Each room offers an impressive outlook whilst the bespoke living kitchen presents a sociable entertaining space opening directly onto the landscaped garden. A sunken lounge offers exceptional proportions, with doors inviting the outdoors inside whilst a home cinema room completes the ground floor.

In short, an awe inspiring family home, presenting comfort, style and contemporary charm, which will not fail to impress the most discerning of home buyers. 

The Ground Floor Enter the reception hall through a covered portico from the courtyard which shelters the front door opening to reveal a stunning hallway immediately offering an impressive introduction to the property, eyes being drawn to the high ceiling height, a theme which continues throughout. A delightful view through the lounge and dining room towards the gardens at the rear set the scene whilst a full height window extending to the second floor invites tremendous levels of natural light inside. There are useful cloaks and shoe cupboards and a cloaks room is presented with a three piece suite including a shower. An oak strip floor runs throughout the hall and into the cloakroom, kitchen, dining, cinema and utility rooms.

A spacious dining kitchen most certainly forms the heart of the home; the kitchen is beautifully presented with a comprehensive range of SieMatic cabinets, all arranged around a central island and topped with Granite surfaces. An inset sink has a Quooker instant hot tap, plus chilled & sparkling water, which is backed by a beautiful glass splashback, providing a flash of warm colour. The island houses the hob, which sits beneath a canopy within the contoured ceiling with diffused lighting. The island continues into a contemporary styled breakfast bar comfortably offering seating for six and is positioned looking through a bay of windows and patio doors towards the garden directly onto a flagstone terrace. A complement of appliances includes a Neff steam oven, microwave and twin convection ovens, along with an integrated fridge, freezer and a dishwasher.

The kitchen is partly open plan to the central dining room, creating an easy flowing space which enables the dining room to be used equally well for formal or casual dining. There is a beautifully contoured ceiling and views over the garden through a bank of full length windows and patio doors.

A utility offers generous space and is presented with furniture with a work surface incorporating a sink unit.

The lounge offers exceptional proportions, a stunning sunken room, steps leading down from the hallway, the eye immediately being drawn to a bank of tall windows and doors opening to the terraced garden resulting in fantastic levels of natural light whilst inviting the outdoors inside. There is a high contoured ceiling and a long stone hearth which spans the length of the room and brings a run of natural warm colour into the room, beneath the cassette stove which sits next to a smart recessed log store.

A snug offers versatile accommodation and is currently used as a home cinema room with windows to the front set within stone mullioned surrounds.

The high ceiling flows over the superb en-suite; a well designed bathroom presented with Villeroy and Bosch furniture to include a double ended bath and twin basins on a marble surfaced cabinet, set beneath a large mirror. The W.C is tucked away behind a discreet frosted glass screen and the shower enclosure has a window looking into the bedroom.
