The frame surrounding the inner door leading to the main hallway is stunning and the Karndean type flooring which extends through most of the ground floor completes the look perfectly. There are various doors leading off and ample storage beneath the stairs. You are immediately impressed by the amount of natural light circulating within the hallway courtesy of an incredibly large window on the half landing as you ascend to the first floor.

The first main door leads to a glorious open plan dining-living-kitchen area which is the perfect place in which to entertain family and friends. The dining end is furnished with Karndean type wood-effect flooring which leads into the carpeted lounge. A pair of French doors with glass panels to either side allow a huge amount of natural light into the room in addition to capturing wonderful garden views. A further window takes advantage of the front garden vista. This stunning room flows freely into the kitchen-breakfasting room which is suffused in natural light, with the bi-fold doors presenting another opportunity for you to enjoy those glorious rear garden views whilst three large windows behind the sink and a window to the opposite side also capture views over the wrap-around gardens.

The kitchen offers plenty of wall and base units with a white high gloss handle-less door complemented a grey granite worksurface with a matching upstand. There is a bowl and a half sink, with a boiling hot water tap, dropped into the work surface with a drainer cut into the side, a fully integrated full-height fridge, a larder pullout, drawer packs, a corner carousel unit, a full size fully integrated NEFF dishwasher, fully integrated waste receptacles and two eye level NEFF ‘Great British Bake-off’ style ovens. The centre island, with further storage, incorporates a four burner AEG induction hob beneath an extractor fan extending down from the ceiling. The island then drops down into a granite dining area working in perfect harmony with the kitchen work surfaces. A pantry, with loft access, leads from the kitchen and offers further storage and houses a freezer.

Three windows allow plenty of natural light to enter and the space is finished with non-slip flooring and a good number of switches and sockets.

The ground floor WC is another superb asset as it negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities.

The brick slips form a wonderful feature, and a window overlooks the front with artificial lighting by way of ceiling spotlights.
