The ground floor features a spacious living room with an attractive bay window and characterful fireplace, along with an additional sitting room that opens out to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast area offers ample space for culinary creativity and includes a walk-in pantry for extra utility. Moving upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for family living or guest accommodations. Outside, the property boasts extensive gardens exceeding 250ft in length, featuring mature trees and shrubs that create a tranquil atmosphere. A paved patio space complements the garden's natural beauty, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxing in privacy. With off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a detached garage, this property presents significant renovation potential coupled with a desirable location.
