A RURAL RETREAT

Pull onto the large gravel driveway which provides ample parking or make use of the garage with oak car port. Tall hedging to the front and side offers privacy and seclusion. Make your way indoors, emerging into a stylishly tiled entrance porch and onwards into the light-filled hallway, where the subtle muted shades of this modern home are first revealed, complemented by chic oak detailing.

DESIGNED FOR LIFE

Immediately drawing you towards the garden through the expanse of bifold doors, the open plan kitchen diner is the sociable hub of the home. Whether it's a frosty morning or sultry summer evening, this modern and stylish room is the ideal retreat where friends and family will naturally gather at the start and end of the day. A contemporary design with a central island unit makes this kitchen one to enjoy. With wall mounted units, fitted worktops and double ovens, the kitchen provides space, convenience, and storage in abundance. Light flourishes in through windows in the vaulted roof, with bifold doors opening to the large terrace to the rear framing those special rural views. To keep your kitchen chore and clutter free, there is a separate laundry room with door to the side and a guest cloakroom. Next, time to discover the family snug, with media wall containing fitted shelving and storage. French doors continue the home's seamless connection to the garden and beyond.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

Follow the flow from the kitchen into the sitting room – a bright area for the whole family to relax and unwind throughout the year. Open the French doors and let in the summer breeze or cosy up by the wood burner come winter. Remote workers and studious teens will gravitate to the quiet study. With a window to the front aspect, a fitted desk and drawers make this the perfect place in which to be creative. CAT6 Ethernet is fitted throughout the home, ensuring fast and reliable internet for the whole family. Stow away coats and shoes in the understairs walk-in storage cupboard.

SOAK AND SLEEP

Ascend the split-level staircase to the first floor landing, capturing sight of the paddock and views beyond. Two large cupboards provide excellent space to tidy away laundry. The first three appealing double bedrooms can be discovered with breath-taking views out over the garden and green fields. Refresh and revive in the family bathroom; soak the day away in the deep bathtub or for those busier mornings step into the large walk-in shower with rainfall head.

GARDEN DELIGHTS

Perfectly private, the outdoor space at No. 10 Whitwell Road seems to blend into the rolling fields beyond. Soak up the sunshine on the wide terrace with a large, lush lawn planted with mature hedging. There is also a beautiful summer house to enjoy throughout the seasons and to tuck yourself away to enjoy the evening sunsets.
