Two generous reception rooms have been thoughtfully connected to create one expansive, light-filled environment, anchored by a striking double-sided chimney breast with contemporary gas fires on both sides. French doors open out to the garden, providing a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

At the centre sits the bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, where timeless design meets high-performance functionality.

Marble flooring runs throughout, paired with underfloor heating to enhance the sense of everyday luxury. Flooded with light and cleverly zoned for relaxed dining and everyday living, this versatile space balances a sense of openness with moments of intimacy and is ideal for both family life and social gatherings.

Tucked discreetly off the kitchen, a well-appointed utility room offers additional storage and laundry facilities, along with direct access to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a stylish cloakroom/WC, adding practicality without compromising on design.

At the front of the home, the principal bedroom suite spans the full width of the property; an exceptional retreat that balances classic elegance with effortless comfort. Tall sash windows flood the room with natural light, while generous proportions and refined styling evoke a quiet grandeur. The adjoining en-suite bathroom is a true sanctuary; a space designed for indulgence and relaxation. A centrally placed freestanding slipper bath takes centre stage, complemented by a walk-in steam shower, bespoke cabinetry, and twin basins, all finished with exquisite materials and luxurious attention to detail. Thoughtfully integrated into the space are extensive built-in wardrobes, providing generous storage without compromising the room’s serenity and elegance.

Also on this floor are two further generously sized double bedrooms, each beautifully appointed and ideal for family, guests, or flexible use as a study or dressing room. Serving both is a sleek and stylish Jack and Jill shower room, featuring high-quality fittings and contemporary finishes, perfectly combining form and function.

Rising to the second floor, the sense of space and light continues, with two beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, each bathed in natural light from charming dormer windows. One bedroom, thoughtfully designed for privacy and comfort, benefits from its own private en-suite, whilst the other is served by a sleek and contemporary shower room just across the landing, making this level an ideal retreat for teenagers, extended family, or overnight guests. Completing the second floor is a bright and versatile gym or studio space, offering the perfect spot for wellness, creativity, or quiet reflection.
