THE PROPERTY

As you approach the home via a low-maintenance gravel driveway, you pass through an elegant arched porch and enter into a welcoming central hallway. This spacious entrance area gives access to the main downstairs accommodation, including a coat cupboard, a convenient downstairs WC, and a single return staircase leading to the first floor.

The hallway features stylish herringbone flooring, guiding you towards the heart of the home. Ahead of you, two sets of glazed double doors lead to the main reception rooms.

One set opens into a generously sized, square-shaped living room - ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with ample space for furniture and sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden.

The second set of doors leads to the standout feature of the home: an impressive, open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. This substantial area seamlessly combines three zones - a seating area, a family-sized dining space, and a high-spec kitchen.

A large central island forms the heart of the kitchen, complemented by contemporary wraparound worktops, a sleek under-mounted sink, integrated eye-level oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler, and ample wall and base units. A striking sky lantern floods the space with natural light, and full-width patio doors open out to the rear terrace, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.

Off the kitchen, a door leads into a well-designed utility room with additional storage units, sink, and space for both a washing machine and dryer.

From here, another door provides internal access to the garage. Also on the ground floor is a front-facing snug/sitting room or home office - ideal as a study or relaxation space.

Across the hallway, you’ll find the fifth bedroom: a well-proportioned double room with front aspect and a high-quality en-suite shower room, featuring a large shower, WC, and wash basin - all finished with stylish modern tiling.

Ascending the return staircase, you're greeted by a spacious and bright first-floor landing, providing access to four further bedrooms.

The principle suite is truly impressive, with a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden, space for extensive furniture, and an open dressing area fitted with built-in wardrobes. This flows into a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in double shower, WC, and wash basin - all finished to a high standard, with a front-facing window bringing in natural light. Bedroom two is another generous double with a full wall of fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite featuring a shower-over-bath, WC, and basin, plus a side aspect window.

Bedroom three is a large double room at the rear of the property with its own en-suite, including a walk-in shower, WC, and basin.

Bedroom four, also upstairs, is ideal as a nursery, study, or single bedroom - offering views to the front and completing the versatile layout.

OUTSIDE

To the front, the property offers a low-maintenance gravel driveway with a low boundary wall and ample parking for multiple vehicles. Side access leads to the rear garden, where you'll find a spacious, level patio area directly outside the living spaces - perfect for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the patio lies a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature shrubs, creating a private and peaceful garden setting.

A secondary patio area at the end of the garden provides an ideal spot for a fire pit or additional outdoor seating - making the most of this generous outdoor space.
