Natural light fills the space through the double doors and window that overlook the westerly facing garden beyond. To the corner is a handy storage cupboard, which leads to a further cupboard underneath the stairs and access to the cellar beneath the kitchen. The brace and latch door to the right of this cupboard is the stairs which lead up to a striking landing with vaulted ceiling, skylight and exposed beams.

On the right of the landing is a walk-in storage cupboard, ideal for use as a walk-in wardrobe. The front bedroom features a high, partially vaulted ceiling which adds to the sense of space within this room. Fitted wardrobes provide ample storage space while the electric blinds offer convenience.

The rear bedroom also features fitted wardrobes and two windows that take in attractive views of the garden.

From here a gate leads into the garden where you will find a gravel path running to the side of an extensive lawn, that leads up to the house and paved patio terrace. There is space for dining, seating or lounging and is the perfect spot to enjoy the southerly aspect at the side and the summer sunsets to the rear.
