This room provides an ideal setting for entertaining, with ample space to accommodate a large dining table, sideboards, and other freestanding furniture.

Currently configured to include an office, playroom, shower room, and two additional bedrooms, this space lends itself well to use as a self-contained area for children, or could easily be transformed into a luxurious master suite, complete with triple-aspect views and its own spacious shower room.

One of the current bedrooms benefits from a single bed and fitted wardrobes, while the final bedroom enjoys an abundance of natural light thanks to its dual-aspect positioning, with windows to the front and side offering far-reaching views.

Externally, the rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedgerows and fencing, providing a safe and private space ideal for children or pets.
