Step inside to a warm and inviting entrance hallway, beautifully finished with rich wooden flooring, leading to the thoughtfully designed kitchen on the right. This spacious and contemporary kitchen is enhanced by a sleek, space-saving sliding door and boasts a stylish selection of wall and base units, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and rustic wooden shelving—offering generous storage options. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven, electric hob with an extractor hood overhead and dishwasher. There is designated space within the cupboards to accommodate a large American-style fridge freezer, enhancing both the functionality and visual appeal of the kitchen. The layout also allows for a central island or a breakfast table, providing a casual dining area and additional workspace. Thoughtfully designed features include a built-in drinks fridge, an Insinkerator waste disposal system, and a versatile 3-way tap offering instant hot water, filtered water, and standard cold water. Cleverly integrated cupboard inserts ensure optimal organization and easy access to storage, while underfloor heating adds a touch of warmth and comfort during the winter months, creating an inviting and practical space.

The hallway, continuing with elegant rich wooden flooring, flows seamlessly into the impressive 20’ lounge/diner—an inviting space perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. A stylish tiled feature fireplace with an inset wood burner adds a cosy focal point, while French doors at the rear bathe the room in natural light and open directly onto the patio and garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection. The generous proportions easily accommodate a family dining table, and a built-in storage cupboard provides a practical solution for keeping the space neat and organised. The ground floor is completed by a convenient cloakroom, featuring a low-level WC and a pedestal sink. Tucked beneath the stairs, a cleverly designed feature cupboard with clear glass doors adds a unique touch—perfectly suited for stylish wine and drinks storage.

A handcrafted oak wooden staircase leads from the hallway to the first floor, where you'll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, along with a modern family bathroom. The en-suite is fitted with a sleek walk-in shower cubicle, low-level WC, vanity unit with inset basin, and a heated towel rail for added comfort. The family bathroom features a panelled bath, a contemporary vanity unit with an inset basin, and a low-level WC. Thoughtfully maximising the space, the current owners have also incorporated plumbing to accommodate a washing machine and dryer (included in the sale) within the bathroom, offering a practical and space-efficient solution.
Please note – there is a large loft space which is fully boarded to allow for easy storage, with a built-in loft ladder for ease of access. Additionally, there are two sets of architect drawings for conversion of the loft space (STP) to a master bedroom with en-suite facilities (drawings available on request).

OUTSIDE:- Front -The property boasts a mock Tudor-Style frontage enclosed by a charming front fence and gate. A neatly tiled pathway leads to the inviting front door, framed by low-maintenance Astroturf lawns for year-round greenery. Decorative potted plants and small ornamental trees add character and curb appeal. An outside tap allows easy watering of the plants.
Rear -At the back, stylish French doors from the lounge open onto a beautifully designed garden and patio area. The garden features Astroturf grass for effortless upkeep, complemented by a pergola—perfect for shading a hot tub or creating a cosy outdoor seating area. The entire rear garden is enclosed with fencing, offering privacy and security. For wine lovers…a nice feature of this garden is the grapevine that often produces enough grapes for 38 bottles of wine to be made (by a local wine producer). An outside tap and electricity sockets ensure simplicity in enjoying the space.
