A door from the dining room opens into the garden room, which enjoys a pleasant view to the rear and has a pair of doors opening out onto the south-facing terrace.

The principal reception room is the 27ft triple aspect sitting room, which leads into the versatile study/office. The farmhouse kitchen also enjoys superb proportions, with plenty of space for a large table with chairs in the centre of the room, alongside a collection of timber fronted storage units under granite work surfaces. The kitchen also comprises a twin Belfast sink, a free-standing Rangemaster oven and an integrated refrigerator and dishwasher. To the side of the kitchen is the well-equipped utility room which also houses the ground floor cloakroom, with a stable door from the useful boot room leading to the rear garden.

Stairs from the dining room rise up to the first floor landing, where there are doors into all four of the bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys the luxury and convenience of an en-suite shower room, whilst the other bedrooms are served by the stylishly refurbished family bathroom.
