A further dual aspect reception room with wood effect flooring and downlighting, presently used as an office, adds further flexibility to this wonderful home. A cloakroom/utility completes the ground floor accommodation.
A split half-landing gives access to the double bedroom five and the second bathroom. Once on the main landing, one finds four further tremendous sized, double bedrooms and a charming house bathroom with feature claw foot bath. No-one draws the short straw here!
Externally there is ample parking to the front whilst to the rear one finds a mature garden, laid mainly to lawn with mature beds. A bike store and shed afford storage. The ‘jewel in the crown’ is a spacious, purpose-built garden room. Presently used as an office, this is the ideal spot to get some peace and quiet and would also make the perfect garden retreat, a wonderfully relaxing environment in which to curl up with a good book and a cup of Yorkshire tea.
Over the years this home has been sympathetically extended to create what many would say is the perfect family home. An early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
