Bathed in natural light, the triple-aspect sitting room features sliding patio doors to the rear, providing picturesque views of the lush surroundings.

Completing the downstairs accommodation is a well-appointed study facing the rear garden, ideal for those who work from home.

Rising to the first floor via an oak turning staircase, an impressive window midway is perfectly positioned to allow natural light to flood in, enhancing the already spacious feel. The L-shaped landing leads to 5 generously proportioned bedrooms designed for comfort and tranquillity, offering ample space for relaxation.

The loft space is fully boarded and divided into two separate areas and would lend itself to conversion into additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.
