Ground floor

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a stylish entrance hall, an inviting space featuring an elegant, panelled staircase with natural wood handrail rising to the first-floor landing. The hallway is further enhanced by ceiling coving, a traditional radiator and tiled flooring that continues seamlessly through to the inner hall. There is also a useful understairs cupboard providing additional storage. From the hall, 1930s-inspired panelled doors lead to the living room and inner hall.
The high ceiling within the living room heightens the sense of space while the bow window floods the room with natural light. An open fireplace with multifuel stove set on a rustic flagstone hearth creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere and is complemented by fireside cupboards and shelving offering both practicality and visual appeal. Natural wood flooring pairs beautifully with the neutral décor.
The inner hall provides access to the utility room, which is well-appointed with light grey Shaker-inspired cabinetry, space and plumbing for a washing machine, with a recess above for a tumble dryer, tiled flooring, a built-in storage cupboard with shelving above, and a gas-fired boiler.
Across the hall, the family room offers a versatile and charming space. It features a decorative cast iron fireplace and built-in fireside storage including a glazed display cabinet. French doors open directly onto the garden. The inner hall is a generous space with a separate area offering potential for a reading nook or study area with a window bringing in natural light.
To the rear of the property is the impressive kitchen/dining room enjoying abundant natural light and creating an inviting environment for both everyday living and hosting family and friends. The kitchen is fitted with a timeless range of light grey Shaker-inspired units complemented by durable Silestone work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and slimline dishwasher, along with practical features such as pull-out bin drawers and storage units. There is also space for an Aga (available by separate negotiation) with extractor fan above, and an undermount ceramic sink with mixer tap and tiled splashback. A bespoke dresser-style unit with lighting offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Grey oak-effect laminate flooring flows seamlessly into the dining area where French doors open onto the south-facing garden.
Alternative access to the garden is afforded by a single door located opposite the entrance to the shower room, which is stylishly appointed with a traditional vanity basin unit, back-to-wall WC, and a walk-in shower enclosure with electric shower and full-height wall tiling. The remainder of the shower room enjoys wooden wall panelling to dado height, a newly laid vinyl flooring, an extractor fan, and a traditional radiator with towel rail.
First floor

The landing provides access to the loft space and features a panelled balustrade with natural wood handrail. 1930s-inspired panelled doors lead to all bedrooms and the bathroom.
The master bedroom is a truly elegant and spacious sanctuary, bathed in light from the bow window beneath which is a fabulous window seat incorporating useful storage – a peaceful place to sit and relax. The room also features picture rail, an attractive wallpapered wall, and a charming bedroom fireplace. Built-in floor-to-ceiling storage is positioned on either side of the fireplace.
Bedroom two is another generous double room, particularly bright due to its south-facing aspect. It benefits from a built-in double cupboard to one side of the chimney breast, with a useful recess on the other side ideal for a chest of drawers. The room features picture rail and a soft neutral colour scheme, along with a lovely outlook over the garden. Bedroom three is well-proportioned, currently accommodating a double bed. It would equally serve as an excellent home office, benefiting from good natural light.
The bathroom is fitted with a white gloss vanity basin unit, a dual-flush WC, and a sit-down shower bath with electric shower. The room is fully tiled to ceiling height and includes a front-facing window, extractor fan, heated towel rail, and a polished tiled floor.
Outside

To the front of the property is a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking. Mature shrub borders and hedging along the front boundary add colour, privacy and visual appeal.
The icing on the cake is the expansive and beautifully maintained south-facing rear garden, offering an ideal space for both relaxation and entertaining. The spacious paved patio is perfectly positioned to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day, providing ample room for outdoor dining and garden furniture. The patio is bordered by natural stone walling softened with fragrant lavender.

The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by mature, well-stocked borders and established trees, including apple, pear, and plum varieties. Further into the garden, there is a greenhouse and additional planting areas, along with steps rising to a raised section with a timber deck—an ideal spot to enjoy views back towards the house. A large timber shed provides excellent storage, and a wooden gate at the far end offers direct access to a footpath leading to open fields.
A pathway runs along the side of the property where there is an outside tap and access to a lean-to cycle store. This useful space features power and lighting, and a roller shutter garage door to the front, making it ideal for storage or sheltered parking for bikes or motorbikes.
