A truly outstanding, extensively extended and re-configured detached family residence, meticulously and extensively refurbished by the current owners to an exceptional standard. An architect was commissioned by the owners to modify and extend the existing bungalow into a light filled, open plan contemporary family home which has resulted in a home of remarkable style, comfort and distinction. The property includes expansive windows, glazed external doors and sliding doors which afford uninterrupted views over the west facing main garden and south facing courtyard, which are connected by a wrap around timber decked sun terrace.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by an inviting entrance hallway which immediately sets the tone for the style and space that unfolds beyond.

This effortless connection between indoors and outdoors creates a wonderful flow, ideal for summer entertaining or simply enjoying tranquil garden views throughout the seasons.

The dining area comfortably accommodates a substantial table and chairs, offering an elegant space for formal dinners or relaxed family meals. The kitchen is superbly appointed with a comprehensive range of stylish, contemporary units complemented by built in cooking appliances, whilst a breakfast bar provides an informal seating area, perfect for morning coffee, casual dining or socialising while entertaining.
