OWNER QUOTE: “We spend most of our time in here, everyone can be together, but there is still room to enjoy quiet time in the separate snug.”

Tucked off the kitchen, a well-sized utility room provides additional cabinetry and drawers, alongside plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. With direct access out to the garden, it also serves as the ideal boot room entrance after walks in the surrounding countryside with canine companions. Warmed by underfloor heating and fitted with the original kitchen cabinetry, it's a practical space for muddy boots, wet paws and laundry.

Returning to the entrance hall, opposite the kitchen discover a versatile and attractive room, spacious and bright, with French doors leading out to a sunny, sheltered courtyard, and with beams overhead. Once the kitchen, this adaptable space has served many purposes over the years, from guest bedroom to homework room. Today, it is equally suited as a playroom, home office or gym, with light streaming through Velux windows in the vaulted ceiling above. Younger children can play safely in the enclosed courtyard beyond, while in years to come, the room could become an ideal teenage den. With access also through to a shower room and another door out to the garden, this spacious room could also serve well for independent, multigenerational living.

Back in the entrance hall, discover the lounge, saturated in light from a wall of bifolding doors opening to the garden. A sunny, spacious room for all to gather in, the lounge can also be accessed from the dining room, completing the ground floor’s easy, family friendly flow.

Wake up to captivating views out over the garden through the large window opposite the bed, before stepping into the large dressing room to prepare for the day. Brimming with storage, built-in wardrobes feature hanging space, drawers and shelving, with a fitted dressing table opposite.

Accessible from either the Jack and Jill bathroom or the dressing room, the master bedroom feels private and tucked back from the main flow of bedrooms.

At the end of this inner landing, to the right, a large, light bedroom with dressing room containing built-in storage and en suite overlook the lush and private garden to the rear.Designed to provide growing children with space of their own, the dressing room offers somewhere to keep clothes, hobbies and the inevitable accumulation of belongings neatly tucked away.
