The principal reception rooms are equally inviting. The sitting room, positioned at the end of the hallway, enjoys a lovely outlook and access to the garden.

There is plenty of room for children to play, keen gardeners to indulge their passion or simply to enjoy the tranquillity of this established setting.

The detached garage is another valuable asset, with a roller door and parking for approximately three to four vehicles to the front. To one side, a more secluded area provides external steps leading to the first floor above the garage, currently arranged as office and gym space.
