Description:

Set behind a brick boundary wall, the attractive double-fronted façade opens into a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. In recent years, the current owners have thoughtfully refurbished the home throughout, creating beautifully presented accommodation that successfully balances modern comforts with the property's wealth of original character.

The living space offers two charming, symmetrical reception rooms positioned to the front of the property, currently arranged as a formal dining room and a cosy snug, both retaining attractive period features and fireplaces. Beyond, there is a spacious home office and a substantial living room, providing excellent flexibility for modern family life.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed-style timbers, oak work surfaces, a Butler sink, integrated appliances and a striking inglenook fireplace housing a large cooker, it offers both character and practicality in equal measure. A separate utility room provides additional storage and workspace, whilst beyond lies a superb garden room. Flooded with natural light, this versatile space enjoys uninterrupted views across the garden.

The first floor offers five well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, wood flooring and a cast iron fireplace, while several bedrooms continue the property's period theme with original-style fireplaces and character detailing. Serving the bedrooms is a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, marble flooring with underfloor heating, twin basins and a separate walk-in shower.

Adding further flexibility, the converted double garage provides a self-contained annexe comprising a bedroom, kitchen and wet room, ideal for guests.

Lastly, the property has a fully serviced motion sensor alarm system fitted.
