The impressive sitting and dining room is filled with natural light from a large double-glazed bay window to the front and benefits from direct access to the rear garden via glazed double doors. Rich in character, this versatile reception space features two original fireplaces, currently sealed but offering potential for reinstatement, subject to any necessary consents.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by tiled splashbacks, a freestanding cooker with extractor hood above and ample space for additional appliances. A thoughtfully converted understairs area provides a convenient ground-floor cloakroom/WC.
First Floor Accommodation

The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant rear aspect overlooking the garden and benefits from a private en-suite shower room, creating an excellent principal suite.
To the front of the house, a generous double bedroom provides attractive and spacious accommodation, while the remaining two bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, home working or study space.
The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
Annexe & Ancillary Accommodation

The self-contained annexe provides independent living accommodation, making it ideal for extended family members, guests, older children seeking greater independence or those looking to generate supplementary income.
