The Property.
Ground Floor: An entrance vestibule with tessellated tiling leads to the hallway and reception rooms mainly fitted with broad oak floorboards. The large sitting room features a splayed bay sash window, attractive period fireplace and ornate ceiling architraving. The living room is similarly generous with an imposing painted slate fireplace and built-in alcove dressers.
The TV room could double as a fourth bedroom and features built-in soundproofing making it ideal for media use. Finally, a slim study-room is situated to the front.


Lower ground floor: From the hallway, stairs lead down to generous garden-level accommodation. Here, there is a fantastic 8-metre-wide kitchen-dining room spanning the full width of the house. This wonderful space could easily accommodate sofas and dining table, making it an ideal hub for the house. It is fitted with polished porcelain floor tiles and granite worktops as well as stylish contemporary kitchen cabinets and French doors to the garden. There is a gas-range hob built into the island as well as an integral dishwasher and three ovens.
There is excellent ancillary space on this level, which includes a traditional larder off the kitchen, downstairs cloakroom, utility room and climate-controlled cellarage, currently used for wine storage.

First Floor: Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, bathroom and ensuite shower-room. All the bedrooms feature further high-quality oak-flooring. Bedroom 1 enjoys an additional splayed bay sash window and has the particular benefit of a large walk-in wardrobe with plentiful storage, as well as a spacious shower room featuring two basins, large shower cubicle and WC. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned double, whilst bedroom 3 is also a double to the rear. Bedrooms 2 and 3 also feature attractive period fireplaces. Finally, the bathroom benefits from a panelled bath, discreet shower cubicle, basin, and WC. There are handy store cupboards at the end of both the hallway and 1st floor landing.

Outside: There is a rarely available westerly facing walled rear garden with large patio and lawn which is predominantly level. To the rear of the garden, steps lead up to a wonderful annexe-style double bedroom and ensuite shower-room, ideal for guests or office use. Beneath this, the superb double garage, set off a large driveway area (with space for a further 2 vehicles) is accessed via the side lane, and features two electric doors, power, light, and shelving.
To the front there is a paved and chipped garden with shrubbery and path to the front door.
