Set on a quiet residential street, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home offers generous living space, modern finishes and excellent garden areas. With a striking dining kitchen, roomy conservatory, walk-in wardrobe and integral garage, this is a fantastic opportunity for families looking to settle in a sought after location with local schools, shops and services within easy reach.

The entrance vestibule opens into a bright hallway finished with a light grey paint scheme and white skirting, cornicing and internal doors. The light-toned laminate flooring flows throughout the ground floor, providing a cohesive and contemporary look. To the front of the home, the living room is a large and welcoming space with a broad window overlooking the street. Decorated in light neutrals with a warm wood-toned floor, the room offers ample space for sofas and furniture, with a tall white radiator placed neatly by the door.

The dining kitchen is a true centrepiece of the home, combining bold design choices with a practical layout. Sleek white cabinets are paired with grey worktops, with the surface extending seamlessly to form a breakfast bar that visually separates the kitchen from the dining area. Grey-toned hexagonal splashback panels add striking contrast against the green painted walls. Stylish lighting runs beneath the wall-mounted units and along the floor-level kickboards, giving the space an impressive ambient glow. A built-in double oven sits at eye level beside the electric hob with extractor hood above. The dining area provides space for a large table and chairs, flanked by two tall dark grey radiators.

A set of French doors open directly from the dining space into the conservatory. This extension has been thoughtfully designed with an insulated and PVC-lined roof, providing year-round usability. Surrounded by double-glazed windows and set on a concrete base, the room is bright and spacious with views across the garden. A set of glazed doors leads out to the rear patio. Accessed from the kitchen, the utility room continues the kitchen design with matching units, grey worktops and matching splashbacks. There is a built-in microwave and room for additional appliances. This room also includes internal access to the garage. The home also benefits from a ground floor toilet, located off the hall. This features cream wall tiling, and includes a white toilet and hand basin.

A white-painted staircase with a grey tartan-style carpet leads to the upper floor landing, where four generous bedrooms and the family bathroom are located. The master bedroom is a spacious double with dark blue walls contrasting against bright white detailing. The room includes a walk-in wardrobe fitted with rails for storage. Its en-suite shower room includes a curved corner shower cubicle with a mixer shower, white toilet and basin, a chrome ladder radiator and a frosted window for light and ventilation. The second bedroom is a large double room with white painted walls, a dormer window, radiator and a built-in mirror fronted wardrobe. It shares the same stylish wood flooring as the other bedrooms.

Another double bedroom features a bold feature wall with geometric painted patterns in black, red, grey and white. This distinctive touch adds personality to the space, which also includes neutral walls, mirrored wardrobe doors and ample room for bedroom furniture. The fourth bedroom has a sloped ceiling and dormer window, with light-coloured walls and wood flooring. It is currently used as a home office, with space for a desk and sofa while a radiator is positioned by the door.

The modern family bathroom contains a glossy grey vanity unit running along one wall, housing the toilet and sink, with built-in cupboards for storage. A long wall mirror sits above the unit. The white bath includes a mixer shower above and a shower screen to the side, with large tiles surrounding the this area for a clean and functional finish. A Velux window brings in natural light from above.

The home features timber-framed double-glazed windows throughout, gas-fired central heating via a Worcester Greenstar boiler located in the garage and smoke detectors fitted for safety. Outside, the property enjoys enclosed gardens to the front, sides and rear. The front has a gravel driveway for parking, a small patch of lawn to one side, and direct access to the integral garage with a metal door. The large rear garden is laid mostly to lawn and fully enclosed with tall timber fencing for privacy. A paved patio runs across the rear of the house and to the conservatory, making it a perfect setting for outdoor dining, relaxing or hosting a summer BBQ. Planting borders, with shrubs and greenery, add interest around the edges.
