A contemporary family bathroom with full bathroom suite completes this level. A few steps up leads to a lovely square landing providing space for bookshelves and a cosy reading nook or desk. Two additional double bedrooms are positioned to the front, both benefitting from views over the front garden.

Garden:
The property is approached via a paved driveway providing off-street parking for two cars, bordered by a neat lawn and framed by mature beech hedging, with a striking magnolia tree taking pride of place at the front. Two gated, partially covered side passages provide convenient access to the rear garden — a true highlight of this home.
Measuring approximately 85 feet in length, the rear garden is a beautifully landscaped and a wonderfully private retreat. An expansive patio area, directly accessed from the dining room, offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining, barbecues, or summer entertaining. A charming wisteria-covered fence borders this space, adding seasonal colour and character, while a few steps lead down to the lush rear lawn.
The garden is a horticultural haven, thoughtfully planted with an array of mature trees and flowering plants, including olive, apple, and cherry trees, graceful silver birch, acers, hydrangea, fragrant lavender, and vibrant roses creating a peaceful, ever-changing outdoor backdrop. A wooden shed provides useful storage for tools and equipment, and the inclusion of a robot mower ensures effortless lawn maintenance.
This exceptional garden perfectly complements the home, offering beauty, privacy, and functionality in equal measure.
