The property is approached via an impressive deep frontage with an ‘in and out’ driveway, providing extensive off-road parking and creating an elegant arrival. The frontage is beautifully framed by mature planting and an outstanding Magnolia tree which provides a particularly striking feature when in bloom.
Entering the property, a spacious reception hall immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house, with a feeling of space and quality that continues throughout. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, ideally suited to family living.
To the front of the house is a formal dining room, an elegant space ideal for both everyday use and more formal occasions. The living room is particularly impressive, being beautifully proportioned and creating a warm and inviting space in which to relax.
At the heart of the home lies the spacious kitchen breakfast room, fitted with an Aga and offering an excellent range of storage and preparation space.

To the first floor, the spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite bathroom. The guest bedroom also enjoys the advantage of its own en-suite facilities. Two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
A particularly noteworthy feature of the house is the substantial loft space, accessed via a drop-down ladder. Already fully boarded and fitted with Velux and dormer windows, this area offers tremendous potential for conversion into additional habitable accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
