Beyond the kitchen, the dining area opens out into a generous space that comfortably accommodates a large dining table – perfect for family meals, celebrations and entertaining. Neutral walls keep the room light and airy, while feature stone wallpaper adds a touch of interest and personality.
From here, step into the conservatory, extending the living accommodation further still. With its pitched roof and windows on all sides, this is a wonderfully bright space that offers excellent potential to be opened further into the main house. Currently arranged with large sofas and relaxed seating, it’s an ideal spot to unwind, with doors leading straight out into the garden.
Returning to the hallway, the staircase leads up to the first floor, which spans both the original house and the later extension, creating a varied and flexible layout ideal for growing families.
The principal bedroom sits at the front of the property and offers a calm and generous retreat. Karndean flooring runs underfoot, with ample space for a double bed, wardrobes and a dressing table. Sliding fitted wardrobes are already in place, while feather-patterned feature wallpaper adds subtle character. The en-suite bathroom completes the suite, featuring a contemporary freestanding bath, WC and hand basin, finished with white tiling and softened by natural light from a glazed window.
Bedroom four, also positioned to the front, is the first of three further double bedrooms. With laminate flooring, neutral décor and a large window overlooking the driveway, it’s a bright and adaptable space suitable for guests, children or hobbies.
Toward the rear of the property, the family bathroom sits off the landing, fully tiled in high-gloss white with a contrasting feature band. It includes a bath with electric shower overhead, WC, hand wash basin and a traditional towel radiator. A large window keeps the space bright and airy – the perfect setting to unwind after a long day.
Bedroom five is positioned at the back of the house and is currently set up as a home office. With laminate flooring and neutral walls, it easily accommodates a queen-sized bed and additional furniture, offering flexibility for evolving family needs.
Bedroom two features walnut-effect laminate flooring, lilac-toned walls and spotlights overhead. A large window overlooks the rear garden and conservatory, drawing in plenty of natural light.
Across the landing, bedroom three sits over the extension. With space for a king-size bed and additional furniture, this room enjoys peaceful views over surrounding woodland and greenery, making it feel wonderfully private and tucked away.
Outside, the rear garden is arranged over gentle tiers, offering a thoughtful balance of lawn, patio and established planting. A patio area directly outside the house provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Steps lead up to two further lawned sections, divided by dwarf walls and bordered by mature shrubs that offer colour and privacy throughout the year.
With no properties directly behind, the garden feels open and secluded, offering excellent potential for landscaping, play areas, or quiet seating spots to enjoy the changing seasons.
