Heart of the home
The bespoke country-style kitchen/diner, full of storage solutions and space, is perfect for modern living. The kitchen is adorned with a range of sophisticated cream units with built in wine rack, iconic butler sink and rich dark wooden worktops that effortlessly blend aesthetics with practicality. There is a designated space for the Range cooker, which can be negotiated with the owner.
The beautiful built-in oak breakfast table island adds further elegant practicality to the space, complimented by the attractive oak wooden flooring that flows underfoot.

Step into the snug area, nestled at the rear of the kitchen, decorated in that classic neutral palate. Partitioned from the main room, this versatile area could be an office, play room or chill out space, to name but a few options. This home is a great entertaining space, whilst being flexible for family life.
OWNER QUOTE: We loved how spacious and open plan the downstairs area is, it is such a versatile space for all the family to enjoy, without being on top of one another.

Take the carpeted stairs to find four excellent size bedrooms (one with en suite shower room) a storage cupboard and a large, well-appointed family bathroom.
The spacious master bedroom has views over the front of the property, with oodles of fitted storage solutions and neutral décor. This generous-sized double has plenty of room for a big bed and furniture to match. The classically-styled, fully tiled ensuite shower room matches practicality with elegance.
Bedroom two is beautifully decorated with views over the side of the house through its large window. Another great-sized room with plenty of space makes this a calm and cosy place to rest.
Bedroom three looks out over the rear garden with French Doors opening out onto a Juliet balcony. With elegant décor and lots of room for storage, this room is great for an older child's bedroom perhaps.

The stylish sanctuary that is the family bathroom is well designed, ready for any morning routine. Its positioning close to all bedrooms makes real sense and the separate shower cubicle and soaker tub add to the stylish practicality so abundant in this property.

It features a huge free standing bath, double sinks with storage cupboards under. A large walk in shower, tastefully finished with a dark marble effect wall panel.
