The detached property is full of character, including bay windows, leaded glazing, external timber beams and decorative brickwork that reflects the history of the building. There is scope for interested parties to update and extend, subject to any necessary planning consents. The gardens include landscaped formal areas along with a woodland dene that is a haven for wildlife. A detached garage and driveway parking bring practicality, with the property as a whole extending to 0.68 acres.

The front door opens from beneath a sheltering portico to the entrance hall with wood wall panels and a useful ground floor WC tucked to the rear. There are three generous and versatile reception rooms on the ground floor. The sitting room and dining room sit to the front elevation. The spacious sitting room is dual aspect, including a box bay window and twin arched windows to one side. The dining room offers more formal entertaining space with a canted bay window and plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs. The drawing room is positioned to the rear and mirrors the layout of the sitting room. All of the reception rooms are light and inviting. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinetry with wood finish and has a pantry with good storage. A breakfast bar provides space for casual dining and there is access to the elevated terrace above the gardens.

The staircase rises from the hall via a half landing to the first floor and the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is filled with natural light from another lovely box bay window. There is an abundance of fitted wardrobes and storage. The second bedroom is equally generous and also has fitted wardrobes, whilst the third bedroom is of good size. There is also a study which could be used as a small fourth bedroom if required. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom and a separate shower room. The bathroom suite comprises bath with shower over, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. The bath is set within an unusual tiled arch.

Externally
