Snug. 4 double bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. Landscaped South-facing rear garden with patio and lawn and private gate opening to footpath; off-road parking for multiple cars in an in-and-out driveway and with a garage to the front.

The detached property was originally built in 1966, and the exterior has been extensively refurbished with a new roof, new windows throughout, dormer windows and a pale grey Monocouche render, with up-and-down lighters creating a dramatic frontage at night. All the windows are double-glazed aluminium, with ventilation panels, and the entire roof has been replaced.

Enter via a solid aluminium Domadeco door with a glass window to the side, into a broad hallway, with lots of natural light and with richly toned Italian hardwood flooring. The entire ground floor has under-floor heating.

A modest reception room / snug is carpeted, and has views to the front, and which would be ideal as a library, hobby room, playroom or separate sitting room. A corridor leads through paned wooden doors to the private study, with space for a large desk, a bright skylight and a window to the side. There is a cloakroom with a wash hand basin and w.c.. And from the hallway, a double ground-floor bedroom suite (bedroom 4) is useful for multi-generational living, and has a window to the front, and an elegant en suite bathroom with floor-to-ceiling Italian porcelain tiles, a w.c., wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a walk-in shower.

Through the hallway and into the striking full-width open-plan kitchen / dining and living room. Floored throughout with the Italian hardwood, the lavish Olive & Barr wooden kitchen has been hand-painted in Farrow & Ball 'Railings' with brass fittings, and is finished with Italian marble work-surfaces. A large island with breakfast bar forms the centrepiece for the kitchen, with a double Belfast sink and Quooker boiling water tap. The Rangemaster gas range has 6 burners, 2 main ovens and 2 further plate-warmers, and is inset beneath a distressed mirrored splashback, with extractor hood over and recessed shelving. A fitted dresser has folding cupboard doors with hidden space for toaster, microwave and / or coffee machine. There is space for a fitted 'American-style' plumbed fridge freezer, and an integrated dishwasher. The hand-built kitchen also features a walk-in pantry with fitted shelves, and a separate laundry / utility room decorated to the same high standard, with a door to the garden, with space for a washer and a dryer, ample fitted cupboards, hanging space and shelving.

The kitchen island overlooks a generous flexible living space for a dining table and chairs, and on to the seating area which has a cast-iron wood-burning stove on a slate hearth, and a glass and aluminium 'lantern' in the roof to flood the space with natural light.

To the rear of the open-plan space is a broad expanse of sliding glass doors which open to the patio and garden.

From the entrance hallway, wooden stairs have been hand-built using the same Italian hardwood, and lead up past an attractive paned window and feature lighting. The landing has a dormer window and wooden flooring, and useful storage space.

The principal bedroom suite to the rear of the property is a real feature, with a generous double bedroom with a large window overlooking the garden, carpeted with fitted hand-painted wall-to-wall wardrobes, and a distinctive en suite bathroom, tiled in Italian porcelain in a marble style, with a double vanity, a double walk-in-shower with recessed drain, a wall-mounted w.c. and heated towel rail.

Bedroom 2 is a comfortable double, carpeted, with a dormer window to the side, and space for built-in wardrobes or desk space. Eaves storage provides useful space.

Bedroom 3 is a characterful double, carpeted with a window to the front, and space for either built-in wardrobes, or a desk space in a recess.

The family bathroom is tiled in Italian porcelain, with a large freestanding oval jacuzzi bath, a wash hand basin, a large shower with a recessed drain and glass fitted door, and a heated towel rail. All the bathrooms have motion-sensitive alcove lighting for convenience at night-time.
