Neatly integrated appliances comprise a Neff double oven, an electric hob, and an extractor fan, whilst provision is made for freestanding goods.

The living room peacefully overlooks the rear garden and is filled with sunny natural light throughout the day owing to a southwest-facing bay window. Plenty of space is provided for a choice of furniture layouts, all arranged around a warming multi-fuel stove. A final flexible room completes the ground-floor accommodation, which is currently being utilised as a family room with potential to be a children’s playroom, a home office, or a fifth bedroom, if desired.

The remaining bedrooms are on the first floor, approached via a charming spiral staircase housed in a turret, which also creates an eye-catching external feature, and a landing with built-in storage. All four bedrooms are accompanied by built-in wardrobes or storage, are tastefully decorated and carpeted for comfort, and boast wonderful far-reaching views of the countryside. The principal bedroom further benefits from an en-suite shower room. Finally, a family bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a folding glazed screen, a wall-mounted basin, and a WC. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.

Externally, the home is perfectly complemented by generous wraparound, beautifully maintained gardens. Enjoying a tranquil position owing to the adjacent countryside, the gardens present a haven in which to relax during the warmer months, with an expansive, well-maintained lawn, a wealth of established, colourful shrubbery and trees, and low-maintenance gravelled/paved areas for outdoor seating. Excellent private parking is provided by a detached double garage and a large private driveway.

Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances will be included in the sale.
