A well presented and charming detached character house tastefully finished to a high standard.

A large double wood burning stove provides a wonderful feature that faces the sitting room on one side and the dining area on the other. Attractive casement windows with bespoke plantation shutters flood the space with natural light.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted wall and base units with solid wood worktops and natural ragstone splashback. There is tiled flooring with electric underfloor heating and a range of integrated appliances including electric oven, 4 ring gas hob, extractor fan, microwave, washing machine and undercounter fridge. A large dining table fits comfortably in the space, while a staircase with beautiful wrought iron banisters leads up to the shower room and continues on to the first floor.
The shower room is particularly stylish with a beautiful selection of tiles including pebble mosaic in the shower area and high-end Philippe Starck fittings throughout. There is electric underfloor heating, a generous walk-in shower with glass screen, low level WC, towel radiator and basin with vanity storage unit.
Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to a large master bedroom suite with generous dressing area. Oak flooring with matching skirting flows throughout and the bedroom area features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. There is a full range of built in wardobes offering plentiful storage.
