The Home
As you approach via the private driveway, you’re greeted by a landscaped turning circle, mature trees, and a striking timber-clad façade. Step inside and the double-height vaulted reception immediately impresses — a light-filled central hub with exposed beams, oak staircase, and bi-folding doors opening to the gardens.

Entering the property you are greeted via a large spacious entrance room, leading to the centre piece of the home. To one side, you’ll find a cosy snug, formal sitting room, and large study. To the other, a spectacular kitchen/breakfast room, complete with granite-topped island, larder, and additional spacious utility room as well as wet room. To the front and rear of the grand central staircase, there are bi-folding doors, flooding the room with natural light and bringing the garden into the room. 

Upstairs, five generous double bedrooms are arranged off the galleried landing, with the principal suite enjoying fitted wardrobes and a sleek en-suite.

A Morrisons supermarket and garage are just a two minute drive away.
