The property combines practical living space with a flexible layout, including a ground floor principal bedroom with ensuite, alongside generous reception areas and a bright conservatory. Externally, the home benefits from off-road parking, a garage, workshop, and an enclosed courtyard garden, creating a well-rounded and highly functional living environment.

The property is entered via a central entrance hall, which provides access to the main ground floor rooms and stairs rising to the first floor, with useful storage incorporated. The living room is positioned to the front of the property and offers a well-balanced space with a feature fireplace and bay window, creating a comfortable and inviting setting.
To the rear, the dining room links directly with the conservatory, allowing for a natural flow between the two spaces. The conservatory enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and provides direct access outside, making it well suited to everyday use as well as entertaining.
The kitchen/breakfast room is located at the heart of the home and is arranged to offer ample work surfaces and storage, along with space for informal dining. From here, there is access to a separate utility room, adding further practicality and additional storage. Overall, the layout provides a good degree of flexibility, with clearly defined yet well-connected living spaces.
The property offers a well-considered bedroom arrangement, with the principal bedroom conveniently located on the ground floor. This is a generous room, positioned to the front and complemented by a dressing area and an adjoining ensuite shower room, providing a practical and private suite.
Also on the ground floor is a separate bathroom, fitted to serve both guests and day-to-day use, adding flexibility to the overall layout.
On the first floor, there are two further bedrooms, both offering comfortable proportions and a degree of character through the roofline. These are served by a modern shower room, completing the first floor accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys a private and well-enclosed setting, with a block-paved driveway to the front providing off-road parking and access to a detached garage.
To the rear, the garden has been designed for low-maintenance use, with a paved terrace creating a natural space for outdoor seating and dining. A timber pergola adds structure and a focal point, while planted borders and mature shrubs soften the space and provide a good degree of privacy.
There is also a useful outbuilding, offering potential for storage, a workshop, or hobby space, depending on requirements.
