The timeline shaker style cabinetry is finished in a deep navy tone with copper detailing that brings a gentle warmth against the exposed brick wall. A trio of copper pendants provides a soft glow above the island, drawing focus to the central gathering point of the room. Every detail has been considered for both form and function. NEFF appliances are integrated throughout, offering precision performance within a refined aesthetic. Here, entertaining isn’t an afterthought; it’s woven into the very fabric of the design.

Cosier Retreat - Over the hallway you’ll be drawn into the cosy and inviting sitting room. The cracking of the log burning stove is the perfect backdrop on those chilly winter evenings and the predominantly southerly aspect means there is plenty of natural light pours through the wooden framed sash windows. The bespoke plantation shutters offer privacy and style in equal measure.

There is also a handy understairs storage cupboard and modern cloakroom.

Bed, Bath & Beyond - Heading upstairs, the quality and tasteful finishes continue. A cleverly placed skylight floods the stairwell and landing with natural light.

Each of the bedrooms is a good size double. The main bedroom stretches across the front of the home and has its own stylish ensuite shower room with high end Burlington finishes and underfloor heating.

The second bedroom has bespoke fitted wardrobes and overlooks the rear, whilst the third bedroom is also a good size double with beautiful decorative panelling.

These are served by the utterly exceptional family bathroom with high vaulted ceiling, marble tiled flooring, standalone bathtub and wet room shower.

Step Outside - Stepping outside, you have a beautifully landscaped garden that ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Thoughtfully designed, the space features a sleek outdoor kitchen with a premium pizza oven and Big Green Egg barbecue set (available via separate negotiation) against a rich mix of warm timber cladding and exposed brickwork.

A neatly manicured lawn adds a touch of greenery, framed by contemporary paving and gravel paths for easy maintenance. The inviting corner seating area offers a cosy, private retreat complete with rattan-style furniture, ideal for alfresco dining or evening drinks by the fire.

The detached outbuilding has been converted into a garden pub – “The Doug Arms”, perfect for those balmy summer evenings with friends.

The remaining section could be used for storage or converted into a home office and our client is happy to finish this in either way.

The garden also has an electric gated access, allowing you to occasionally park a car on the hardstanding.
