The current owner has transformed the house with a programme of full refurbishment resulting in beautifully presented accommodation throughout and all finished to the highest possible standard.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall with Karndean flooring and a refitted cloakroom w.c.

The sitting room and dining room boast feature vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers, wood flooring and a feature open fireplace in the sitting room area. The dining room also boasts French doors out to the rear garden. The kitchen has been refitted with contemporary, handless cabinetry complemented by quartz work surfaces with an inset one and a half sink unit with a mixer tap and drainer and a range of integral appliances, which include an induction hob, oven, extractor, dishwasher, drinks fridge plus a cubboard housing a wall-mounted oil-fired central heating boiler.
Off the inner hallway are three double bedrooms, a luxury refitted family bathroom and an ensuite shower room to the master bedroom.
Outside, the property is set back and screened from the road and accessed via a private gravelled driveway, which leads to a generous parking area, which would accommodate several vehicles and leads to the detached double garage with separate up-and-over doors, power and light connected. Gated access leads to the sunny side and lawned gardens, complemented by a generous raised, paved patio terrace, which is ideal for alfresco dining. There is a side storage area and all enjoys excellent levels of privacy and seclusion.
