Offering approximately 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, the property combines generous and well balanced living space with a wealth of character features, attractive walled gardens, ample private parking and a substantial detached barn with excellent scope for further use, subject to the necessary consents.

From here, a door leads into the impressive 'L' shaped sitting room, which enjoys a triple aspect and excellent natural light, with casement windows to the front, side and rear, together with French doors opening onto the walled gardens. A brick fireplace with inset grill, terracotta tiled hearth and mantle provides an attractive focal point.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly notable feature of the house, fitted with a handmade Churchill Brothers kitchen comprising oak-lined, soft-close base units, a ceramic sink, integrated Bosch dishwasher, waste and recycling unit, space for a wine cooler, fridge/freezer and a four-door, three-oven electric Everhot stove. The room enjoys a dual aspect, pantry storage with oak-lined shelving, built-in seating with storage beneath and direct access to the garden. Further ground floor accommodation includes a generously proportioned study, ideal for home working, and a cloakroom with WC, wash hand basin and space and plumbing for laundry appliances.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to four bedrooms, the family bathroom, full-height eaves storage and a loft hatch, with potential for conversion subject to planning. The principal bedroom is a generous suite with front and side windows, eaves storage, fitted wardrobe space, a dressing room and a recently re-fitted en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms all benefit from fitted wardrobe provision, with bedroom two enjoying views across the walled gardens. There is a modern family bathroom.

Outside, the property is set behind an attractive rendered exterior with pargetting beneath a clay tiled roofline. A driveway provides off-street parking for approximately three vehicles, with gated access via a five-bar gate. The walled gardens are one of the home's most memorable features, enjoying a favourable south/westerly aspect with a terrace, expanse of lawn, established border planting, raised beds, greenhouse and a particularly striking crinkle crankle wall to the rear.
