Substantial detached home with double garage in sought-after location.

Description

This beautifully presented and generously proportioned detached home offers over 2,700 sq. ft. of versatile living space, tucked away in a peaceful and highly sought-after position. Set behind a paved driveway with a detached double garage, the property includes five spacious double bedrooms, five bathrooms, and three reception rooms, with the added bonus of a separate studio space above the garage that would be ideal for a home office or guest accommodation.

On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance hall features an open ceiling up to the first-floor galleried landing and a striking oak and glass staircase. To the left is a study and cloakroom, while to the right, internal French doors open into a generous sitting room with oak flooring and bi-fold doors leading out to the rear garden. The kitchen/dining room is stylishly appointed with sleek cabinetry, stone worktops, integrated appliances, and ample space for dining, with French doors opening onto the terrace. A utility room off the kitchen provides additional storage and appliance space, along with access to the side of the property.

Upstairs, the first floor houses four double bedrooms, each with air-conditioning. Two of the bedrooms benefit from modern en suite shower rooms, while the remaining rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with bath and separate shower. A further staircase leads to the top floor where a substantial bedroom suite occupies the entire level, complete with four Velux windows, air-conditioning, and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and contemporary fittings.

Separate from the main house, the garage block provides additional accommodation. A private entrance hall on the ground floor gives access to both a shower room and the double garage, while stairs lead up to a spacious and bright room that could serve as a studio, home office, or sixth bedroom.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a sunny south-easterly aspect and offers a well-maintained lawn and paved terrace, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The property is accessed via a shared gravel driveway and benefits from ample off-street parking.
