ACCOMMODATION
The front door opens to a glazed lobby area leading to a welcoming and light internal hallway with a central staircase. To the right there is a spacious living room which has triple aspect windows, including French doors to the garden and a central feature fireplace. The kitchen is filled with natural light and benefits from high ceilings, and a range of cupboards and appliances plus a space for a breakfast bar with a door leading to the rear garden. The property has a spacious and elegant dining room with a view to the front garden, which is framed by roses, wisteria and fern trees. There is a third reception room which leads to a double bedroom overlooking the back garden. There is a downstairs family bathroom with a relaxing ambience, fitted with a free-standing bath and decorated with handmade artisan tiles. This flexible configuration lends itself to a separate ground floor annexe.

Upstairs, the staircase and landing are flooded with natural light. There are two bright double bedrooms, one with extensive built in storage, and a separate modern shower room.

The property benefits from a separate annexe, located above the garage with an electric roller door which has recently been converted into a studio/workshop. A separate door opens to a staircase that leads to a light and spacious double bedroom with an ensuite modern shower room, which is currently being used as an office. There is a Juliette balcony and further windows creating a bright space.

Adjacent to the annexe there is a further outbuilding, a fully pine clad studio fitted with lights and power. This would make a useful office or gym set away from the main house with its own private garden area and is attached to a secure storage room. The final outbuilding is a pine clad summer house. There is also a brick-built storage/potting shed which is attached to the main house.


OUTSIDE SPACE
The wraparound garden takes full advantage of all aspects and maximises sunshine. It is mainly laid to lawn with many established trees, shrubs, roses and wildflower borders. There is a secluded paved area designed for relaxation and al fresco dining that has a wildlife-friendly rockery and water feature.

The garden is enclosed by a high fence with two access points. A front gate opens onto a path to the front door, and a gated gravel driveway offering secure offroad parking at the rear of the house with space for multiple vehicles, as well as providing a separate entrance and access to the annexe and home studio.
