An exceptionally bright renovated cupola lights the stairway leading to a bay-windowed bedroom 1 with dual aspect, 3 further double bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room, and a modern family bathroom. There is a bright 1st floor study/maid’s room, and an excellent level of storage throughout along with an extensive insulated floored attic. In addition, all windows are double glazed (fitted in 2011 by Mozolowski & Murray), a new Worchester Bosch boiler was fitted in 2023 and the accessible areas of the ground floor have been insulated with Thermafleece sheep’s wool.
The beautifully landscaped walled rear garden with large patio, mature trees, shrubs and period summerhouse has been immaculately maintained. There is a double detached garage with electric door. The Monoblock driveway with gated access was replaced in 2014 and the front garden is also in excellent order. Simpson & Marwick anticipate this property will be a popular choice for many, so early viewing is highly recommended.
