The front door opens into a hallway, leading through to a second hall with stairs leading to the upper level, where a reception room can be found. Here, a large picture window frames truly magnificent views of the surrounding hills, countryside, and woodland, and its southeast-facing aspect allows an abundance of sunny natural light to flood in throughout the day. A generous footprint offers excellent flexibility for arrangements of lounge and dining furniture, and the kitchen is conveniently connected via a serving hatch.

The home has four well-proportioned bedrooms, two on each floor. The particularly spacious ground floor bedrooms boast built-in wardrobes, versatile dressing rooms, and en-suite shower rooms. The bedrooms on the upper level are also supplemented by built-in storage and the smaller of the two has potential to be utilised as a home office, ideal for those who work or study from home. Finally, an additional shower room completes the accommodation on offer, comprising a walk-in enclosure, and a WC-suite set into storage. The home is kept warm by gas central heating and the windows are all double glazed.
