From the driveway, a paved path leads up to the front entrance. The front door opens into a bright reception hall, enhanced by full-height windows offering views of the front garden. A staircase rises to the first floor, and there is access to a guest WC complete with a shower. The property benefits from underfloor heating to the ground floor living accommodation.

Double doors open into the living room, a generously sized space with full-height windows and doors leading out to the front garden. Adjoining the living room is an additional interior room, currently used for storage, but offering versatile potential for various uses.
Leading through, you enter the open-plan dining kitchen, fitted with matching base and wall cabinets, granite worktops, and an inset sink. There is provision for a range of appliances. Once again, full-height windows and French doors open out to the front garden, allowing for open views and plenty of natural light.

A back door opens to the rear courtyard, which enjoys a patio terrace with access to the adjoining boiler room, housing the air source heat pump and hot water system. There is a further reception room currently used as a home office, offering flexibility for remote working or additional living space.

The principal bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling, a large walk-in wardrobe, an additional built-in wardrobe, and an en-suite shower room fitted with a WC, wash hand basin, and shower. A window enjoys far-reaching views across the front aspect. The two further double bedrooms have been creatively designed, both offering attractive views to the front. Each has been fitted with stairs rising to a mezzanine-level sleeping/play area.
