From the moment you step inside, the warmth of the home shines through. The spacious, welcoming hallway sets the tone, with its attractive wooden flooring, stained glass detail, and original balustrade. A versatile bay-fronted room sits at the front of the property, currently used as a home office, but equally suitable as a playroom, quiet study, or even a home gym. The separate family lounge, with its herringbone floor, inviting fireplace, and alcove shelving, provides the perfect setting for relaxed evenings together.

At the rear, the heart of the home awaits – a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area designed with family life in mind. Bathed in natural light from the rear windows and double doors offering direct access to the rear garden, this space draws you outside to a raised deck, perfect for summer meals and entertaining. The kitchen itself features a generous central island with induction hob complete with inset extractor fan, high-quality quartz surfaces, 4 built-in ovens and a range of integrated appliances. With ample built-in storage and an adjoining utility room, it’s as practical as it is stylish. Completing the ground floor is a useful cloakroom with WC.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms. The rear principal double bedroom benefits from sliding doors to a balcony, where you can enjoy stunning morning views across the Downs. Another spacious double, with a bay window, lies at the front of the property, while a charming single bedroom is ideal for younger children or as a nursery. A modern family bathroom with separate shower provides comfort and convenience for busy mornings. The top floor opens up to a large fourth bedroom, complete with Velux windows framing views over the Downs, making it an inspiring retreat for older children or guests.

The garden is a particular highlight. A raised deck provides an elevated spot for outdoor dining, while steps lead down to a generous lawn – the perfect play space for children. The garden is beautifully planted with shrubs, flowerbeds and trees, creating a welcoming and safe environment for family life. To the front, there is parking for several cars.
