Beautifully presented throughout, the Living Accommodation is light and spacious with many finishing touches that add to the sense of quality and style.
The front Porch opens to the Entrance Hall that sets the tone for the rest of the property with smart flooring, a glass balustrade to the stairs, a large coats cupboard and a door to the Guest WC.
To your right is the Living Room which the vendors use as a Snug/TV Room and to your left is the Kitchen with an excellent range of Shaker-style units with breakfast bar, integrated double oven, dishwasher, fridge and hob with extractor fan over. Off the Kitchen is the Utility with space for an American-style fridge freezer, plumbing for your washing machine and a door out to the rear Garden.
The Dining Room has French doors out to the Garden, with double doors open through to the Lounge which has a multi-fuel log burner set in an inset fire place with oak mantle over and light flooding in through the bi-folding doors that open up to the gorgeous rear Garden.
To the first floor, the Principal Bedroom is a light and welcoming space. The ceiling is open to the eaves with feature beams and Velux windows, and there's a balcony to the front of the property and a generous En Suite with corner shower. There are four further Double Bedrooms with one currently being used as an Office and the other as a Gym. Completing the accommodation is the stylish, part panelled Bathroom with a bath, separate shower, WC, double sink set on an oak vanity unit and the airing cupboard.
The property benefits from a large Garage with an electric roller door and workshop space, and a Bike Store that leads from the front of the house through to the stunning rear Garden. The Garden has a large central lawn with mature trees and shrub borders, a raised patio area, a corner seating area with raised timber beds, log store and summerhouse. A further patio area runs along the width of the property and round to the side where there are further raised beds and a gate that opens to the parking area.
