Upstairs, the home continues to impress with a far stronger sense of space and flexibility than is typically found. All five bedrooms are generous doubles, a rare and highly desirable feature, each enjoying excellent natural light.

Externally, the property offers a wonderfully private, mature garden with a peaceful, leafy backdrop. A substantial corner Balau hardwood decked terrace provides another exceptional entertaining space, perfectly positioned to capture the afternoon and early evening sun, while a sheltered 71 sq ft storage area beneath the balcony-with fitted shelving-offers highly practical external storage. Further benefits include an integral double garage with shelving and an electronically operated door, in addition to a private driveway, reinforcing the home's exceptional practicality alongside its design appeal.
