Tucked away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, Pine Tops is an exceptional family home that has been extensively remodelled by the current owners to a wonderful specification. Designed to offer the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and privacy, this beautiful residence enjoys an abundance of natural light, well-proportioned accommodation and is surrounded by spacious landscaped gardens. The whole plot extends to an impressive 0.44 acres approximately with parking for several cars and a double garage.

The principal bedroom suite is a haven of relaxation, featuring a freestanding bath, an en-suite shower room, a fitted dressing room, and double doors that open onto a private patio. This level also includes an open-plan office space, a utility room, a W/C, and a storage cupboard, all designed for effortless day-to-day living.

Upstairs, the first floor is bright and spacious, with a generous landing flowing into the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room.
