THE PROPERTY

A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation. To the front, the impressive sitting room is flooded with natural light courtesy of a large bay window and offers an inviting space in which to relax, measuring an impressive 16'5 into the bay by 13'3 in width. A second reception room provides excellent flexibility and is currently arranged as a home office, although it could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, playroom or snug depending on individual requirements.

To the rear of the property, the home opens into a spacious dining room, creating a wonderful space for both everyday family life and entertaining. French doors open directly onto an extensive raised decking area, seamlessly connecting the interior with the garden beyond.

The first floor is accessed via stairs rising from the dining room, leading to a spacious landing. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, benefitting from a walk-in wardrobe and a generously proportioned en-suite shower room. Two further well-sized bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower, while the second bedroom also enjoys the advantage of fitted storage.

OUTSIDE 

Externally, the property is equally impressive. A recently laid paved driveway provides an attractive approach while offering ample off-road parking for five to six vehicles. Secure gated side access leads through to the beautifully private rear garden, where an expansive decked terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with useful storage beneath.

Extending to approximately 0.23 acres, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by an attractive selection of mature shrubs, creating a secluded environment. Towards the far end of the garden, a natural pond provides a haven for wildlife and enhances the tranquil setting, making this a wonderful outdoor space for families to enjoy throughout the seasons.
