DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Entrance Hall
Upon entering through the main entrance, you are greeted by a beautifully designed reception hall that sets the tone for this remarkable property. The spacious entrance features a non-working original cast iron fireplace as a striking period focal point, modern spotlights with Aurora LED modules, and multiple double sockets with USB charging ports. This impressive space serves as both a functional entrance and an elegant introduction to the home's blend of period charm and contemporary specification.

Reception Rooms
The principal reception room is a truly magnificent space measuring 20'10 x 17'10, featuring a stunning bay-fronted window with bespoke fitted window seat incorporating integrated storage drawers. The room benefits from underfloor heating, wired data connections, Aurora LED spotlights throughout, and six double sockets with USB ports, creating an ideal environment for both relaxed family living and formal entertaining. The room's generous proportions and abundant natural light create a wonderfully bright and welcoming atmosphere.

Adjacent to the entrance hall sits a characterful snug room, perfect as a home study, library, or cosy retreat. This charming space features a Hobbit wood burner set within an original cast iron fireplace, creating an inviting focal point. Fitted bookshelves provide ample storage, whilst wired data connections ensure the room is suitable for modern home working requirements.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the spectacular 30ft open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, a space where contemporary design meets exceptional functionality and family living. Upon entering, the layout unfolds beautifully: to the left, a dedicated lounge area with comfortable seating creates the perfect spot for relaxation whilst remaining connected to the heart of family life. The kitchen has been fitted to an impressive specification with white quartz island worktops housing integrated fridge drawers, whilst the main kitchen area features sleek black quartz surfaces. The comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes two Neff Slide and Hide ovens (one conventional, one steam), an integrated oven/microwave within the island, two Neff warming drawers, plus matching drawer beneath the drinks fridge, integrated wine fridge, and integrated beer fridge.

The dining area enjoys double aspect views to the garden through generous windows and French doors, flooding the space with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The space benefits from ceiling speakers, wired data connections, and a Gigabit switch, making it as technically advanced as it is beautiful. This is genuinely a room designed for modern family life and entertaining, providing the ultimate multi-functional space where cooking, dining, relaxing, and socialising flow effortlessly together.

Utility/ Annex Kitchen and Ground Floor Accommodation
The well-appointed utility room features a ring main suitable for an additional oven and provides direct access to the rear garden via a door with its own separate doorbell. Adjacent to this, a ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room offers enormous flexibility. Currently utilised as a gym with underfloor heating and wired data connections, this space could serve as guest accommodation, a teenager's suite, or form part of a self-contained annex arrangement with minimal adaptation, thanks to its private access via the side of the property.

First Floor - Principal Bedroom Suite
The extraordinary principal bedroom is a true showpiece potential, measuring an exceptional 30'3 x 14'2. This vast room is currently configured as a sumptuous master suite but offers the exciting potential to be divided back into two substantial double bedrooms with very little work required, effectively creating a six-bedroom property should future owners require additional accommodation. The room benefits from wired data connections and its own luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a FROG steam cabinet/shower complete with radio, speakers, and integrated lighting, a classic cast iron slipper bath, and an electric mirror with three light settings, Bluetooth speaker, and integrated shaver socket. This is hotel-quality luxury in a private residence.

Further Bedrooms and Family Bathroom
Three additional generously proportioned double bedrooms complete the first-floor accommodation, all benefiting from wired data connections. These well-appointed rooms provide flexible accommodation for family, guests, or home working spaces. The family bathroom serves these rooms and comprises a modern suite with over-bath shower facilities.

Exterior and Gardens
The property sits centrally within its substantial 0.16-acre plot, providing enclosed gardens to both front and rear aspects. The south-west facing front garden benefits from planning permission for a garden office, with comprehensive infrastructure already in place including Cat 6 data cabling laid and ready for connection, an electrical cabinet installed, drainage connection to main drain, and multiple double sockets. The north-west facing rear garden wraps elegantly round to the west, offering excellent natural light during afternoons and evenings. The rear garden includes a substantial 13ft x 13ft pent roof shed/workshop with power supply, ideal for hobbies, storage, or additional workspace.

The elevated driveway provides parking for 4-5 vehicles and has been thoughtfully prepared for the future with cabling installed ready for electric vehicle charging points and multiple exterior double sockets. Steps lead down from the driveway to the main property, adding to the sense of arrival. Double sockets are also conveniently located down the side of the property and in the rear garden.

Technical Specification Highlights
This property has been upgraded to an exceptional standard with meticulous attention to detail. Features include two attic spaces for storage, all bedrooms fitted with wired data connections, underfloor heating in key reception rooms and the gym, modern re-fitted sash windows throughout, Aurora LED spotlights in principal rooms, spare Karndean flooring and carpeting stored in the loft for future maintenance, and comprehensive smart home integration throughout.
