Description

Set behind a private road in an idyllic village setting, this exceptional five/six-bedroom detached residence offers an impressive blend of space, versatility, and modern family living, extending to approximately 2,900 sq ft.

The property immediately impresses with a generous and welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the well-balanced accommodation that follows. The ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged to suit both everyday family life and entertaining, with four separate reception rooms providing excellent flexibility. These include a spacious sitting room ideal for relaxation, a dedicated study perfect for home working, a games room, and an additional family room offering further informal living space.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning L-shaped kitchen/dining room, designed with both style and practicality in mind. This expansive area provides ample space for cooking, dining, and socialising, making it a true focal point of the property. A separate utility room ensures the main living areas remain uncluttered, while a convenient downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the property continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from its own ensuite bathroom and shower facilities, creating a luxurious retreat. The second bedroom also enjoys ensuite facilities, making it ideal for guests or older children, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a large south-facing rear garden, offering an excellent degree of privacy and a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and family activities. A decked seating area provides an ideal space for al fresco dining during the warmer months, while the remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn.

To the front, the home is approached via a private setting and benefits from a single garage along with a substantial gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple cars.
