The Heart of the Home The house opens into a large & beautifully-extended open-plan kitchen, dining and family space undoubtedly the social centre of the home. Designed for both connection and comfort, this is a space that effortlessly adapts from relaxed mornings to larger gatherings. The kitchen itself is finished to an exceptional standard, with extensive cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a substantial central island anchoring the room. There is a natural flow between cooking, dining and lounging areas, all bathed in light and opening directly onto the terrace through multiple sets of doors. This seamless transition to the outdoors is one of the home`s defining features blurring the line between inside and out, allowing the gardens to become an extension of the living space. A separate utility room with a second downstairs WC plus direct access to the double garage, ensures the practical elements of family life are equally well catered for. First Floor Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to five beautifully-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive generous in scale, with extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom, with a cleverly-disguised entrance from the bedroom. Large glazing frames uninterrupted views across the gardens, creating a peaceful, light-filled room. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, making it ideal for guests or older children, while the remaining bedrooms are all well-sized doubles, each thoughtfully styled and served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Gardens & Outdoor Living Externally, the home reveals its true sense of lifestyle. Set within approximately 0.39 acres, the gardens are expansive, private and immaculately landscaped, thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A large terrace spans the rear of the house, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining and entertaining, with direct access from the main living spaces. Beyond, the grounds open out to reveal a heated swimming pool, creating a distinct sense of retreat more reminiscent of a boutique hotel than a private home.
