At the end of the landing, a double bedroom with fitted storage, currently serves as a private and quiet study, with views out over the garden.

Sage Green coloured carpet dresses the staircase leading up past a stained-glass window to the second-floor landing where another elegant stained-glass window invites the light in.

From this landing, arrive at a handsome bedroom, with feature red brick exposed chimney breast with arched detail. Light streams in through the large skylights, whilst refreshment awaits within the ensuite, furnished with wooden flooring, walk-in electric shower tiled in grey and with WC, vanity unit wash basin and chrome heated towel radiator.

Boarded out loft storage is also available.

From beneath the canopy shelter of the gazebo, admire the full reach of the gloriously spacious, south facing garden. Soak up the sunshine on the patio terrace which leads on from the decking, also accessible from the kitchen-family room.

Mature borders, lovingly tended over the years, provide privacy and screening to the boundaries, whilst the large, flat lawn is perfect for children’s games.
