Configured to provide an elegant family and entertaining space featuring neutral décor and quality fixtures and fittings throughout, the accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with exposed wooden flooring, useful storage and a cloakroom. It leads to a spacious dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and bi-fold doors to a large triple aspect oak-framed garden room with a part-vaulted ceiling, a feature exposed brick wall, wooden flooring and large picture glazing incorporating bi-fold doors to the rear terrace.

The generous kitchen/breakfast room has a range of wall and base units including a breakfast bar, complementary work surfaces and splashbacks, modern integrated appliances and a walk-in larder, while the wooden-floored breakfast area has space for a good-sized table and bi-fold doors to the garden room. There is a walk-in boot room located opposite to the larder. A useful inter-connecting fitted utility room with a door to the side aspect completes the ground floor facilities.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to a generous first floor landing, giving access to a triple aspect principal bedroom with fitted storage and two further rear aspect double bedrooms, one also benefitting from fitted storage, together with a modern family bathroom and a separate family shower room. A separate staircase rises to the second floor, which houses the property’s remaining 25 ft vaulted bonus room that has flexibility for numerous uses, but currently operates as a 4th bedroom.
