Accommodation - The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall with guest cloakroom and staircase rising to the first floor. Underfloor heating runs entirely through the ground floor, and CAT-6 wiring runs throughout. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the superb open-plan family dining kitchen, fitted by Rose County Interiors, and fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry including a full height pantry cupboard integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, all opening seamlessly into the generous dining and living space with feature log burner. Large, glazed openings provide an abundance of natural light and create a wonderful connection to the rear gardens and terrace beyond. A separate sitting room offers a more formal reception space centred around a feature fireplace, whilst a dedicated study provides an ideal work-from-home environment. A useful utility room completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes together with a stylish ensuite bathroom featuring both a separate shower enclosure and bath. Three further bedrooms are all well-proportioned and are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
