Serving as the sociable hub of the home, the vaulted breakfast kitchen combines style and function for everyday living. Sleek handleless cabinetry, quartz worktops and a substantial island with breakfast bar surround premium integrated appliances, while skylights accentuate the vaulted ceiling overhead and large tiled flooring with electric underfloor heating keeps things cosy. Bifold doors open to the terrace and long garden, and a practical utility lies just off the kitchen.

The living room
Designed for relaxing with family and friends, the living room centres on a contemporary wood burning stove set into a chimney breast with slate hearth. Oak flooring and an elegant pendant light give the space a warm, homely feel. Sliding patio doors open to the terrace and garden, creating an effortless connection to the outdoors.

The dining room
Family meals and special occasions are enjoyed in the generous dining room. A bay window to the front and an elegant pendant light set the scene, while an inviting wood burning stove adds character beneath a classic fireplace surround. Oak flooring continues the theme of the ground floor and the room flows naturally to the reception hall for convenient serving from the kitchen.

The entrance hall and cloakroom
The reception hall makes a great first impression, welcoming guests beneath an arched porch into a space with original oak flooring and panelling. A handsome staircase with turned balustrade rises to the first floor and there is useful cupboard space beneath. Just off the hall, the cloakroom includes a modern two piece suite and patterned flooring, ideal for visiting family and friends.

The primary bedroom
The principal bedroom offers a calm retreat at the rear of the home, with plenty of space for a king size bed and furniture. A period cast iron fireplace provides a charming focal point and hints at the home’s 1930s origins. A wide window with plantation shutters frames leafy views and ensures a peaceful atmosphere for rest and relaxation.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom is a generously proportioned double room that comfortably accommodates sleeping and study areas. Either side of a striking period fireplace are fitted wardrobe cupboards providing excellent storage and display shelving. A window to the front with plantation shutters completes this versatile room, which is perfectly suited for children or overnight guests.

The third bedroom
The third bedroom is a well presented single room, equally suited as a nursery or a home office. A window with plantation shutters overlooks the garden and neutral décor complements the soft carpet underfoot. The room’s neat proportions make it an adaptable space for a variety of uses.

The bathroom
The family bathroom pairs period charm with contemporary comfort. A freestanding roll top bath invites long soaks while a separate glazed shower cubicle provides a refreshing alternative. Traditional fixtures such as the high level WC and vintage style taps are complemented by a modern vanity unit and wood effect flooring.

The garden
A real highlight of the property is the superb rear garden, stretching to approximately 132 ft and ideal for family life. A paved terrace adjacent to the house offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Beyond lies an expanse of lawn bordered by raised beds and mature trees, with a dedicated play area and useful sheds at the far end.

The driveway and parking
To the front and side of the home, a block paved driveway provides ample off road parking for several vehicles. The drive continues alongside the house to a detached single garage with adjoining outbuildings for storage. Established hedging provides screening from the road and helps to create a welcoming arrival.
