There's space for an American-style fridge/freezer and a gas range beneath an inset extractor hood. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and microwave oven. Travertine flooring runs throughout, and a cast iron log burner sits on a tiled hearth beneath an oak mantel within the dining area. The room is further enhanced by two Velux windows at the rear and bi-fold doors to the garden. The kitchen opens into a snug, which includes a sash window, custom-built low-level cabinets with shelves above, an open fire with a marble mantel, and underfloor heating. A hallway with Travertine flooring and underfloor heating connects to the gym, which also features underfloor heating, and a sash window with fitted shutters. The cloakroom has a Velux window and a modern white suite with a low-level WC and washbasin with vanity unit. The boot room and utility area offer custom-built, floor-to-ceiling cabinets with space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher, and dryer.

      Upstairs, the landing has a sash window at the front which fills the space with natural light. The principal bedroom includes a sash window looking over the rear garden, and the en suite shower room is fitted with a modern white suite, including a WC, washbasin, and a walk-in shower. There are three further double bedrooms with the two front bedrooms benefiting from built in wardrobes. The family bathroom has been beautifully refurbished and now offers a stand-alone bath, wash basin with vanity unit, separate walk in shower and low level WC.

      Outside, a private driveway to the side of the house with electric wooden gates leads to the rear of the property and up to the annexe building which is in need of completing but is designed to be a one bedroom with living area and bathroom. The garden is primarily laid to lawn, with raised beds, flower and shrub borders, a raised deck, and a spacious paved patio offer a great entertaining space. To the rear of the garden there is a further large garden store and log store.
