Step inside via the entrance porch, ever useful for wet boots and coats, into a welcoming entrance hallway, which features elegant Woodpecker flooring and a striking ceiling with wooden slatted detailing and integrated lighting with access to main roof via loft ladder all setting the tone for the quality seen throughout.

Open Plan Kitchen/Living/Dining Room

At the heart of this beautiful home, this wonderfully bright space has been so thoughtfully designed. Natural light floods in through almost wall to wall glass, with the rear windows in the kitchen, additional windows in the living area with single door, which lead out onto a paved seating area — perfect for al fresco dining.  

The kitchen area has a comprehensive range of sleek wall and base units, glass-fronted display cabinets, tall cupboards and high-end integrated appliances, including: an induction hob with built-in extractor, two ovens (one a microwave combi), wine cooler, dishwasher and a stainless steel sink with the luxury of a waste disposal unit. 

‘U’ shaped design, with feature lighting allows the cook to enjoy a great amount of well-lit workspace, while a central breakfast bar on the dining/living side provides both a practical and sociable space. Smart built in cupboards with tv above provide a stylish focal point. There is also plenty of room for a sizeable table and chairs. Elegant Woodpecker flooring has also been added.

Shower Room 

Exceptional and beautifully designed, with an exquisite look and luxurious feel. Large walk-in shower with glass screen, lovely wooden counter with units below and inset wash handbasin, low-level wc and shaver point. Contemporary, neutral wall panels, ladder towel rail and elegant Woodpecker flooring, with window to the rear completing this well-appointed space.

Externally 

West View sits on an impressive and well-maintained plot. The frontage is wide with a shaped lawn, mature shrubs and flower beds, all creating a formal but welcoming feel. Gated access at the side leads to a shed and through to the rear garden. A good sized driveway leads to a single extended and spacious garage, which has an electric up-and-over door - providing additional convenience, and includes EV charger, plumbing for a washing machine, along with handy loft storage accessed via a pull-down ladder. A courtesy door leads through to the rear garden.

The Rear Garden has been imaginatively designed and landscaped, with an emphasis placed on ambient lighting for the enjoyment of evenings outside. There is a lower paved patio – accessed from both the living areas – with steps up to a lawn, where a pretty curved path takes you to a raised terrace. This is enclosed, feels very private and provides a delightful space with a leafy outlook, perfect for entertaining and relaxing. 

This amazing property is likely to be snapped up quickly. We really recommend an early viewing so you can appreciate the quality, space and location this exceptional home has to offer.
