A separate cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

The upper floors continue to impress, with six bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors, offering excellent flexibility for growing families, visiting guests or those requiring dedicated workspace. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms provide versatile accommodation for family members and guests. A family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, with two further bedrooms on the uppermost floor adding to the property's generous and adaptable layout.

The basement provides valuable additional space, incorporating a utility room and two storage areas. This practical lower-ground level offers useful provision for laundry and household storage, complementing the extensive accommodation above.

One of the property's most appealing features is the south-facing rear garden, providing a delightful outdoor setting in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the sunshine. Offering a wonderful extension of the living space, the garden provides an attractive backdrop to the house and an ideal setting for outdoor dining, summer gatherings and peaceful afternoons in the sunshine. To the front, the handsome double-fronted façade creates an impressive first impression, while the carriage driveway provides off-road parking for approximately three cars and a motorcycle - a particularly valuable feature for a home of this size.

Throughout the house, there is a wonderful sense of space and character, with generous room dimensions and traditional proportions contributing to its enduring appeal. The property offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to appreciate its existing charm while updating and personalising the interiors to suit contemporary tastes, subject to any necessary consents.
