The Heart of the Home – Open Plan Kitchen/Family Room/Lounge

Step into the heart of the home – the stunning open plan kitchen/family room/lounge. This thoughtfully designed space maximizes light and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Featuring bifold doors that open onto the landscaped garden, it offers a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Despite being open plan, the lounge area still feels distinct, with a stylish, panelled wall providing an elegant separation. Perfect for both relaxation and entertaining, the space also includes a utility room and a walk-in larder cupboard for added convenience.

The high-quality kitchen is a true showstopper. It features an abundance of wall and base units, modern surfaces, and plenty of cupboards and drawers – making it ideal for cooking enthusiasts. The kitchen is fully equipped with an inset ceramic white sink, bespoke space for a double fridge freezer, integrated double oven, and an integral hob with a tiled surround and extractor hood above. Spotlights and a skylight provide additional lighting, further enhancing the bright and airy feel. The large bifold doors span the length of the room, allowing natural light to flood in and offering a beautiful view of the garden.

Three Generously Sized Double Bedrooms

The current owners’ extensive reconfiguration and extension work have allowed for a third bedroom, making this home an even more attractive option for families. All three double bedrooms offer enough space to accommodate double beds and house further furniture, two of them even have fitted storage already present. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with a modern shower cubicle, fully tiled surrounds, a wash hand basin with storage beneath, and a low-level W.C. Bedroom two is also a comfortable double room. The family bathroom has been fully renovated to a high standard, now featuring a tiled surround, a bath with a shower over, a wall-mounted wash hand basin, obscure double glazing to the side aspect, and a low-level W.C.

Convenient Storage and Layout

The large entrance hall adds to the home’s welcoming feel and includes handy storage cupboards, ensuring everything has its place.

Exterior and Garden

Externally, the owners have invested considerable time and effort into creating a beautifully landscaped yet low-maintenance rear garden. The large patio area with stone borders rises to a lawn area, complete with a decked corner featuring power – ideal for a barbecue area, hot tub, or outdoor entertaining during the warmer months. The driveway provides ample parking space, and the front of the property has undergone a complete makeover, including new windows, a new front door, and more.

Additional Features

The garage has been partially converted, with heavy insulation and power supplied to create a versatile space. Currently used as a gym by the owners, it offers endless potential as a home office, studio, or additional storage space.
