There is ample room for informal seating or a breakfast table, making it the perfect place for family life to unfold. Complementing the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing additional storage and laundry facilities whilst helping to keep the main living areas beautifully organised.
The living accommodation is equally impressive.

This superb room offers ample space for both relaxing and entertaining and flows effortlessly into the formal dining room via an attractive archway.

Bedrooms four and five are both excellent-sized rooms and provide complete flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation, nurseries or dedicated home office space. These are served by a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom incorporating both a separate bath and shower.
A standout feature of Bay Tree House is the beautifully appointed self-contained annexe, an increasingly sought-after addition that enhances both the flexibility and long-term appeal of this exceptional home. Whether used for multi-generational living, independent accommodation for a relative, luxurious guest accommodation, a home business or studio, or continued as a thriving holiday let, the possibilities are endless.
The annexe has been thoughtfully designed to provide complete independence whilst remaining seamlessly connected to the main residence. The ground floor offers a spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, creating a bright, welcoming and sociable environment. Upstairs, a generous open-plan double bedroom is complemented by a contemporary en-suite shower room, providing stylish and comfortable accommodation for family members or guests.
The current owners have enjoyed considerable success operating the annexe as a holiday let, providing an attractive supplementary income whilst maintaining the privacy of the main residence. This rare combination of an executive family home and an established income-generating opportunity makes Bay Tree House an incredibly desirable proposition for a wide range of purchasers.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The wrap-around gardens have been beautifully landscaped to create an oasis of tranquillity, offering a wonderful balance of open lawn, mature planting and carefully positioned seating areas that follow the sun throughout the day. Whether hosting summer barbecues on the generous patio terrace, watching children and pets enjoy the gardens, or simply relaxing with a book surrounded by birdsong, the outside space perfectly complements the lifestyle this outstanding home provides.
