At the heart of the home lies a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen and dining room – a space where form meets function. The kitchen, fitted with quality integrated appliances and centred around a substantial island, flows effortlessly into the dining area, creating an environment that’s ideal for family meals and entertaining alike. French doors open onto both a large, sun-soaked patio and a charming walled courtyard – idyllic spots for morning coffee, summer lunches, or evening gatherings under the stars.

Practicality is woven throughout the layout, with a spacious utility room, boot room, downstairs shower room, and cloakroom – all perfectly tailored to the rhythm of busy family life.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three spacious double bedrooms, each one bathed in natural light and full of individual character. The principal bedroom enjoys leafy views over the garden and includes built-in storage, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves this level with style and function.

The second floor reveals yet more treasures: A generous double bedroom with vaulted ceilings, plus an atmospheric loft room – ideal as a creative studio, reading nook, or quiet retreat. There’s also useful attic storage tucked away, ensuring the home remains as practical as it is beautiful.

Outside, the garden is a haven of tranquillity. Thoughtfully landscaped and fully enclosed, it features manicured lawns, mature borders bursting with colour, and multiple terraces that provide both sun and shade throughout the day. Whether you're hosting friends for alfresco dining, enjoying a glass of wine on the courtyard, or simply watching the seasons change, this is a garden made for living.

The property further benefits from ample driveway parking for up to three vehicles and a substantial double garage – perfect for storage, workshop use, or potential conversion (subject to the necessary permissions).

With its storybook setting, rich architectural heritage, and a layout that embraces modern family life, this enchanting home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Box Village history. Early viewing is highly recommended.
