A square arch opens to the delightful garden room which is entirely constructed from a green oak frame, has a vaulted ceiling and French doors to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast/family room forms the heart of the house and is extensively fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units which have oak surfaces, two Smeg ovens, an induction hob, dishwasher, wine fridge, the original 'Rayburn' cooking range, a walk in pantry and a large central island unit. There is oak flooring throughout and bi fold doors access a pretty west facing courtyard making it ideal for entertaining.

There is a well-appointed utility room accessed from the reception hall, which has a range of painted units with oak surfaces, oak flooring, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, adjacent to this is a luxurious cloakroom.

The first floor is equally impressive and has a spacious galleried landing, oak flooring and a large storage/linen cupboard.

There is a lavishly appointed en-suite with a roll top bath, rectangular sink on a wrought iron stand and oak flooring.

There are three further bedrooms, two of which have extensive wardrobe space, with the fourth bedroom making a useful dressing room if required. These are served by a lavishly appointed family bathroom with a roll top bath and shower over, and a matching white suite.

The property is approached via a sliding electric gate which accesses a large gravel drive that provides extensive parking and leads to the detached double garage, car port and the detached former wash house which is now used as a practical office building.
