Description Of Property - A substantial and beautifully presented five-bedroom detached residence, occupying an attractive position within this highly regarded residential setting, offering approximately 3,061 Sq. ft of accommodation including the garage. The property provides an impressive combination of generously proportioned reception rooms, five bedrooms, excellent ancillary accommodation and beautifully landscaped gardens, complemented by an extensive brick-paved frontage and a superb private rear terrace.

From the moment of arrival, the property creates an impressive first impression. The broad frontage is approached via electric double gates and offers an expanse of attractive red brick block paving, creating an elegant courtyard setting and providing excellent parking and access to the substantial attached garage. At the centre of the frontage is a particularly attractive circular planter, edged in brick and beautifully planted with an abundance of colourful seasonal flowers, providing a charming focal point. The accommodation is equally impressive, with the ground floor arranged around a particularly spacious reception hall which provides an excellent sense of arrival and connects the principal living spaces. The lounge is a generous and elegant reception room, beautifully proportioned. Plush grey carpeting complements the room, whilst the outstanding traditional Tudor-style carved stone fireplace surround, with Tudor Arch opening and decorative detailing, provides a distinctive architectural focal point and lends the room a timeless character. The formal dining room is similarly well proportioned and offers an excellent space for entertaining and family dining. Like the lounge, it is finished with plush grey carpeting, creating a warm and sophisticated ambience. A separate home office provides an increasingly desirable dedicated workspace, whilst the additional sitting room offers further flexibility and could equally serve as a more informal family room, reading room or secondary reception space. One of the property's most appealing features is the superb orangery, which extends across the rear of the accommodation. The room is enhanced by an Ultraframe Livinroof Hybrid Conservatory Roof System, combining the benefits of a substantial solid roof structure with the glazed elements of a traditional conservatory. Attractive box/bow bay-style glazing creates an elegant architectural feature, while the rear-facing windows provide a delightful outlook across the garden and allow the room to be bathed in natural light.

The kitchen is a particularly practical and well-equipped space. At its centre is a substantial island incorporating an electric induction hob and extractor, together with a useful breakfast bar, creating an informal place for everyday dining and conversation. The kitchen further benefits from double ovens and integrated appliances, alongside an excellent amount of fitted storage and preparation space. The kitchen window enjoys a side-facing aspect, overlooking the landscaped side grounds of the property and providing an attractive outlook and good natural illumination. A well-appointed utility room provides excellent additional storage and incorporates an integrated microwave oven, whilst a convenient guest WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor reveals an impressive five-bedroom arrangement, making the property particularly well suited to family occupation. The principal bedroom is a superbly proportioned room, complemented by a dedicated walk-in wardrobe and a generous private en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are both substantial double rooms, while bedroom four is also generously proportioned. The fifth bedroom provides valuable versatility and could be utilised as a further bedroom, nursery, dressing room or home office depending upon the purchaser's requirements.

All five bedrooms benefit from plush light grey carpeting, creating a calm and cohesive finish across the first floor. The family bathroom is particularly impressive, having been finished in a sophisticated monochrome palette. A generous separate shower enclosure features contemporary black metal framing with subtly tinted grey glass, whilst the shower area itself is finished in striking black tiling extending from floor to ceiling. The remainder of the bathroom benefits from elegant beige floor-to-ceiling tiling, providing a softer contrast to the darker shower enclosure. A long, sleek matt-black contemporary heated towel radiator adds a further sophisticated finishing touch.

Outside, the property is complemented by gardens which are every bit as impressive as the accommodation. The rear garden provides a wonderful degree of privacy, with a generous lawn enclosed by mature hedging and established trees. A particularly striking group of mature evergreen trees creates a dramatic backdrop and gives the garden a secluded, established character. Immediately adjoining the house is an extensive paved terrace, providing a superb outdoor entertaining area. The generous proportions allow for dedicated seating and dining areas, while the mature planting and abundance of colourful flowers soften the hard landscaping and create an inviting setting for entertaining during the warmer months. Large contemporary planters, established shrubs and architectural planting provide structure throughout, while the extensive terrace offers ample space for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining. The rear garden is therefore as practical as it is attractive, providing an excellent extension to the property's living accommodation during the summer months.
