Additional Information - This bespoke, modern semi-detached home features a thoughtfully designed layout with enhanced privacy. On the attached side, a purpose-built space - integrated into the structure - acts as a sound buffer, significantly reducing noise transfer from the neighbouring property.

The kitchen-dining room is a beautifully designed space, featuring a walk-in pantry, classic Shaker-style painted units, integrated appliances, a Butler sink, and a SMEG range cooker. It opens into a light-filled dining space with French doors and a picture window that frames spectacular views of the garden and countryside beyond.

The sitting room is an elegant room with a wood-burning stove set within a traditional fireplace, and French doors opening west onto the garden - perfect for enjoying summer breakfast. At the front of the house, a well-proportioned study offers a quiet retreat with charming views up and down the street.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite spans the full width of the house and enjoys outstanding views across open countryside. It includes a bathroom with a lovely outlook and a fitted dressing room, accessed through double doors.

The three additional double bedrooms, arranged over the first and second floors, are generously sized and served by two well-appointed bathrooms, providing flexible accommodation for family and guests alike.

Outside - A pretty front garden borders the pathway leading to the front door, which sits beneath a porch adorned with climbing roses. A driveway passes through timber gates and leads to a single garage dressed in stone with a pantile roof. Together, the drive and garage provide parking for up to four vehicles. The garage is fully equipped with power, lighting, and electric roller doors.

The garden is both private and sheltered, bordered by the cedar-clad, south-facing wall of the garage and raised beds planted with perennials and colourful climbers. Adjacent to the house, a York stone patio with a sunny west-facing courtyard provides an ideal spot for afternoon relaxation. At the far end of the garden, a further paved terrace enjoys a peaceful vantage point to take in the far-reaching views across open fields. In addition, there is a purpose built timber shed by Shamrock Sheds and two water buts.
