A sizeable driveway leads up to a separate garage. The property is set back from the road making for a peaceful abode.

On entering the property, an immaculately presented central hallway welcomes you into this considerable home and provides a handy spot for storing outdoor shoes and clothing. A convenient ground floor cloakroom and separate utility room are immediately accessible. The lounge is positioned at the front of the property and has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones being well-lit by a sizable south facing window and balcony. The room centres around a stunning feature fireplace and is an inviting space to relax.
A handy home office is currently located in the room adjacent; a highly versatile space the room could easily be used as a home gym or playroom.

Set at the rear of the property is the generously-sized open-plan statement kitchen, dining and family room. Sleek white countertops and base mounted units with edge pull handles wrap around the room concealing a range of integrated appliances juxtaposing a dark wood island unit and hot pink back splash. The room is fantastically sized for entertaining; accommodating a dining area and an additional family sitting area which looks out towards the garden. Bi-folding patio doors and a large glass lantern roof draw in natural light and create the perfect space for outdoor living.

There are four generous double bedrooms on the first floor, three benefiting from an abundance of handy built-in cupboard space; with the main suite enjoying a contemporary style en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe.

The second largest bedroom on this floor is well-proportioned and again boasts a private en-suite shower room. An amply sized family bathroom is positioned centrally offering a modern white suite in a slate grey tile setting.

A fifth good-sized double bedroom spreads out across the entire second floor, featuring ample eaves storage space and a modern en-suite shower room.

Outside

The garden can be accessed from the rear open plan family room and a handy side gate. The space is arranged over two levels and is thoughtfully landscaped to accommodate a variety of uses. Bi-folding doors open out directly onto a spacious patio, excellent for outdoor dining during the summer. Stairs lead up to a large lawn, bordered on each side by well-tended trees and shrubs.
