Residents are also perfectly positioned for highly regarded schools and a thriving community atmosphere.

The welcoming, furnishable entrance hall, finished in rich dark wood flooring, sets the tone for the home’s elegant yet homely atmosphere.

To the rear, a stunning side reception room offers wraparound views of the garden via a bay window and bifold corner doors, allowing the indoor and outdoor living to merge effortlessly. A semi-open plan layout flows from beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room boasting composite marble work surfaces, complete with sleek, handleless cabinetry in a refined mix of white and deep walnut tones, a central island with integrated hob and seating area and a seamless connection to both a formal dining room and an additional family lounge.

A large separate utility room with internal access to the garage, a guest cloakroom, and a ground-floor study with bespoke fitted units, complete the extensive lower-level accommodation.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing, three of which enjoy the benefit of contemporary en-suite shower rooms. A stylish, fully tiled family bathroom and an additional separate WC serve the remaining bedrooms.

The garden is then perfectly framed with stylish slattered fencing and a mix of colour trees and mature bushes.
