A large driveway first greets you, offering generous parking options with an electric car charging point already in situ, leading up to an integral garage with electric door and a deep entrance porch. The reception hall is exceptionally spacious with a feature open stairwell and glass balustrade, good sized coats cupboard, cloakroom and study offering a front aspect view over the driveway.

The wow moment comes when you pass beyond the hallway to the rear of the house, where the accommodation opens up into a large open plan family space. The heart of the home; triple aspect, 36’6 wide, with large roof lantern and both bi-folding and large sliding patio doors onto a south facing garden, the light in this room is phenomenal. The spaces within can be moved and shaped to suit your family needs, whilst still offering clearly defined kitchen, dining and lounge areas. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and it suits this open plan reception space perfectly. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with a large central island/breakfast bar and generous storage options. Complimenting this is a separate utility room with additional fridge/freezer and dishwasher and space/plumbing for a tumble dryer and washing machine. There is an integral door into the garage as well as a side door to the garden.

The final room on the ground floor is a double aspect family room with bi-folding doors out onto a deep paved patio which extends across the whole of the rear of the house to the kitchen. A great space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Heading to the first floor there is a superb master bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room featuring twin sinks and a walk in shower. A vaulted ceiling and large south facing picture window allow both views over the rear garden to be enjoyed and natural light to fill the room.

There is a guest double bedroom with en suite shower room and built in wardrobe, and then three further double bedrooms which share a spacious and modern family bath/shower room.

The house benefits from a plot in excess of 1/3rd of an acre, with the gardens predominantly falling to the rear of the house. Extending across the rear of the property is an extensive paved terrace with steps down to a substantial lawn. The garden is south facing, enjoying sun all day long, and thanks to mature hedging and planting is incredibly private. There is more than enough space for a family to play, whilst offering scope to be further landscaped if desired. Home offices are increasingly popular these days and this could easily be accommodated if desired without compromising on garden space.
