From here, the accommodation flows naturally into a cosy snug, also with a log burner, along with a separate office and WC.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully designed for modern family life and entertaining. Centred around a large island with raised breakfast bar, the kitchen is finished with elegant quartz worktops and a range of premium appliances, including a Rangemaster Professional cooker, Perrin & Rowe hot water tap, two integrated Neff dishwashers, and a Samsung American-style fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser. French doors open onto the courtyard, creating a seamless connection to outdoor living and an ideal setting for al fresco dining. There is also a well-appointed walk-in pantry and a generous utility room, providing additional space for laundry appliances.
Beyond the main living areas, the property offers superb leisure facilities within the Coach House, including a bespoke party room with cocktail bar, perfect for hosting, alongside a gym.

Subject to the addition of a kitchenette, it could easily function as a fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation, offering excellent flexibility to suit a range of lifestyle needs.
In total, the property provides six bedrooms, with four located within the main house and two within the Coach House.
