This beautiful and highly individual five bedroom detached home nestles within a prestigious cul-de-sac close to the heart of the village and offers over 2,600 sq ft of spacious, interchangeable accommodation set over three floors.

Approach to the home is onto a hard standing block paved driveway allowing parking for two to three vehicles, whilst directly ahead is a garage accessed via an up and over door. The front perimeter is enclosed by mature lawn with an abundance of shrubs and bushes. An attractive storm porch with brick surround frames the home beautifully, beyond which a solid front door opens into the entrance hall. This is a superb space which has a dogleg staircase leading to a galleried first floor landing, in addition to a flagstone tiled floor and exposed feature brick wall. A useful cloakroom sits to one side which has been fitted with a two-piece suite comprising of a cistern concealed wc and wash hand basin. Positioned to the rear of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room which has an extensive range of solid wood base units with darker contrasting black Granite work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a Range cooker set within a brick surround and dishwasher, whilst a central island unit offers additional storage, countertop capacity as well as integrated vegetable baskets. Ample space has been afforded for a table and chairs, ensuring a real family/sociable area and a continuation of the same flagstone flooring runs across the entirety of the room, tying the two spaces together seamlessly. A stunning large Oak beam characterises the room further still, whilst a window and French doors glance out across the rear garden. A separate utility room has a range of matching units and work tops with an integrated fridge/freezer as well as space for a free-standing washing machine. To the other side of the house is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 18'1ft by 12'6ft with an impressive inglenook fireplace with inset burner, raised hearth and chunky wooden mantle over. Wide Oak flooring has been laid and French doors open into the garden, flooding the room with an abundance of natural daylight. The second reception room occupies the front aspect and is currently employed as a more formal dining room, although could easily be utilised as a playroom/snug, with an attractive beamed ceiling. Completing this level is a study which overlooks the front and is the perfect work from home space.

Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, in addition to a second staircase to the top floor. The second bedroom, size wise, sits to the rear and enjoys dimensions extending to 14'9ft by 12'10ft, whilst bedroom three sits to the front. Interestingly, they both share a stylish Jack and Jill en-suite which has been fitted with a three-piece suite comprising of a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. Modern grey tiles have been added to the splashback areas and floor, whilst the look is finished with a ladder radiator. Of the remaining two bedrooms, one sits to the front and the other to the rear and are serviced by a family bathroom comprising of a panelled bath, low level wc and wash hand basin. Light coloured tiles have been installed on the walls, incorporating a mosaic design in places, in addition to a ladder radiator, shaver socket and obscure window.

The top floor is a stylish space given over to the master suite. Attractive curved ceilings with recessed ceiling spotlights running down the centre contemporise the area, whilst three large Velux windows stream the room with natural daylight. A comprehensive range of wardrobes and a dressing table have been fitted providing ample storage. To one side a generous en-suite comprises of a free-standing tub, separate shower tray with rain head attachment, low level wc and wash hand basin mounted onto a stylish vanity plinth. Light, modern mottled tiles adorn the wall and floors, whilst a heated towel rail, recessed ceiling spotlights and Velux window complete the look.

Externally the rear garden has been executed with real interest in mind. It offers a tiered design with a good-sized patio as you initially step out, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. From here steps lead up to a predominately lawned area with borders housing various shrubs and bushes, with an additional patio/terrace to one corner. Beyond here raised planters command further foliage in the shape of mature greenery, whilst timber fencing encloses the boundary.
