The dining kitchen is a delightful space featuring a range of Shaker-style units, an integrated dishwasher, an electric AGA, and ample room for a dining table.
The two adjacent reception rooms are bright and welcoming, each featuring herringbone flooring and dual aspects that flood the rooms with natural light. A step up from the kitchen leads to the main living room, which features a charming Inglenook fireplace, access to the main staircase, and a door leading into a cosy snug. The snug, with its own door to the front of the property, also gives access to a secondary staircase.

The main staircase rises from the central living room to a landing that leads to two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a shared bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, wash basin, and low-flush WC. The second staircase, accessed from the snug, leads to a further double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
Outside - The property enjoys a plot that wraps around three sides, featuring both front and rear gardens. A gravel driveway, accessed via double timber gates, leads to a stone-built oversized single garage and provides ample off-road parking.
The south-facing front garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by a traditional dry-stone wall. To the rear, a lawned garden is also enclosed by a dry-stone wall and includes a sunken patio-perfect for outdoor entertaining.
