The Home at a Glance

The principal entrance to this timelessly elegant home opens into a spacious reception hall, immediately setting the tone for the style and quality found throughout. Bathed in morning sunshine, the front aspect welcomes an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and uplifting first impression in the earlier hours of the day. A sleek tiled floor extends seamlessly underfoot, guiding you effortlessly from the hallway into the heart of the home - a superb open-plan living space designed for modern living and entertaining.

Flooded with natural light, this impressive space is illuminated throughout the day, with sunlight streaming through expansive windows and bi-fold doors - particularly during the late afternoon and evening - creating a warm and inviting ambience. Generous in scale, the room accommodates a stylish sitting area, a well-proportioned dining space, and a luxurious kitchen designed to the highest standard.

The beautifully crafted kitchen features solid oak Shaker-style cabinetry topped with quartz work surfaces, combining classically beautiful design with contemporary functionality. A comprehensive range of integrated Siemens appliances includes a five-ring induction hob with extractor, a combination microwave/steam/grill oven, a separate fan-assisted oven, a fridge-freezer, and a full-size dishwasher. Thoughtfully designed for contemporary life, the space also offers an abundance of pull-out storage solutions, a central island with breakfast bar seating, and a one-and-a-half sink with a pull-out mixer tap - perfectly blending practicality with refined style.

Positioned just beyond the kitchen is a substantial utility room, designed to mirror the kitchen's elegant finish. This practical space also incorporates an additional sink, provision for a washing machine, and a dedicated cupboard housing the cylinder for the air source heating system.

Flanking the entrance hall are two more intimate reception rooms, ideal for quieter moments and family gatherings. The principal sitting room provides a warm and welcoming retreat, centred around an inset fireplace with an electric stove, with the option to reinstate a traditional wood-burning stove if desired. The second reception room, currently arranged as a study, benefits from the main broadband connection to the property, making it perfectly suited for home working. Both rooms are finished with high-quality, stylish muted grey carpeting; however, solid oak flooring lies beneath, offering the flexibility to restore a natural timber finish should a future owner prefer.

Completing the ground floor is a beautifully appointed cloakroom, fitted with premium Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware - a standard of quality echoed throughout every washroom in the home.

The first floor offers five generously proportioned double bedrooms, providing excellent accommodation for family living. Two of the bedrooms enjoy the added luxury of their own en-suite shower rooms, each appointed with stylish three-piece suites and heated towel rails.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, featuring a four-piece suite, a heated towel rail, and an illuminated mirror, combining comfort with contemporary design. A spacious galleried landing enhances the sense of light and openness on this level, while also providing access to the loft and a convenient linen cupboard for additional storage.

Externally, both the front and rear gardens have been thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. Predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by an attractive array of vibrant planting, the outdoor space offers colour and interest throughout the seasons. The rear garden is fully enclosed, creating a safe and private environment, and features a paved patio terrace - ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The property further benefits from a driveway and a detached double garage, complete with a remote-controlled electric door, lighting, and power supply. This versatile space not only provides secure parking but also offers potential for additional appliances such as a condenser tumble dryer or chest freezer, catering to modern practical needs.
