Perfectly blending attractive period features such as stained glass with a stunning contemporary interior and extensive gardens, the property is a wonderful family home, ready to move straight into.The front door opens into a vestibule, which in turn leads into the elegant entrance hallway, with parquet flooring, arched coving over stairs rising up to the first floor and a door into the sitting room off to the right. The sitting room is decorated in relaxing tones with a sophisticated square bay window complete with cushioned window seat; an ideal reading nook, ornate cornicing and ceiling rose, and an original hardwood and tiled fireplace with gas fire.

The dining space offers a most delightful picture window at the head of the table, affording a view straight out onto the lawn and making inside dining feel al fresco no matter what the weather. The kitchen benefits from a range of bespoke wall and floor units, integrated appliances and a vast island bench, perfect for breakfasting and entertaining in the light flooding in through a second set of sliding doors to the garden.

A handy downstairs WC also opens off the utility room and a door leads into a good storage space, behind the original garage door.
To the first floor are four beautifully presented double bedrooms, all with leafy, green views and two with charming feature fireplaces.

A gorgeous children’s play house sits at the end of the garden, along with a small shed, and a further larger shed beside the house makes ideal storage for garden equipment and bicycles.
