Welcome to an exceptional family home

Entering the property, a vestibule welcomes you in, flowing through to a reception hall with understairs storage. It is a pristine introduction that offers a tantalising glimpse of the stylish interiors to follow.

An impressive open-plan centrepiece

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is the home's impressive centrepiece. It has a substantial footprint and a smart layout that offers a flow of accommodation whilst ensuring each section is cleverly zoned. There is an expansive lounge area for unwinding that retains its own sense of space and by the kitchen, there is plenty of room for a table and chairs serving eight people and above. Backed by two sets of patio doors, this reception area also extends out into the rear garden for summer entertaining. Crisp neutral décor and a wood-effect floor add another touch of elegance to this fabulous space.

In addition, a sitting/family room provides a more intimate setting for relaxing and socialising. Characterised by sophisticated interior design, this beautiful space has the added allure of a cosy log-burning stove and triple-aspect windows for a light-filled ambience. If required, this room could also be used a fifth double bedroom, providing the homeowners with excellent versatility.

A state-of-the-art kitchen by Kitchens International

Bringing further style to the open-plan reception room, the kitchen has a state-of-the-art design by Kitchens International. It features sleek, handle-less cabinets in white and a line of concrete units for contrast, all paired with deluxe Corian worktops and easy-to-clean (tempered) glass splashbacks. A central island adds further flair and practicality, doubling as a breakfast bar for quick meals. It also comes with a Quooker tap for instant boiling water, undercabinet lighting for ambient moods, and integrated Siemens appliances for a smooth finish (induction hob, ceiling extractor fan, oven, steam oven, warming drawer, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher). A well-stocked utility room neighbours the kitchen, providing an integrated washing machine, further storage and workspace, and an alternate access to the rear garden.

A luxurious haven

Easily accessible on the ground floor, the large principal suite is a luxurious haven for the owners. It features a private dressing room which is lined with fitted wardrobes, offering a wealth of clothes storage. It also leads to a contemporary en-suite shower room, fitted with premium tile work, a storage-set washbasin, a hidden-cistern toilet, and a double walk-in rainfall shower. Meanwhile, the three remaining double bedrooms are on the first floor, off a bright landing with an airing cupboard, access to eaves storage, and an attic/storage space for added practicality. Like the principal suite, all three rooms are neutrally decorated and laid with carpet, providing a comfortable environment for a relaxing night's sleep.

High-spec bathroom facilities

In addition to the en-suite, there is a spacious four-piece family bathroom on the ground floor, which includes a toilet, a washbasin, a ladder-style towel radiator, a double walk-in rainfall shower enclosure, and a bath with a handheld shower. A modern three-piece shower room serves the first floor as well, coming equipped with similar fixtures and fittings, ensuring all the bathroom facilities are of a high specification.

For optimal comfort, the property has double glazing and gas central heating, as well as electric underfloor heating in the en-suite and shower room.
