      Inside the property the ground floor provides excellent reception space, accessed from a central dining hall that gives a sociable and flexible layout. A large formal living room has bi-folding doors out to the rear garden and also two side and one front window, giving lovely light and makes it a good entertaining space. A good size separate family/television room leads directly out on to the garden. The kitchen is to the front of the house with two bay windows, a space for everyday dining and a good range of fitted units. The 19ft central dining hallway can be used as a dining room, a snug or desk space for office/homework.

All bathrooms are modern, with the family bathroom being a particularly lovely size with separate bath and shower facilities.

The detached games room is ideal for children, being with light, power and water supply, providing a recreation space that could equally be used as a large home office. There is loft space above this room too.

    Such a great size home, and I love the bonus of the detached games room for when the kids are being noisy!
