Description

The property is accessed via an electric gated entrance, opening onto a generous tarmac driveway that leads to a detached double garage with a remote-controlled door and a covered carport. A charming covered veranda leads to the front door, fitted with privacy glass, which opens into a welcoming porch complete with fitted coat hooks. 

From here, double doors reveal a bright and spacious hallway that flows seamlessly into the adjoining living and bedroom accommodation.

The open-plan dining and sitting area provides an exceptional space for entertaining and large family gatherings. This sociable hub is adjacent to the beautifully appointed kitchen and features glazed doors that open out onto the patio, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. The room extends naturally into the main living area via a small flight of steps, creating a sense of separation while maintaining an open feel.

The living area boasts two large picture windows with remote-controlled blinds, framing stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A contemporary log burner adds both visual appeal and warmth, creating a cosy focal point. Oak doors lead to an additional sitting room, which is bathed in natural light thanks to dual bi-fold doors. These open directly onto the garden, offering panoramic views of the landscaped grounds and effortless access to the outdoors.

The kitchen is fitted with an elegant range of light grey, soft-close units and a complementary worktop that extends to form a breakfast bar. A one-and-a-half black sink with mixer tap is integrated into the work surface, alongside a five-ring induction hob. Additional appliances include a built-in electric double oven/grill, microwave, and slimline dishwasher. There is ample space for an American-style fridge freezer. The kitchen is finished with high-gloss ceramic floor tiles and underfloor heating for added comfort.

A dedicated utility room adjoins the kitchen, featuring a continuation of the ceramic floor tiles, additional storage units, and a fitted worktop with an inset stainless steel sink, offering practicality and style in equal measure.

An inner hallway leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. A raised platform beneath a Velux rooflight provides an ideal space for a home office, benefiting from natural light and a sense of separation from the main living areas. The hallway also features a built-in cupboard for coats and household essentials, along with a separate airing cupboard housing the boiler.

The master bedroom suite is a generously sized double room, thoughtfully designed with both built-in oak wardrobes and additional fitted wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors. This serene retreat is complemented by a stylish en-suite shower room, complete with under floor heating, a glazed shower enclosure, WC, and a contemporary wash basin with vanity storage beneath.

Bedrooms two and three are both comfortable doubles, ideal for guests or family members. The second bedroom benefits from a loft hatch with a pull-down ladder, offering access to additional storage, while the third bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe. The modern family bathroom is tastefully appointed with a bath featuring both a wall-mounted and rainfall shower, a WC, and a pedestal wash basin, creating a sleek and functional space for daily routines.

Outside, the south facing gardens have been beautifully landscaped to create a series of inviting outdoor spaces. Manicured lawns are bordered by mature hedges and established trees, offering both privacy and natural screening. Paved patios provide perfect settings for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while taking in the scenic views.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the garden is a detached cedar-clad cabin, a charming addition ideal for guests, home working, or extended family. This self-contained space features a bright open-plan living and sleeping area, a separate shower room, and glazed doors that open onto a private patio, creating a peaceful retreat within the grounds.

The garage has an electric supply ready for an electric car.
