There are also patio areas for al fresco dining, and established hedgerows to the borders, with open fields beyond.
