The spacious entrance hall provides access to the adjoining double garage, offering potential for conversion if required. It also features a double built-in coat cupboard, stairs rising to the first floor, and a useful understairs storage cupboard. Internal oak doors lead to the well-planned ground-floor accommodation.

The property boasts a fantastic open-plan living/dining room, with sliding doors to the front aspect allowing plenty of natural light to flood the space. A popular log-burning stove and wood flooring add warmth and character throughout. The dining area comfortably accommodates a family-sized table and enjoys lovely views over the rear garden, with double doors opening onto a decked area, complemented by two Velux windows.

To the rear, the extension provides an additional versatile reception room, currently used as a home office/music room, but equally suitable as a ground-floor bedroom if required. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the garden and is fitted with a modern range of quality wall and base units, a one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap, a five-ring gas hob with extractor, tiled splashbacks, an integrated dishwasher, and a built-in eye-level double oven. A breakfast bar with a solid wood butcher’s block work surface adds further practicality, alongside a Velux roof window, a side access door, and wood flooring throughout.

Upstairs, the galleried first-floor landing leads to all bedrooms and the family bathroom, and includes a front-facing window and an airing cupboard. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes, providing ample storage, and sits adjacent to the family bathroom, offering potential to create an en suite. Bedroom two is another generously sized double with rear garden views, while bedroom three is also a good-sized double with windows to both the front and side. Bedroom four is positioned at the front and is ideal as a nursery or study.

The modernised family bathroom comprises an obscure double-glazed window, a panel bath with mixer and shower attachment, a low-level WC with concealed cistern, and a hand wash basin with storage units. It is finished with half-height tiling, a stainless steel heated towel rail and ceiling spotlights.

Outside and Parking

Externally, the front garden is mainly laid to gravel, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage. The rear garden is a particular highlight, featuring a decked area, a patio, extensive lawn and mature trees. In addition, there is a combined summerhouse/shed, perfectly positioned to catch the evening sun. It is enclosed by high hedging and established borders, creating a private and tranquil outdoor space.

The double garage is fitted with an up-and-over door, overhead storage, a front-facing window, and power and lighting.
