Set on a gentle curve with an open greensward opposite, this is a home that immediately feels well positioned, both within the road and in how it sits within its plot. Beyond the frontage, the space inside begins to reveal itself, extending to over 2,800 square feet and arranged in thoughtful way that supports both everyday family life and something far more social when needed.

The entrance hall gives the first indication of scale, with a central position that connects the house naturally. Light drops down from the galleried landing above, and from here, each of the principal rooms can be reached without compromise.

To the left hand side, the main living room runs the depth of the house, drawing light from both front and rear. It is a room that works just as well for quieter evenings as it does when opened up to the garden, with French doors providing that direct connection outside.

From here, the dining room sits neatly between the living room and the kitchen, giving it a practical role day to day, but also allowing it to stand on its own when needed.

The kitchen is the day to day hub, fitted with a full range of units and integrated appliances, with a peninsula that naturally becomes a place to gather. It opens through into a more relaxed sitting area, where a wood burning stove anchors the space and doors lead straight out to the garden. This part of the house feels particularly well judged, informal, connected, and designed around how people actually live.

A further reception to the front offers flexibility as a study, playroom or additional sitting room, depending on what is required.


Upstairs, the galleried landing continues that sense of openness, linking four of the bedrooms and the family bathroom. Each room is a well proportioned double, with a mix of front and rear aspects, including three rear-facing bedrooms that look out across the garden to open countryside beyond. The dormer rooms to the front (bedrooms four and five) add a different character, with plantation shutters and a layout that works equally well for children, guests or workspace.

The principal bedroom sits apart, accessed via its own staircase, which changes the dynamic entirely. It is a notably large, dual aspect room that offers real flexibility, easily accommodating not just a bedroom suite but additional furniture or a seating area if desired. It connects through to a Jack and Jill shower room, which also serves the adjacent second bedroom, creating a practical arrangement for family or guests.



Outside is where this home begins to take on a different role altogether. The rear garden has been carefully arranged to create a series of usable spaces rather than one open expanse. There is a broad deck that links directly to the studio, a pergola-covered terrace with a hot tub, and a central lawn that keeps the space grounded and usable day to day.

Each area works independently, but together they form something that is clearly designed around entertaining and spending time outside.

The excellent studio provides a standout addition. Currently arranged with a bar and seating area, it offers a space that feels separate from the main house without being disconnected. It is equally suited to hosting, hobbies or simply having somewhere to retreat to, and it changes how the garden can be used throughout the year.

To the front, the open aspect across the greensward gives a sense of space that is not always found on modern developments, while the driveway and double garage provide the practical side of things, with parking and storage well covered.

This is a house that offers more than just raw square footage. It is the combination of layout, setting and how the spaces interact that makes it work, equally suited to a growing family, multi-generational living, or anyone looking for a home that can adapt as life changes.

A driveway leads through to the double garage, offering practical off-road parking, while the approach to the house is framed by planting and a neat pathway to the entrance.

Surrounding this, there are multiple defined seating areas, including a substantial decked terrace that connects naturally with the garden studio, creating a strong focal point for entertaining. Closer to the house, a paved patio sits beneath an Oak frame pergola, offering a sheltered spot for seating alongside a hot tub. The layout allows different zones to be used independently or together, depending on the occasion, giving the garden a flexible, social feel. The studio at the far end adds a real sense of purpose to the space, while established planting and fencing provide a good level of privacy. There is also an additional shed for storage, and gated side access on both sides of the property, making the garden practical as well as well considered.
