The entrance hall is particularly inviting with a bespoke door and antique stained-glass panel, with exposed beams to the walls and the partly vaulted ceiling, and the rooms are accessed via appealing ledge and board doors. The two generously proportioned principal reception rooms are of a semi-open plan nature, with attractive open stud work separating the dining and sitting room. There is an attractive red brick open fireplace with an oak lintel above which forms a focal point, and French doors access the courtyard making it ideal for entertaining. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and provides a more formal entertaining area.

The kitchen is extensively and recently re-fitted with a range of shaker style floor and wall mounted units with tiled splash backs, timber counter tops and inset enamel style sink and mixer tap. Neff induction hob with canopy extractor hood over, Neff double oven/grill, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. The ceiling is vaulted with a large 'Velux' window providing plenty of natural light. Adjacent to this is a practical utility room with plumbing for a washing machine.

The principal bedroom is of a generous size, and has a part vaulted ceiling with downlighting, a large window overlooking the garden, and there is a door to a well-appointed en-suite which has a matching white suite. There are two further double bedrooms, both of which have vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, with bedroom three having a large 'Velux' window. These two bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom which has recently been re-fitted and comprises a large bath with mixer tap and shower head/hose, low level WC., hand wash basin with quartz effect vanity top and cups below in sage green, and a 'Velux' window.

The property is approached via a drive which provides parking, and in turn gives access to a workshop on the left hand side and the double garage, with electric remote doors, power and light, and a personal door to the side. There is an attractive curved mellow red brick wall, which provides access to the garden via a bespoke handmade solid hardwood door with an arched top, which is equipped with a security lock.

The gardens are partly walled, and of a split-level nature and provide total privacy, and benefit from the afternoon and late evening sunshine. There is an extensive terrace which is perfect for large scale entertaining which leads to an attractive raised area of lawn. This is flanked by a variety of herbaceous borders with shrubs and perennials which have brick edging, and provide year-round interest and colour. A number of evergreen shrubs to the rear also provide structure and colour.
