Followed by a useful linen cupboard and a spacious fully tiled bathroom featuring a large walk-in mains shower, separate bath, vanity unit and two towel radiators.
On the second floor, the welcoming landing provides access to the attic. The generous principal bedroom offers dual aspect windows and a contemporary ensuite shower room with a walk-in mains shower and twin wash hand basins. Bedroom two also features dual aspect windows and a fresh ensuite shower room, creating a perfect guest or family suite.
Externally, the property enjoys beautifully maintained private grounds, including a rear garden with a laid lawn, established flower beds, an apple tree and a garden shed. The sunny south-facing courtyard is enclosed by a traditional stone boundary wall and includes a charming greenhouse. To the rear, there is a tarmacked driveway with parking for several cars.
The property benefits from gas central heating with underfloor heating to the bathroom and the principal bedroom’s ensuite, and mixed timber windows - predominantly single glazed with secondary glazing, and one triple-glazed window.
