The principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, matching the reception room in size, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and the flexibility to serve as a second reception if desired. A recently modernised shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.
Externally, a paved path at the property’s entrance offers an intimate outdoor space, perfect for positioning a table and chairs to enjoy the tranquillity of the setting. Off-road parking is for two small cars provided, and the home is positioned among just a handful of neighbouring properties, adding to its exclusivity.
