Images of the property allow potential buyers the chance to look behind the iron gates and into the home. The home is split across two floors and the ground level benefits from two lounges, a dining room, additional sitting room and kitchen/diner.
The kitchen is fully integrated and benefits from a breakfast bar and access to a separate spacious utility room. One of the family areas has a feature exposed brick fireplace arch and a wood burner. While the other sitting room has double French doors that lead into a garden area.
Throughout the home, it has hard wood flooring, doors and ceiling beams that add to the character of the property. The first floor has all five bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a home office. A family bathroom is also found on this level.
Each bedroom is a double room, many of which have built in storage, dressing areas and views overlooking the two acres of land. Out to the front of the property is a large stoned driveway, that leads onto a lawn and a patio area.
Here there is enough room for outdoor garden furniture. It is also secluded by a brick wall and mature greenary that hides the home from the main road.
