General Description
This beautifully presented Carridean Homes four-bedroom residence is a truly exceptional family home. Finished to an incredibly high standard its exquisite contemporary interior strikes the perfect balance between refined elegance and everyday comfort to create a residence that is as luxurious as it is warm and inviting. Framed by a sweeping driveway and neat front lawn, this remarkable home opens into a grand entrance vestibule and hallway adorned with parquet flooring, ambient lighting, and a crisp neutral palette, setting an elegant tone for the interiors beyond. To the right, glazed French doors reveal a captivating dual-aspect living and dining room. Featuring a soaring double-height ceiling, skylights, and sliding garden doors, this spectacular space is enhanced by parquet flooring, a log-burning stove, and louvred shutters. The result is a perfect blend of warmth and understated sophistication. Thoughtfully designed to function either as one expansive living and reception area or two distinct zones, as styled by the current owners, it offers excellent versatility. Across the hall, the west-facing dining kitchen provides an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. With direct access to the rear garden, it centres around a focal island with seating for four and handcrafted bespoke cabinetry in natural hues, complemented by white Silestone worktops. A suite of high-spec integrated appliances includes an induction hob, ceiling-mounted extractor, dishwasher, eye-level oven and grill, and American-style fridge/freezer. Bright and airy, the space with a light-filled and comfortable seating area is finished in fresh white tones and a continuation of the parquet flooring. A spacious utility room echoes the kitchen's design, offering additional storage and convenient access to the integrated double garage. Completing the array of reception areas is a versatile dual-aspect sitting room currently used as a home gym with sliding doors opening onto the garden. A guest WC by Peden & Pringle, featuring a TOTO remote-controlled washlet, completes the ground floor. The staircase, dressed in refined herringbone carpeting, leads to a light-filled first-floor landing and hallway. Here, three beautifully appointed double bedrooms await. The carpeted principal suite is a luxurious retreat, with built-in wardrobes and French doors opening to a west-facing Juliet balcony framing a freestanding bath. An underfloor heated en-suite shower room is exquisitely finished in porcelain tile, with a wall-hung hidden cistern TOTO washlet, integrated wall-hung vanity, ceramic towel rail, and an expansive Keuco ceiling-mounted rainfall shower. Two of the double bedrooms benefit from bespoke en-suite shower rooms, all executed to the same high standard. One features an enviable dressing room whilst another has been fitted with custom-made cabinetry. Designed with modern comfort and efficiency in mind, the home is further enhanced by high-spec conference telecoms and a dedicated internet line ideal for home working.

EXTERIOR
Utterly captivating, the fully enclosed landscaped and Mediterranean-inspired rear garden is a true showpiece and an idyllic setting for relaxed entertaining and family days.

At its heart lies a manicured lawn, complemented by a bespoke garden boules court framed by olive trees. Three expansive alfresco seating areas, laid in luxurious sandstone paving, provide perfect sun-soaked spots for dining, lounging, and memorable gatherings.

A highlight is the self-contained, timber-clad guest house, discreetly positioned behind raised sleeper beds. Thoughtfully designed, it comprises an open-plan living room and kitchen, two light and airy double bedrooms, and a modern shower room.
