GROUND FLOOR
Enter the property into an impressive open-plan KITCHEN/DINING/LIVING ROOM—an exceptional first impression where the sense of space and cohesion is immediately evident, enhanced by engineered oak flooring that runs seamlessly throughout the ground floor. Just off the entrance is a generously sized storage cupboard, and a CLOAKROOM, stylishly appointed, featuring a sleek grey gloss vanity basin unit with a decorative tiled splashback, a dual-flush WC, and a contemporary anthracite grey radiator. A deep tiled windowsill provides a thoughtful finishing touch, ideal for display.

The KITCHEN is fitted with an attractive range of navy-blue Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by copper-effect handles and solid wood worktops. An undermount ceramic sink adds a classic touch, while a Rangemaster cooker with black glass splashback and coordinating extractor hood creates a striking focal point. There is also space for an American-style fridge/freezer and under-counter space for a dishwasher. Taking centre stage is the oak-topped breakfast island, which offers a place to perch with a coffee, additional storage, and a recess for a microwave oven. The DINING/LIVING AREA has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Generous in scale, it provides ample room for dining, while French doors and rear-facing windows enhance the bright and sociable feel of the space while also bringing the outdoors indoors.

On the opposite side of the house, the SITTING ROOM is well proportioned, with French doors flanked by glazed panels that draw in an abundance of natural light and create a strong visual connection to the garden. A darker accent wall adds depth and a cocooning, relaxed atmosphere perfect for unwinding. An additional reception room on the ground floor offers excellent versatility—currently used as a STUDY, but equally suited as a snug, playroom or home office. A side window allows natural light to flow in, while neutral décor and continued flooring ensure it feels fully integrated with the rest of the home.

Finally, a separate UTILITY ROOM provides practical additional workspace, with a stainless-steel sink and drainer, base unit storage, and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads directly out to the garden.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor opens onto an impressively spacious LANDING, where a large front-facing window invites in an abundance of natural light. Finished with grey carpet and elegant white balustrading, this generous space sets a refined tone while providing access to the loft and all principal rooms.

The MASTER BEDROOM is a beautifully proportioned double, thoughtfully designed to create a calm yet luxurious retreat. Striking blue panelled accent walls add depth and character. The room enjoys multiple aspects, drawing in natural light throughout the day, and flows seamlessly into the generously sized en suite.

The EN SUITE is finished to an exceptional standard, evoking a boutique hotel feel. A walk-in shower enclosure with full-height tiling, including a patterned vertical border, sits alongside a rainfall showerhead with separate handheld attachment in a contemporary black finish. The blue vanity unit is paired with a stylish countertop basin and black tap. Further features include tiled flooring, a dual-flush WC, an anthracite vertical radiator with towel rail, extractor fan and shaver socket.

The front-facing BEDROOM TWO enjoys a triple aspect and is particularly light and airy. A soft grey accent wall adds subtle character, while a built-in cupboard houses the hot-water cylinder and provides additional storage.

BEDROOM THREE is another generously sized double, benefiting from windows to the front and side that flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere. To the rear, BEDROOM FOUR offers a private outlook over the garden, finished in a neutral palette to suit a range of styles. BEDROOM FIVE remains a comfortable single, ideal as a nursery, dressing room or home office, and enjoys a pleasant rear aspect with soft, neutral décor.

Completing the first floor is the family BATHROOM, designed with a sophisticated, spa-like aesthetic. A freestanding bath with a contemporary grey exterior takes centre stage, complemented by a black floor-standing bath/shower mixer. A separate shower enclosure with rainfall shower system adds practicality, while a vanity basin unit with coordinating black tap, tiled flooring, an anthracite vertical radiator and extractor fan complete the space with a cohesive, high-quality finish.

OUTSIDE
The recently landscaped rear garden enjoys a highly desirable south-westerly aspect, making it a wonderful sun trap throughout the day and into the evening. Stepping out from the house, you are welcomed onto a generous paved patio—ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining—complete with a convenient external power socket. From here, sleepers provide a characterful retaining wall and access to a neatly levelled lawn area finished with low-maintenance artificial grass, creating a clean and usable space all year round. The garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing and offers an excellent degree of privacy, with lighting attached to the fence enhancing both ambience and practicality after dark. Pathways run alongside the property to the front. Additionally, a garden room is positioned within the garden and is available by separate negotiation, offering excellent potential as a home office, studio or leisure space.

A block-paved driveway provides access to the GARAGE which is equipped with an electric door and houses the boiler, which was installed in 2021 and has been regularly serviced. The consumer unit has also been updated in recent years.

AGENT’S NOTE: We are informed by the present vendors that there are three parking spaces at the bottom of the shared access driveway, shared between the five properties and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
