Each area of the property is exceptionally generous in size. From the moment you step inside the reception hall, it becomes clear that this is a home with genuine presence and a wonderful 'big house feel.'
It is rare to find three bedrooms of such equal quality two featuring their own en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining first-floor double bedroom adjoins the main bathroom, effectively creating a third bedroom suite.
In addition to the bedrooms, the ground floor offers three reception rooms, one of which could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom if required.
The ground floor also includes a practical wet room/WC and a superb kitchen/breakfast/dining room. This spacious kitchen, complete with a separate utility area, enjoys double doors opening onto the rear garden, mirroring the lounge, and creates a seamless connection with the outdoor space and the open outlook beyond.
