Also on the ground floor is a well-proportioned double bedroom and a large four-piece bathroom suite, making this level especially well-suited for guests or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, accessed by two staircases at either end of the property, there are six bedrooms in total. The master bedroom is centrally located, while a walk-through bedroom currently serves as a dressing room or study.

A formal walled garden and paved terrace provide the perfect setting for al fresco dining, while a meadow garden with fruit trees and an orchard of over 20 apple varieties offers a touch of the rural idyll. Raised vegetable beds, a log store, play fort, and garden shed add further charm. The Biss Brook runs gently through the land, crossed by a wooden footbridge leading to a secluded area once home to poultry.
