Upstairs, the home continues to impress with seven generously proportioned bedrooms, offering remarkable flexibility for growing families, guests, or working from home. The principal suite enjoys garden views and a sleek en-suite shower room, while other rooms are thoughtfully arranged as an office, dressing room, and hobby space.

Outside, the grounds are just as captivating. Mature trees border the front of the property, offering privacy and tranquillity, while a sweeping driveway leads to ample parking and a detached double garage complete with EV charging point. A secluded courtyard provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer entertaining.
Recent improvements include a new oil-fired central heating system, updated electrics, and sympathetic replacement of windows and doors—ensuring peace of mind without compromising the home’s character.
