ACCOMMODATION
A striking oak-framed entrance porch with York stone paving provides an impressive first impression, opening into a welcoming reception hall that immediately conveys the quality and attention to detail evident throughout the home.

The generous proportions comfortably accommodate both dining and relaxed seating areas, creating a sociable hub for family life and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the south-facing terrace, seamlessly connecting the interior with the landscaped gardens beyond.
Complementing the principal living spaces is a separate snug, offering excellent flexibility as a family room, television room, or children’s playroom.
A dedicated home office enjoys views across the rear garden and benefits from additional roof lights, creating a bright and productive workspace ideal for modern hybrid working arrangements.
Practicality is equally well considered, with a beautifully fitted boot room featuring bespoke storage, concealed laundry facilities, a porcelain sink, and a charming half stable door providing direct external access. A stylish guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the majority of the ground floor, enhancing comfort while maintaining the clean, uncluttered aesthetic of the interiors.
