The Property
Stepping under the storm porch we push open the front door of this impressive family home where we are welcomed by the reception hall. The scale of the property and superb amounts of natural light that flow throughout the house are instantly apparent and vision line into all of the main accommodation adds to the sociable feeling of the property. The dog leg staircase rises to the first floor gallery landing and we find the cloakroom and storage cupboard at the foot of the stairs. Tiled flooring lines the hall and continues through the kitchen and large utility room. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of modern units set against granite work surfaces and incorporates a full range of appliances including a double oven. A central island adds to the storage and offers a great spot to sit for coffee or informal dining. The sink is set below a window taking in the garden view and a door opens to the spacious utility/laundry room which in-turn leads to outside. Stepping back through the hall French doors open to the dining room, a spacious second reception room which enjoys patio doors leading into the garden whilst adjacent we step into the spacious sitting room. This dual aspect room is filled with natural light and again enjoys patio doors leading into the garden, ideal for summer entertaining. An open fire creates a cosy focal point set in an elegant marble fire surround. The entire ground floor has the added benefit of underfloor heating. Climbing the stairs to the first floor we find the stunning landing, large enough to provide a study area or library and leads to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The family bathroom boasts a modern four piece bathroom suite comprising a bath, separate shower, w/c and basin set into a vanity unit. Adjacent the master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect that fills this spacious room with natural light, the recently re-fitted en-suite is again of superb proportions and enjoys a double width shower with w/c and wash basin set to a modern vanity unit. The three further bedrooms all offer space for double bedroom furnishings, the larger two are found at the opposite end of the landing with the slightly smaller central bedroom set overlooking the rear gardens. This completes the accommodation.

Outside
Approaching the property via St Benedict's Close we are welcomed by the vast frontage of the premises, the entire width of the plot has been laid to block paving providing an exceptional amount of off road parking perfect for busy family lives and allowing the frontage to be almost maintenance free.

At the rear the surprising garden space can be accessed via the utility room whilst patio doors open from both the dining room and sitting room onto the patio, perfect for family life and entertaining in the summer months. The garden is laid to lawn framed with a bespoke steel border edging which frames the extensive planted beds that are bursting with colour and scent. Passing the rear of the garage the space opens to a secret garden that offers a wealth of potential for recreation, play or an ideal spot for a kitchen garden.
