There is versatile accommodation arranged over two floors as well as a triple oak framed garage with studio/office above. There is an attractive gated entrance onto a brick paved driveway, providing parking for a number of vehicles with delightful landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately 0.5 acres which includes a number of magnificent trees and large expanses of lawn.

The sitting room centres upon an ornate surround fireplace, picture window with seat overlooking the gardens, double glazed double doors opening through to the conservatory with a tiled floor and bi-folding doors open out to the garden. There is an open fireplace with carved stone surround, oak panelling with a range of fitted cupboards and a window overlooking the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderful room and is fitted with a range of painted shaker style wall and base units with a good range of integrated appliances, including a fridge and freezer, dishwasher, Neff oven, granite work surfaces, range cooker with extractor hood over, one and a half bowl sink unit, breakfast bar and double aspect windows with stunning views and double doors opening out to the side patio.
