To the front, the living area is centred around a striking arched window that draws in the afternoon sun, creating a calm and inviting space in which to unwind. This flows seamlessly into the dining area, ideally positioned for hosting gatherings or family meals, with generous proportions that allow for flexible furniture arrangements.

Beyond, the designer kitchen sits subtly to the rear sleek, functional and beautifully appointed with contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances, durable stone worktops and a tiled, heated floor. French doors open directly onto the garden, extending the living space outside and inviting the fresh air in.

A discreet utility cupboard and a well-appointed downstairs WC add further convenience, keeping the ground floor practical without compromising on style.

Ascending to the first floor, the attention to detail continues. The principal bedroom is a true retreat, thoughtfully arranged with a walk-through dressing area leading into a private en-suite shower room, finished with elegant tiling and high-spec fixtures. Two further double bedrooms offer excellent flexibility ideal for guests, growing families, or those in need of dedicated work-from-home space. The family bathroom, equally well-finished, features a full-sized bath with overhead shower and a timeless, modern design.

Outside, the rear garden is both private and low-maintenance, enjoying a south-easterly aspect that captures the morning and afternoon sun. A paved terrace offers space for outdoor dining and relaxation, bordered by raised planters and mature planting that bring year-round interest. At the end of the garden, a bespoke garden studio awaits double-glazed, insulated and fully powered, its the perfect solution for remote working, creative pursuits or peaceful escape.

To the front, the property is framed by a simple lawn, while two allocated parking spaces are located in the private residents car park, complete with EV charging points for added convenience.
