The house is in immaculate condition and ready to move into immediately!

A stable door opens into the garden outside. Off the kitchen is a spacious utility room that in turn leads to an integral double garage. Between the dining area and the kitchen is a space for a cosy sofa ideal for relaxing and watching TV! The dining area opens into a really good sized sitting room with built in shelving and a Charnwood wood burner set into a recessed fireplace. French doors open onto the terrace and the gardens beyond. This is a really elegant room and full of light.
Upstairs is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room, four further bedrooms (three doubles and one single) and a family bathroom. All the rooms have fitted carpets and lovely views of the gardens below and at the rear to a field behind the house. Windows are double glazed with oak sills.
