A snug/study with original parquet flooring and made to measure shutters, and a large utility room providing additional storage, a second fridge/freezer and wash hand basin, complete the ground floor level.

The upper floor is equally impressive and provides an exceptional principal bedroom suite with a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite shower room. There are four further spacious bedrooms and a beautiful family bathroom suite with a roll-top bathtub and a separate shower cubicle.

Outside, the rear garden provides a high degree of privacy and showcases inspiring garden design at its best, as featured in the May edition of Ideal Home magazine. Coloured-themed borders surround a manicured lawn and connect to separate seating areas, a kitchen garden with irrigation system, a heated dining area and a Zen Garden.
