High-end integrated appliances include a Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher, a fridge freezer, and a dedicated wine fridge, all seamlessly incorporated. Luxurious leather-finish granite work surfaces provide a tactile and durable workspace, while a large pantry cupboard offers abundant storage. A classic Belfast sink sits beneath a window, offering pleasant views to the front of the property.

The adjoining Dining Area is a spacious and inviting zone, perfect for hosting memorable gatherings. Double doors provide a seamless transition to the large entertaining patio area beyond, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Off the kitchen, a handy Utility Room offers further practicality. It features a butler sink, dedicated space for a washing machine, additional storage cupboards, and a charming stable-style door leading directly to the front driveway.

An Impressive Living Sanctuary

From the open-plan kitchen area, three thoughtfully placed oak steps lead down into the truly impressive Living Area. This is a space designed to inspire, with dramatic vaulted ceilings featuring exposed oak beams and gracefully curved walls that welcome you into this inviting yet grand sanctuary. Large, bespoke bay-shaped windows elegantly frame views across the garden and allow natural light to pour in. Further enhancing the connection with the outdoors, double doors lead to the entertaining space in the garden, flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows on either side. A distinctive circular window on the opposite wall adds another touch of unique architectural flair. As you stand in this magnificent room and look back towards the entrance, you'll appreciate the stunning oak and glass Mezzanine level that elegantly presides over the kitchen and dining space, hinting at the wonders of the first floor.

Comfort is assured by underfloor heating that extends throughout the entire property. Further enhancing the internal environment, a sophisticated heat recovery ventilation system ensures a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air while minimising heat loss, contributing to energy savings & a healthy living space. For ultimate convenience, a central vacuum system is seamlessly integrated into the fabric of the home, making cleaning effortless. Demonstrating a commitment to resource conservation, a rainwater harvesting system is in place, cleverly collecting & supplying water to the toilets, significantly reducing mains water.
