General Description
Blending an abundance of space and light with the highest-quality finishes, an elegant interior design and a spectacular south-east-facing rear garden, Bay Trees is an exceptional six-bedroom family home. A pathway flanked by a neat lawn guides you to a welcoming covered porch and into a warm and inviting hallway adorned with plush carpeting and neutral wall finishes. Passing a bright and versatile double bedroom currently fashioned as a comfortable study, you’re welcomed through double doors into an impressive south-east-facing living room. This spacious, carpeted room is filled with natural light and opens onto the garden through elegant French doors, creating an ideal space for entertaining and unwinding. At its heart, a living flame fireplace set within a grand brick chimney breast is bordered on each side by recessed windows, adding charm and balance to the room’s understated yet sophisticated design. Diagonally opposite and looking through twin windows to the front of the property a formal dining room is the perfect place for hosting family gatherings and creating memories. Central to the home is a stunning, design-led kitchen that flows seamlessly into a south-east-facing sitting area with garden access. Handsome wooden flooring runs throughout, while white and black gloss handleless units are set against smooth grey countertops for a clean, contemporary look. High-spec integrated Siemens appliances include an eye-level grill and oven, large hob, and a slanted extractor hood. From the kitchen, a well-appointed utility offers further storage and access to the side of the home. A partial counter extension subtly separates the kitchen from the sitting area, which is generously proportioned and filled with natural light ideal for dining, relaxing, and everyday living. The ground floor is completed by a guest WC with gold-effect hardware, a hidden cistern WC, and washbasin built into vanity. Ascending the elegant central staircase, you arrive at a galleried landing, beautifully lit by a portrait window with a half-moon feature. From here, you step into an outstanding principal double bedroom. Generously proportioned, French doors in the adjoining dressing area open onto a Juliet balcony, offering a serene south-east outlook over the rear garden and flooding the space with natural light. The result is a luxurious and tranquil retreat. A tasteful décor, built-in partially mirrored wardrobes, and a sumptuous en-suite shower room elevate the space. The latter is thoughtfully appointed with a rectangular washbasin atop a wall-hung vanity, WC, and a walk-in shower set against calming grey and natural-toned tiles. A second double bedroom features partially mirrored built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Three additional double bedrooms, all with integrated storage, complete the upper floor. They share a modern family bathroom, finished in soothing greys and whites and featuring metro tiles, a hidden-cistern WC, washbasin built into vanity, rainfall shower enclosure, bathtub, and a matte black towel radiator.

EXTERIOR
Beautifully landscaped and tucked away behind manicured hedges, the expansive south-east-facing rear garden is a private oasis. A lush, well-kept lawn leads to a stunning walled alfresco area that combines spacious paving with raised decking, the latter framed by a sleek glass and stainless-steel balustrade. This stylish outdoor retreat offers multiple serene spots to relax or entertain in elegance. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet moments, it’s an ideal setting. For gardening enthusiasts, the inclusion of a greenhouse adds yet another layer of appeal.

To the front, a well-kept lawn borders the driveway and detached double garage.
