The ground floor also comprises a well-appointed family bathroom, a substantial principal bedroom positioned to the rear of the property with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room and a further double bedroom currently utilised as a snug/study. To the first floor are two additional double bedrooms providing ample accommodation for family and guests alike.

Outside the west-facing rear garden offers a good level of privacy and an excellent setting for outdoor enjoyment. A delightful timber pergola with a glazed roof creates the perfect space for al fresco dining, while a detached log cabin provides a peaceful retreat, home office or hobby room.
