high-quality modern fixtures and fittings.

Extending to nearly 5,500 sq. ft., the accommodation is wonderfully adaptable,offering the potential for a grand family home with up to eight bedrooms, or a principal four/five-bedroom residence with a self-contained three-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or as a lucrative

The grounds include a triple garage, a charming veranda, and a raised deck with inset hot tub, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
