The Accommodation
The property displays an attractive mix of traditional materials and architectural detail, creating a home that feels both established and welcoming.

The sitting room is a warm and inviting space, complemented by exposed beams and triple aspect views, while an adjoining reception room offers further versatility as a dining area, snug or home office. A separate family room provides an additional informal living space, ideal for relaxation or use as a playroom.
The kitchen/dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and offers generous space for both cooking and casual dining, supported by a ground floor cloakroom and useful utility room with direct access to the store room, which can also be accessed from the front of the property.
On the first floor, the accommodation continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying an attractive outlook and served by a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite, making it particularly well suited for both owner-occupiers and visiting guests.
Outside
To the front, a shingle driveway provides convenient off road parking and leads to a charming, sheltered entrance set behind a classic flint and brick wall. This low maintenance space is softened by established borders and a manicured evergreen, perfectly complementing the home’s traditional aesthetic. The rear garden is a particular feature of the property, offering a good degree of privacy and a peaceful setting. Laid predominantly to lawn and bordered by established planting, the garden provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, family life and quiet enjoyment. A timber outbuilding offers useful storage or potential for further enhancement, subject to requirements.
