The dining area sits alongside, with the proportions allowing for a full size dining table. The room connects naturally with the ground floor and is supported by well considered storage throughout.

The living room
The living room is a well proportioned and inviting space, arranged around a central log burner that provides a strong focal point and adds character as well as warmth. Glazed doors open directly onto the garden, strengthening the connection between inside and out and making this an ideal room for entertaining or family life. The proportions are generous and balanced, offering flexibility in how the space is used while maintaining a sense of comfort and privacy.

The study
Positioned off the main hall, the study provides a quiet and practical space well suited to home working or study. The proportions allow for a full size desk and additional furniture without feeling confined, making it a comfortable room for daily use. Set away from the main living areas, this flexibility also makes it suitable for alternative uses should requirements change, adding to the overall versatility of the layout.

The utility and cloakroom
Positioned off the kitchen, the utility room provides a practical and well organised space that supports the main living areas of the house. There is ample room for laundry appliances alongside additional storage, keeping everyday tasks neatly contained and out of sight from the kitchen and dining space. The ground floor cloakroom is conveniently located and well proportioned, making it ideal for guests and day to day use.

The gym/garage
The garage is a generous and versatile space, currently used as a home gym while still retaining the practicality expected of a garage. Its size allows for a wide range of uses, from secure parking to storage or hobby space, depending on individual needs. Direct access from the house enhances convenience, and the proportions make it easy to adapt without compromise. This flexibility adds further appeal for buyers seeking space that can evolve alongside changing requirements.

The entrance hall
The entrance hall creates a strong first impression, providing a welcoming and well organised introduction to the house. From here, there is a clear sense of flow with direct access to the principal ground floor rooms and the staircase rising to the first floor.

The primary bedroom
The primary bedroom is a generous double room positioned on the first floor, offering a calm and private retreat within the house. The proportions comfortably accommodate bedroom furniture alongside built in wardrobes.

The primary en suite
The en suite is positioned directly off the bedroom, providing everyday convenience without encroaching on the main sleeping area. Well arranged and practical, it features a shower, WC and wash basin, enhancing the overall functionality of the principal accommodation.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom is a well proportioned double room, offering flexible accommodation suited to family members or guests. The shape of the room allows for a comfortable sleeping area alongside additional furniture, including built in wardrobes, making it practical for everyday use.

The third and fourth bedrooms
The third bedroom is a comfortable double room, well suited to family use or guests and arranged to allow for bedroom furniture without compromising space. The fourth bedroom is another well balanced room, ideal as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office.

The bathroom
The family bathroom serves the first floor bedrooms and is arranged to make efficient use of the available space. It is fitted with a bath with shower over, alongside a wash basin and WC, creating a practical layout suited to everyday family use.

The landing
The first floor landing provides a central and well organised space linking all bedrooms and the family bathroom. Its proportions allow for easy movement between rooms while maintaining a sense of openness away from the staircase.

The garden
The rear garden offers a pleasant and manageable outdoor space, laid mainly to lawn with a paved terrace positioned directly off the house. This arrangement creates a clear area for outdoor seating while leaving the remainder of the garden open and easy to maintain. Its modest size is balanced by the generous driveway to the front, making this an appealing arrangement for those who value parking and practicality alongside outdoor space.

The driveway and parking
Set behind gated access, the property benefits from a substantial gravel driveway providing generous off street parking. The space comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles and is arranged to allow easy manoeuvring. The driveway sits to the front of the house and leads directly to the garage, reinforcing the strong sense of arrival. This emphasis on parking and access is a real asset, offering a layout that suits modern living priorities.
