**Accommodation**
The property welcomes you through a charming vestibule, offering practical space for coats and shoes, before opening into the main hallway. A real sense of grandeur is created by the flagstone flooring and stained glass door, setting the tone and providing an impressive introduction to the home. From the hall, stairs ascend to the upper floors, while the ground floor accommodation extends naturally from this central space. Immediately off the hallway is the lounge, a spacious dual-aspect reception room filled with natural light and enhanced by high ceilings, creating an elegant and formal living space. Steps lead down to the heart of the home, where the open-plan kitchen/dining area flows through to the conservatory, forming a superb family and social space, ideal for cooking, entertaining and enjoying meals together. The conservatory is a great-sized, versatile space with underfloor heating and lovely views over the garden. French doors open directly outside, making it an easy, everyday space. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, base and drawer units with generous worktop surfaces, complemented by a Belfast sink and a selection of integrated appliances including a double oven, hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A central island incorporates a wine cooler and additional preparation space, further enhancing the kitchen’s practicality and entertaining appeal. From here, a hallway provides access to a useful utility room fitted with wall units and plumbing for laundry facilities. Adjacent to this is a further reception room offering excellent flexibility; currently used by our clients as a ground floor bedroom, but equally well suited to use as a home office, studio or playroom.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing, which serves four light and bright bedrooms along with the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property and benefits from its own en suite shower room. An adjoining room, currently used as a bedroom, could be incorporated as a dressing room, creating a fabulous and spacious principal suite. Two further double bedrooms are arranged off the landing, both well proportioned and enjoying plenty of natural light. A well-appointed family bathroom serves this floor featuring an elegant claw-foot bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin and WC, complemented by a heated towel rail and a useful airing cupboard. Finally, stairs lead to the second floor, where two further double bedrooms are located, both showcasing characterful exposed timber beams. Both rooms are generously proportioned; one benefits from built-in cupboards/wardrobes, while the other enjoys high ceilings, excellent built-in storage and the added advantage of its own en suite shower room.

**Identity Verification**
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
