A useful ground floor cloakroom is fitted with a contemporary two piece suite comprising an enclosed WC and wash hand basin. The office provides a dedicated space for those working from home and incorporates a fitted desk, whilst the separate front reception room offers an elegant contrast to the more expansive open-plan accommodation beyond, with a feature media wall providing a stylish focal point.

Without question, one of the defining features of the house is the magnificent open-plan living kitchen. Created on an impressive scale and flooded with natural light, this outstanding space has been designed equally well for day-to-day family life and large-scale entertaining. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of sleek grey and white eye and base level units and drawers, complemented by generous preparation surfaces and a substantial central island incorporating further storage. Quartz surfaces are paired with warm hardwood detailing to the breakfast bar, creating a particularly striking contemporary finish. A ceramic undermounted sink with flexible mixer tap over, whilst appliances include a Neff induction hob, CDA twin ovens and an integrated dishwasher, together with space and plumbing for an American-style fridge-freezer. A bespoke booth finished with upholstered seating and padded wall panels, creates an intimate dining area, whilst a dedicated bar adds another superb entertaining feature.

Beyond the kitchen, the room opens seamlessly into an extensive living area, where roof lanterns and wide sliding doors draw an abundance of natural light into the space and provide an excellent connection with the rear garden. The adjoining utility room provides additional base level storage and work surfaces, together with a stainless steel one-and-a-quarter bowl sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a door providing garage access.

The first floor landing gives access to three generous double bedrooms, each benefiting from excellent bathroom facilities.

A further staircase rises to the second floor, which is devoted to an impressive, principal bedroom suite. Occupying the upper level of the house, this superb, private retreat provides an extensive bedroom area with a fitted spa bath, a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and an open-plan en-suite incorporating a large walk-in shower with fixed and flexible shower fittings, twin circular countertop wash basins and an enclosed WC, creating a dramatic suite with the feel of a boutique hotel.

Outside - Electronically operated gates open onto a substantial slate-chipped driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to an integral single garage. Contemporary rendered elevations, dark-framed windows and contrasting timber-effect cladding give the house a distinctive architectural presence, whilst mature trees provide an attractive backdrop.

Extensive artificial lawns are interspersed with contemporary pathways, raised and sunken seating areas and substantial composite decking, creating distinct areas in which to dine, relax and entertain throughout the day.
