The entrance door opens into a vestibule, which in turn leads to a welcoming reception hall with a turning staircase rising to the first floor and doors to the principal rooms. The main reception room is bright and inviting, with windows to the side and rear elevations, together with casement doors opening onto the gardens. A marble fireplace with a wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point. The generously sized second reception room, currently used as a dining room, is also filled with natural light and benefits from a walk-in bay window and an additional side-aspect window. The L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room is particularly impressive, fitted with an extensive range of units, a matching breakfast bar and integrated appliances, with two glazed windows to the front aspect and casement doors to the rear garden. The ground floor is further served by a separate utility room and cloakroom suite.
On the first floor, the property offers a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a smart four-piece family bathroom suite together with a galleried landing.
Outside, the front of the property features a sweeping driveway providing access to the double garage, which has two up-and-over doors, a pitched roof with eaves storage, and light and power connected. The substantial rear and side gardens have been landscaped to a high standard and offer an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. They comprise a full-width paved patio, a formal lawn with well-stocked flower beds and a further raised terraced area.
