A large entrance hall with cloakroom provides access to the living accommodation which includes a superb triple aspect living room with a pretty bay window addition overlooking the rear garden along with a feature fireplace. Positioned at the front of the house and adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room, again with feature bay window, alongside a useful study/family room.

To the rear of the property there is an L shaped kitchen/breakfast room incorporating a comprehensive range of wall and base mounted units with built-in appliances, a useful breakfast bar and double doors opening out to onto the rear garden.

Located next to the kitchen is a good size utility room which in turn gives access to a generous garden room with an additional cloakroom and double doors out onto a terrace. From here, a secondary front access leads into an internal hallway, accessed from which are the double garage and the utility room. This whole section of the house provides enormous scope for further alteration to create a self contained annexe or similar, subject to planning consent.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive with five double bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bath and shower room while the remaining bedrooms are served by 2 further bath/shower rooms (1 en-suite).

The superb, mature plot approaching 3/4 acre is a real feature with the property sitting well back to allow for ample parking on a block paved driveway which gives access to the garage.

The rear gardens are a joy having been extensively landscaped with a patio area wrapping around the rear of the property and providing an expanse of outdoor entertaining space. The gardens are laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging and well stocked beds, with pathways winding down to a further secluded "secondary" garden which features fruit and vegetable beds and an abundance of fruit trees. Within the garden there is a pretty summer house which serves as a home office, gym, studio or similar.
