We have pleasure in offering to the market this well thought out, high specification, detached single storey home completed in 2021 by a well regarded local developer (Ian Hardwick) in association with Truman Contractors. The property has been thoughtfully designed and finished to a high specification and presents as a fantastic and deceptive home offering in the region of 1,517 sq.ft. of internal accommodation.

The property has been completed with a great deal of thought and attention to detail with high ceilings, deep skirtings and architraves, oak internal doors, cream finished double glazed sash windows, gas central heating and pressurised hot water system.

The accommodation comprises an initial spacious entrance hall which leads into an impressive main reception offering an attractive feature of a high, vaulted, cathedral ceiling, the addition of a contemporary log burning stove and bifold doors leading out into the rear garden with wonderful panoramic views across adjacent fields at the rear. The open plan living/dining kitchen provides a generous open plan space perfect for everyday living and entertaining, flooded with light having a run of bifold doors to the rear. The kitchen is tastefully appointed with a generous range of units with integrated Smeg appliances and silestone work surfaces including a central island unit creating a fantastic working area. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room. In addition there are three double bedrooms, the principal bedroom benefitting from ensuite facilities and, due to the nature of single storey living, the other two bedrooms could of course be utilised as reception space if required. The two secondary bedrooms are serviced by a tastefully presented contemporary bath/shower room.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful setting tucked away at the end of a small close affording wonderful aspects to the side and rear with ample off road parking and integral garage with electric door.

Overall this is a superb high quality home large enough to accommodate families but could well appeal to single or professional couples but also those downsizing from larger dwellings who are still looking for a good level of space on a single level.

Viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
