The elevations are of painted brick with cedar cladding on the rear elevation.

The entrance hall is bright and open, guiding you through to a central hallway.

The ground floor is predominantly made up of two large, open rooms which are filled with a plethora of light from the south facing windows.

To one end is the L-shaped, triple aspect, drawing room, part of which is currently used as a music area and features an unusual, full-height window which protrudes outwards over the garden offering fantastic views and gives the illusion of being outside.

On the other side of the room is a charming sitting area with a wood-burning stove which is set back within a large alcove.

The dual-aspect master bedroom suite occupies the easterly end of the first floor and has an array of built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom with standalone bath and twin basins.

Sliding doors on the southern wall open on to a flat roof above the playroom.

The south-facing garden offers privacy and space and wraps around the house to the west where there is an enclosed vegetable garden and seating area which captures the evening sun.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn with carefully planted flower beds and a wooden terrace leading from the breakfast room and playroom.

The current owners have installed two timber buildings in the garden, both with wood-burning stoves and electricity.

The summerhouse has the feel of a spacious beach hut, painted in light pastels, and has been used in various ways including a study.

To one side of the summerhouse is a beautiful terraced patio set beneath a pergola covered in wisteria and white climbing roses.

In the south-west corner of the garden is the studio, which is the most recent addition.

Currently set up as a seating area, it would make an ideal den for older children/teenagers.
