The home opens with a charming porch leading into a welcoming entrance hall, where parquet herringbone Karndean flooring immediately sets a tone of character, craftsmanship and timeless elegance. This beautiful first impression gives the ground floor a sense of warmth and distinction, hinting at the generous proportions and traditional appeal found throughout the property. To the left, the formal lounge provides a graceful room for entertaining, centred around a fireplace feature. Whether arranged for quiet evenings, family gatherings or more refined occasions, this inviting reception room offers an elegant setting with a wonderful sense of comfort and occasion.

Further into the home, the living room offers a more relaxed and informal setting, ideal for unwinding at the end of the day. Sliding doors open directly to the rear garden, allowing the room to connect beautifully with the outside space and making it perfect for summer entertaining and family life. Completing the ground floor is a 'Smallbone' branded kitchen, fitted with an abundance of wooden base and wall units that provide excellent storage and preparation space. With two sinks and a five point gas hob, the kitchen is well arranged for keen cooks, busy households and those who appreciate a practical, well-equipped heart to the home.
