On the ground floor there is a lovely dining kitchen with views over the south facing garden, two lounges, conservatory, pantry and an impressive staircase leading to the first floor where there are 4 double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. Sitting to the side of the main home and accessed both independently and internally, there is an additional kitchen, lounge, shower room and a large bedroom, ideal for those looking for an annexe for multi-generational families, income potential or simply as an extension to the main home.
