Lovely bright kitchen
This is a house that you can grow into. At ground level there is a lovely bright kitchen cum living room bookended by windows, a bay window to the front and glazed patio doors to the rear leading out to the garden. The sitting room area has an open fire. A breakfast bar divides it from the kitchen. The kitchen is lovely and bright with the sink overlooking the garden.

On the other side of the hall there is a good-size dining room with marble fireplace that matches the one in the sitting room, built-in bookcases and a pair of frosted glass doors that open into a bright study.

On the first floor there are four good-size bedrooms, two of which have shower en suite bathrooms. There is also a bright bathroom overlooking the north-facing back garden.

A set of stairs takes you to the roomy converted attic that could be used as a playroom or den.

The house doesn’t stop there. Under the stairs is a door that leads down to a fantastic basement – very American in style with a large lounge that is the depth of the house. There is also a study, toilet and utility room.

The north-facing back garden is private but small when compared to the footprint of the house. There is off-street parking for several cars.
