On the first floor is the master bedroom suite comprising a large double bedroom with stunning Velux balcony window allowing for far reaching views and an ideal place to watch sunsets over the garden, a walk-in wardrobe, and a modern wet room.

Outside

The property is approached over a smart brick paved apron and then wooden gates to the spacious gravelled parking area with room for six or more vehicles. To one side is an ‘over-sized’ triple garage and open car barn that can provide cover for a caravan or campervan. To the side of this is an attached storage shed with open storage behind. Pathways along each side of the property are gated (one side sealed) and provide access to the rear.
The rear garden is a true delight and extends over 80m ( 265ft ) into Pensbury Woods. Across the full width of the property, and accessible from all the main reception rooms is the large ( 750 sq.ft ) paved terrace incorporating an elegant metal balustrade and arch over steps down to an area of lawn edged with mature borders planted with a variety of shrubs and bushes. Stone steps lead down again to a second area of lawn with a feature circular pond and fountain. This part of the garden also features mature borders and hedging, a small shed and a quirky tiled former summerhouse where you can read a book and enjoy a coffee. More steps lead down to the orchard of apple and pear trees, and to the woods beyond. In all the plot extends to nearly 0.6 acre.
