The ground floor comprises a cozy, characterful living room anchored by a feature wood-burning stove, creating a perfect focal point for relaxation. This flows seamlessly into a well-proportioned kitchen-diner, which in turn leads to a delightful sun room—an ideal spot to enjoy views of the grounds throughout the seasons. Upstairs, the property provides two generously sized bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom, ensuring comfort for guests or residents alike.

Outside, the property benefits from a well insulated garage and private parking for several vehicles to the front and a beautifully established, mature garden to the rear.

Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
