ACCOMMODATION

Built by the current owners just five years ago, this outstanding detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke family home finished to an exceptional standard throughout. Offering beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, the property combines the benefits of modern construction, fixtures and fittings, and meticulous attention to detail. Immaculately maintained since completion, the home remains in superb, near-new condition and is perfectly suited to contemporary family living.

The property is entered via a welcoming and light-filled reception hall, featuring attractive wall panelling, quality walnut-finished internal doors and a stylish cloakroom/WC finished with contemporary tiling and premium sanitaryware.

At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed for modern family life and entertaining. The bespoke solid in-frame kitchen is complemented by granite work surfaces and an extensive range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, extractor hood and a premium Rangemaster Nexus range cooker with five-burner gas hob, ceramic hotplate, twin ovens, grill and warming drawer. A Belfast sink and Samsung American-style fridge freezer with filtered water and ice dispenser complete this exceptional space.

A stunning bespoke Karndean walnut-effect floor flows seamlessly throughout the principal ground floor accommodation, creating both continuity and sophistication. The dining area enjoys an abundance of natural light and opens directly onto the rear terrace through double doors, perfectly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The utility room continues the quality theme found within the kitchen, offering matching cabinetry, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, extensive storage and space for white goods.

The generous principal living room provides an elegant yet comfortable retreat, with glazed doors and direct access to the garden terrace. A separate snug offers a versatile additional reception room, ideal as a family room, playroom or home office.

A bespoke walnut and glass staircase rises to the first floor where four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom suite enjoys two windows overlooking the surrounding area, a dedicated dressing area and a luxurious fully tiled en-suite shower room featuring premium fittings and illuminated mirror. Three further bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom complete with bath, separate shower, waterfall tap, heated mirror and designer radiator.

The second floor provides an outstanding principal suite, creating a private sanctuary within the home. The spacious bedroom benefits from roof windows, recessed lighting and a separate dressing area, while the luxurious en-suite shower room is finished to an exceptional standard with quality contemporary fittings. Extensive under-eaves storage with lighting and power offers excellent practicality, while a useful landing study area with roof windows and multiple power points provide an ideal home-working environment.

OUTSIDE

The property occupies a generous plot with a beautifully maintained and private rear garden. A sandstone terrace wraps around the property and extends to create a superb outdoor dining and entertaining area with a covered BBQ/bar area, ideal for al fresco gatherings throughout the warmer months.

The lawn is complemented by mature planting and established trees, including an attractive willow, creating a peaceful and private setting. Practical features include hot and cold external taps and external power points.

To the front, a substantial tarmac driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the double garage, which benefits from an electric door, power, lighting and its own consumer unit.
