There are three distinct living and entertaining areas accessed via the reception hall, including the formal drawing room at the front, which has a bay window and an attractive cast-iron fireplace with tiled and wooden surround.

The 20ft sitting room provides further space in which to relax as a family, with its skylights and similarly impressive cast-iron fireplace, while an open squared archway connects to the open-plan dining area and kitchen at the rear. The dining area has west-facing bi-folds across the back wall of the house, creating a connection to the garden, while the kitchen is fitted with sleek units in cream, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances by Miele, including dual ovens, a microwave and an induction hob with a recessed extractor fan. The utility room offers further useful space for home storage and appliances.

Beyond the patio there is a well-maintained area of lawn with well-stocked border beds, filled with various shrubs and hedgerows.
