Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and inviting hallway that sets the tone for this beautiful home. The hallway includes a convenient downstairs cloakroom and provides access to a formal lounge and a door leading to the cellar, perfect for additional storage.
The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen diner, approximately 30 feet long, featuring high-end fitted appliances, a gorgeous countertop, and a breakfast bar. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, ideal for entertaining. Large patio doors open onto the private rear garden, bringing the outside in and filling the space with natural light. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room.

A beautiful landing with a large window overlooking the garden guides you to the first floor. This level boasts four generously sized double bedrooms, including a master suite with an ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is equipped with a bath and overhead shower, providing a tranquil space to unwind.
Annexe
Back on the ground floor, the hallway leads to a cosy snug, perfect as a playroom or office, which in turn opens into another lounge within the annexe. This versatile space has its own rear access via a porch for added convenience. The annexe also includes an additional fitted kitchen, ideal as a spice kitchen, and another toilet. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a family shower room, making this section of the house perfect for extended family or guests.

On the far side of the house, accessed via a pedestrian door at the rear or from the front off Leicester Road, is a substantial garage block and workshop. This area includes three garage bays and a first-floor studio, currently used for storage, extending to some 33 feet at its longest point, with skylights providing ample natural light.
