At the heart of the property is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, featuring a central island, four Velux roof windows and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the south-facing rear garden. The ground floor also benefits from a separate, carpeted bay-fronted living room and a WC, with attractive oak-effect herringbone luxury vinyl tile flooring flowing through the entrance hall, kitchen, dining and family room and WC, complemented by wet underfloor heating throughout. Upstairs, two double bedrooms are complemented by a contemporary family bathroom, whilst the entire second floor is dedicated to a private principal bedroom suite with its own en-suite shower room.

Entrance Hall:
A composite front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, featuring attractive oak-effect herringbone luxury vinyl tile flooring, which continues through to the kitchen, dining and family room and ground-floor WC. A front-facing double-glazed window allows natural light into the space, whilst the staircase rises to the first-floor landing. A useful understairs cupboard provides practical storage for household essentials, with oak internal doors leading to the principal ground-floor rooms.

Living Room:
Positioned at the front of the property, this separate living room provides a comfortable retreat away from the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. An attractive double-glazed bay window creates a characterful focal point whilst allowing plenty of natural light into the space. The room benefits from fitted carpeting, wet underfloor heating and recessed ceiling spotlights, creating an inviting setting for relaxing and unwinding.

Kitchen, Dining & Family Room:
Undoubtedly one of the property's standout features, this impressive open-plan room provides a superb setting for modern family life, combining cooking, dining, and relaxation within one beautifully connected space.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, complemented by work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A central island creates an attractive focal point and incorporates a four-ring Zanussi induction hob with an extractor hood positioned above. Further appliances include an eye-level Indesit double oven, a Hotpoint dishwasher and an integrated Hotpoint washing machine. A one-and-a-half-bowl sink with drainer and mixer tap completes the main kitchen arrangement, with additional worktop space and provision for a further appliance.

The dining area comfortably accommodates a table for at least eight people, making it particularly well suited to family meals and entertaining. Beyond this, the room extends into an additional seating area, currently arranged with a sofa and television point, providing a relaxed alternative to the separate living room.

Four Velux roof windows introduce an abundance of natural light into the rear section, whilst full-width bi-fold doors create an excellent connection with the south-facing garden. During the warmer months, these can be opened to bring the outside in, creating a fantastic space for entertaining.

The oak-effect herringbone luxury vinyl tile flooring continues throughout, complemented by wet underfloor heating and recessed ceiling spotlights, giving the entire room a cohesive and high-quality finish.

Ground Floor WC:
The ground-floor WC is fitted with a close-coupled toilet and a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, providing useful storage. The continuation of the oak-effect herringbone flooring and wet underfloor heating maintains the consistent finish found throughout the ground floor.

First Floor

Landing:

A heated towel radiator and recessed ceiling spotlights complete the room.

Second Floor

Master Bedroom Suite:
Occupying the second floor, the principal bedroom provides an attractive retreat away from the remainder of the accommodation, offering the additional privacy and convenience of its own en-suite shower room.

The bedroom benefits from front- and rear-facing Velux roof windows, introducing natural light from both aspects. There is ample room for bedroom furniture, whilst a built-in cupboard and additional storage within the eaves provide useful space without compromising the main bedroom area. Central heating radiators complete the room, with a door leading directly into the en-suite.

En-Suite Shower Room:
The private en-suite is fitted with a shower enclosure featuring sliding glass doors, a mains-fed shower and tiled surround. Further fittings include a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit with a tiled splashback, and a close-coupled WC. Ceiling spotlights and a heated towel radiator complete this well-appointed space.

Outside

Rear Garden:
The property enjoys a south-facing rear garden, thoughtfully arranged to provide an attractive outdoor space with minimal upkeep required. Accessed directly through the bi-fold doors from the kitchen, dining and family room, the garden begins with a porcelain-tiled patio, complemented by a timber-covered shelter which provides a defined area for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Beyond the patio is an artificial lawn, offering year-round practicality, with a timber garden shed positioned towards the rear for additional storage. The garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing, with only a small number of bungalows situated beyond the rear boundary.

A block-paved pathway runs alongside the property, providing gated access to the front driveway.

Frontage & Parking:
To the front, the property benefits from an extensive block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for up to five vehicles, a particularly useful feature for households with multiple cars or visiting guests.

An artificial lawn provides a low-maintenance frontage, whilst attractive stone wall detailing adds character and complements the neighbouring stone boundary wall. The property also enjoys attractive open countryside views to the front, providing a pleasing outlook.
