When it's time to retire upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms that each tell their own story. The primary bedroom, with its fitted storage, is a serene escape, perfect for restful nights and lazy Sunday mornings.

The third bedroom, though smaller, offers versatility as an inspiring office space, where work-from-home days are met with views that beat any office cubicle.

The ground floor’s second reception room is a gem, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Open the doors to the garden and let the fresh air and birdsong flood in.

The lawn, bordered by vibrant flowers and shrubs, offers a space for everything from summer picnics to games of catch. Wander down the garden path to discover a secluded seating area—a perfect spot for soaking up the serene surroundings with a cup of tea or a good book.
