The established greenery creates a wonderful sense of seclusion, with the house nestled amongst leafy surroundings and enjoying a lovely degree of privacy.

The staircase is another attractive feature, with its traditional white balustrade, natural wood handrail and elegant carpet runner adding character to the space. Off the entrance hall, you will find a downstairs WC and a separate cloak room, providing a dedicated space for coats and shoes.

The ground floor has a wonderful sense of flow, with sets of double doors connecting the living spaces, creating a lovely feeling of openness whilst still allowing each room to retain its own purpose. To the right, a generous double-aspect sitting room spans the depth of the house, enjoying an abundance of natural light and featuring a gas fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the garden. A set of double doors leads through to a further spacious reception room, another wonderfully bright and versatile space, with large windows overlooking the garden and a second set of French doors opening onto the patio. The connection between these two rooms works beautifully for both everyday family life and entertaining, allowing the spaces to be opened up when hosting family and friends, whilst also providing the flexibility of two separate sitting areas, giving everyone their own space to relax and unwind.

Completing the ground floor is the downstairs study, offering a dedicated space for those who work from home.

Upstairs, the staircase opens onto a spacious and airy landing, with a lovely sense of openness that continues the feeling of space found throughout the home. The generous layout means the five bedrooms are nicely spaced apart, rather than leading off a narrow corridor, giving the first floor a relaxed and open feel. A window at the far end allows natural light to filter through, whilst the landing itself offers a charming little spot for a reading chair, creating a peaceful corner to sit.

A generous bathtub provides the perfect spot for a relaxing soak whilst a separate shower enclosure offers everyday convenience.
