Additional Information - At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bespoke cabinetry by House of Elliott of York. Features include hand-painted units, a central island with breakfast bar, pantry storage, Quooker tap, and striking Calacatta Jade quartz worktops. The adjoining family area includes a built-in media unit, log-burning stove, and French doors opening to the west-facing garden terrace. A separate sitting room has an open fire within a traditional cast-iron fireplace and natural light from a west facing window. A utility/laundry/boot room provides ample storage and practical space, and a cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms with high ceilings are arranged around a central landing. The master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a sleek en suite shower room. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, with a roll-top bath and stylish fittings.

Outside - A gravelled driveway leads to a block-paved forecourt in front of the detached double garage (with power, light, and pantile roof). The expansive rear garden is a highlight – fully enclosed, mainly laid to lawn, and bordered by mature trees and hedges. Two paved terraces, one west-facing and another adjacent to the home office/studio, provide options for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

The timber-built home office features windows and double doors and offers excellent potential as a studio or work-from-home space.
