The ground floor benefits from two sizeable, light-filled reception rooms, both positioned at the front of the house. Each room features large sash windows overlooking the garden, newly fitted plush carpets, and calming neutral décor. Period-style fireplaces add a touch of heritage charm and serve as stunning focal points, making both rooms ideal for cosy evenings or entertaining guests.

At the heart of the home is a generous farmhouse kitchen that beautifully balances traditional styling with modern practicality.

A practical utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing additional space for appliances and laundry, along with fitted cabinetry for further storage. This area also includes a convenient downstairs WC, ideal for busy households and guests.

Upstairs, a wide and airy landing gives access to four generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows with lovely countryside views, and is tastefully presented in soft neutral tones with a newly laid carpet. The accompanying en-suite includes a corner shower cubicle, WC, and hand basin for added convenience and privacy.

The second double bedroom continues the high standard of finish, enjoying ample natural light and views of the garden, ideal as a guest bedroom, family room, or even a home office. Two further double bedrooms also benefit from bright, neutral décor and offer flexible accommodation for a growing family or visiting guests with the use of a WC.

The family bathroom is well appointed with a traditional three piece suite comprising a bath with modern glass screen and overhead shower, pedestal basin, and WC. A large window brings in plenty of light, while tasteful finishes and neutral wall coverings give the space a timeless elegance.
