The property provides four bedrooms positioned at opposite ends for maximum flexibility, served by a luxurious family bathroom with freestanding bath and a separate ensuite shower room. A bright dual-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove and dedicated study complete the interior, while outside, a private driveway leads to ample parking and garage with mezzanine storage. The beautifully maintained gardens feature level lawns, mature shrubs for privacy, raised vegetable beds, and multiple entertaining areas accessible via several sets of French doors throughout the home.
Accommodation - Step through the front door into a generous entrance hallway that immediately sets the tone for this thoughtfully designed home. The hallway offers an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder as well as a most useful utility cupboard with space and plumbing for washing and drying machines. Karndean flooring leads through to the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the social hub of this property. Elegant panelling and integrated shelving create a striking feature wall in the dining space, while French doors flood the area with natural light and provide seamless access to the paved terrace - ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen showcases premium Quartz worktops flowing around a central island, complemented by thoughtfully arranged floor and wall units. Complete with space for an electric range cooker, fridge freezer and integrated dishwasher, this kitchen is designed for both everyday cooking and hosting friends and family. Adjacent to the kitchen, the bright dual-aspect sitting room offers a perfect retreat, with French doors creating an airy atmosphere and a cosy wood-burning stove providing warmth during cooler months. A dedicated study provides an ideal work-from-home space.
The property's clever layout positions bedrooms at opposite ends, creating exceptional versatility for family life. Bedroom one features built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two offers equally generous proportions. Both rooms are served by an elegant family bathroom complete with a luxurious freestanding bath, separate shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail. A separate hallway leads from the kitchen/dining room and provides convenient access to the driveway and garden via French doors whilst also leading to bedrooms three and four. Bedroom four boasts its own French doors for added light and garden access, while both rooms benefit from a connecting ensuite shower room with walk-in shower facilities, WC and basin.
Outside - A private driveway provides convenient access to generous parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a practical garage with manual up-and-over door. The garage maximizes storage potential with a useful mezzanine level, while an additional shed positioned behind offers extra storage space. The beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the property, featuring level lawns that create a safe, family-friendly outdoor space. The south-west facing paved terrace, accessible from both the sitting room and kitchen-dining area, captures the best of the evening sun - perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining throughout the warmer months. Beyond the terrace, the level lawn extends across the garden, bordered by mature shrubs that provide natural privacy and year-round colour.
