Upon entering, you step into an inviting entrance hall that leads you to the main living spaces. The first living room is generous and comfortably proportioned, featuring well placed windows that draw in natural light and a log burner providing a good heat source in the winter months. Beyond this, the home flows into a beautifully designed open plan kitchen, dining and family area. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary units, integrated appliances and quality work surfaces, while the dining area offers space for relaxed everyday use or entertaining. A utility area lies just off the kitchen, discreet yet well connected, providing laundry and additional storage functionality.

Through into the second living room you have one of the house’s most striking features, the hidden room on the ground floor. Discreetly tucked behind a subtle concealed door, this space leads through into what functions as a ground floor bedroom, ideal for guests, older children or special use. Its secretive nature adds both intrigue and flexible potential to the property.

Ascending to the second floor, you will find three further bedrooms including the master. The master bedroom is well sized, offering a restful retreat, while the two additional upstairs rooms are equally well proportioned and filled with light. All bedrooms share access to the stylish family bathroom, fitted with modern sanitary ware, a bath and separate overhead shower unit.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped. A paved patio area invites outdoor dining and lounging, while a neatly maintained lawn extends beyond. The boundaries are enhanced with planting to deliver both beauty and privacy, and the garden is easily managed.

With its clever layout, hidden room, flexible spaces, and fresh modern finishes, this property is ideal for families or buyers looking for a unique home that balances character, utility and contemporary comforts.
