The Property - Approached via a gated entrance, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and exclusivity. A generous driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to both the detached single garage and the impressive double garage, which already benefits from a W/C and offers excellent scope for conversion into ancillary accommodation, a home office, studio or self-contained annex, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

A storm porch provides shelter before entering the welcoming entrance hall, a spacious central hub that effortlessly connects the ground floor accommodation. To one side, a versatile study offers the perfect environment for home working but could equally serve as a fifth bedroom if required. The principal reception room is a particularly impressive space, enjoying a wonderful double aspect that floods the room with natural light. A feature log-burning stove creates a cosy focal point, whilst sliding patio doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the stunning kitchen/dining room. Beautifully appointed with an extensive range of matching shaker-style base and wall units, the kitchen is both elegant and practical. A Rangemaster cooker serves as the centrepiece, complemented by a traditional Belfast sink and generous work surfaces. The room enjoys a delightful triple aspect with views over the gardens and benefits from sliding patio doors opening onto the entertaining terrace, as well as a separate external door providing convenient side access. There is ample space for a substantial dining table, creating a superb family and entertaining space. From the kitchen, the utility room provides further storage, an inset chrome sink and space for freestanding appliances. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary shower room fitted with a modern suite including a walk-in shower.

The first floor continues to impress. A central landing provides access to all bedrooms and family facilities. The principal bedroom is a wonderfully spacious retreat, enjoying a triple aspect outlook and fitted double wardrobes. The room is further enhanced by a stylish en-suite shower room featuring a modern walk-in shower.

Three further bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation, all benefitting from built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three enjoy particularly attractive views over the established gardens, whilst the remaining bedroom offers flexible accommodation for family or guests. The family bathroom is tastefully appointed and features a panel-enclosed bath with overhead rainfall-style shower.

Outside - Externally, the gardens are a particular highlight of the property, providing a wonderfully private and tranquil setting that has been thoughtfully cultivated over many years. The principal side garden is predominantly laid to lawn, creating an impressive expanse of usable outdoor space, whilst being beautifully enclosed by mature hedging, established specimen trees, colourful flowering borders and an abundance of shrubs that provide year-round interest, colour and seclusion.
A charming brick-built pergola, draped in mature wisteria, forms a striking focal point within the garden and creates a truly enchanting setting for ‘Al Fresco’ dining and entertaining. The adjoining paved terrace provides ample space for garden furniture and enjoys a highly desirable south-westerly aspect, perfect for making the most of the afternoon and evening sunshine.

To the rear, a productive vegetable garden offers an excellent opportunity for home-grown produce and a more sustainable lifestyle, with scope for further cultivation if desired.
