Northacre is a detached, modern country house that combines traditional character with contemporary design, finished to a high standard throughout.

The triple-aspect sitting room features a wood-burning stove and French doors out to the garden terrace.
Between the sitting room and kitchen, there is a capacious reception hall which could easily be utilised as a formal dining room if desired. The stairs lead up from here to the first-floor landing.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite, which includes a generous double bedroom with exceptional views, a dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Completing this floor, two further double bedrooms also enjoy recently updated en suite bathrooms, and a further set of stairs rises to the second floor, which hosts two additional double bedrooms and a new, beautifully-appointed family bathroom.
The property offers ample storage throughout and is presented in excellent decorative order, having been maintained to beautiful standards.
