A welcoming reception hall sets the tone, with double doors opening directly onto the private courtyard garden, allowing natural light to flood the space. A useful understairs storage cupboard and a ground-floor cloakroom enhance the practicality of the home. To the rear, the stylish kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the property, offering an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining. Dual-aspect windows create a wonderfully bright atmosphere, complemented by wood flooring.

The first floor is home to an exceptional triple-aspect sitting room extending across the full width of the house. Bathed in natural light, this stunning reception room centres around a marble fireplace with a living flame gas fire, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Also on this floor is the spacious principal bedroom, complete with a built-in wardrobe and a contemporary en-suite shower room featuring a large walk-in shower, pedestal wash-hand basin and WC.
