The recently renovated interior delivers spacious, light-filled living with an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a large central island — ideal for family meals and entertaining. Three further reception rooms plus two garden rooms provide flexible space for home working, gyms or playrooms.

The generous plot offers excellent privacy and outdoor potential for landscaping or children's play space.
The home is in excellent condition throughout after recent renovation, and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a garage with driveway parking. Practical notes: the EPC is grade D and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated (as-built), so further insulation work could improve efficiency. Council tax is relatively high, reflecting the affluent area.
