You are welcomed in via an attractive arched porch and solid timber front door with glazed panels, allowing natural light to flood the entrance hall and immediately setting the tone for what’s to come. The lounge sits to the front of the home and is a fantastic space, featuring a large bay window, exposed painted floorboards and a stunning Regency-style open fireplace — a real focal point. The separate dining room continues the theme with another open fire and cast iron fireplace, making it a brilliant room for entertaining or cosy evenings in. Opposite this room before you enter the kitchen is the downstairs cloakroom cleverly positioned under the stairs.

To the rear, the kitchen/family room is the real hub of the home and has been thoughtfully opened up to create a superb social space. A range of wall and base units run along one side, complemented by granite worktops and a double enamel sink, whilst a Rangemaster oven sits proudly within a recessed chimney breast, flanked by built-in cupboards. The room flows effortlessly into a breakfast area and further seating space, perfect for modern family living. Bi-fold doors open out onto the rear patio, with an additional glazed door leading to the side garden, seamlessly connecting inside and out.

Up on the first floor, the landing is bright and well laid out. Bedroom three sits to the rear with an impressive ceiling height, feature fireplace and built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms four and five are both good-sized rooms with exposed floorboards and a lovely outlook towards the woodland. The family bathroom is well appointed with bath and overhead shower, WC and basin. Bedroom two is a particularly generous and light room, again with a cast iron feature fireplace and built-in storage. A useful first-floor utility room adds further practicality, with space and plumbing for appliances.

The second floor is dedicated largely to the principal suite, creating a real retreat. The bedroom itself enjoys dual aspects via a Velux window to the front and a window to the rear, with a dressing area and walk-in wardrobe. The en-suite is a standout feature, finished with vibrant tiles, a freestanding oval bath with rain shower over, WC and basin. There is also a quirky and useful study/craft room accessed via wooden ladder steps, complete with Velux window.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front is a lawned garden with access leading through to the rear via the garage, along with a driveway and garage with power. The rear garden has been thoughtfully divided into sections, starting with a patio and shingled seating area, complete with BBQ space and a raised feature pond — ideal for entertaining. Beyond this, a pathway leads across a lawned area to a fantastic garden cabin.

The ‘Nordic’ cabin (approximately 4m x 4m) is a real bonus and offers incredible flexibility, having previously been used as an Airbnb and therapy space. It includes a bedroom/sitting area, kitchenette with sink and electrics, plus a shower room with WC. From here, steps lead out onto a decked area overlooking the river and woodland, creating a peaceful and private setting. To the side, a further lawned garden and shed back directly onto the river and woodland beyond.

Points to Note:

The property has an 8Kw Solar Panel system along with an air source heat pump. There has been full internal wall insulation added in recent years along with an upgraded water heating system.
