The property includes four bedrooms, exposed timber beams, full-height windows, and various other attractive fittings and details, creating a thoroughly impressive family home. Serengeti is a stylish detached home, built by its current owners in the early 2000s and featuring highly attractive accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor reception hall provides a welcoming entrance, with tiled flooring, timber beams overhead and access to the spiral staircase, located in a tower at the western end of the property. The ground floor is mostly dedicated to the 27ft open-plan kitchen, dining area and sitting area with its timber beams and bi-fold doors opening onto the upper terrace and affording those beautiful views of the rural landscape. The sitting area has a double-height ceiling with upper windows welcoming abundant natural light, while the woodburning stove helps to create a relaxed and cosy atmosphere.Stairs lead to the lower ground level, where there is a comfortable family room and doors leading to three double bedrooms of similar proportions. Each of the bedrooms has French doors opening onto the lower rear courtyard garden, while the lower ground floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower. The luxury principal bedroom features an en suite shower room and is situated on the mezzanine upper level, among the timber eaves and with a vaulted, timber-clad ceiling overhead.

There is an elevated patio area for al fresco dining and a further paved and gravel terrace at the side, with railway sleeper steps leading through an ornamental garden to the lower level, where there is further terracing outside the three lower double bedrooms.
