This mid-century home, originally constructed in 1959, has been significantly improved in recent years and is now presented beautifully. The recently rendered exterior, complemented by partial timber cladding, delivers clean lines and a contemporary Grand Designs feel. Internally it has a modern décor scheme and a bright, open layout that is ideal for entertaining at home.

The welcoming entrance hall provides access to all of the ground floor accommodation, including a snug, utility room, a generous L-shaped sitting room and library area and a newly extended, light-filled family room – separated from the sitting room by Crittal-style doors. The impressive space features two sets of bifold doors opening directly to the garden and leads seamlessly into the fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room, which is also accessed from the main entrance hall. The kitchen incorporates newly fitted cabinetry by The Kitchen Depot with sleek matte cabinetry and a large central island with integrated breakfast bar, as well as premium Karndean flooring.

A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a Bora induction hob, instant hot water tap and waste disposal unit, while a separate pantry provides additional storage. The property further benefits from a security system with CCTV and fibre broadband. The first floor bedrooms are arranged around a central landing and include the principal bedroom positioned to the rear benefitting from a light-filled walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bath and shower room, four further bedrooms, three with built-in storage, and an en-suite shower room and separate family bathroom.

To the front, the house is approached over a block paved driveway bordered by beds stocked with shrubbery. It provides ample parking for several cars and features an adjacent double garage with electric door. Two side gates provide convenient access to the south-facing rear garden.

The garden has been recently landscaped and is laid predominantly to lawn with raised borders featuring sleepers and perennial shrubs. The adjoining terrace is attractively landscaped and features mature hedging to one side. It provides a private and relaxing space for outdoor living and dining in the warmer months. Two garden sheds provide useful storage.
