Approach the home through electric iron gates, providing privacy and security for the home. Continue inside the home, where you’ll discover a generously sized living room, complemented by a bright bay window and glazed French doors that flood the room with natural light. An electric fire makes this room cosy, but tucked behind is a log burner.
The heart of this home is an open-plan kitchen/living/dining space offering a sleek kitchen with shaker-style base and overhead cabinetry, an integrated fridge/freezer, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler, and a five-burner gas hob. A floor-to-ceiling picture window overlooks the rear garden, perfectly blending the indoors and outdoors. Off the kitchen you’ll find a convenient utility room, and completing the ground floor is a handy W/C and storage cupboard.
Upstairs the master suite awaits with its own dressing area and ensuite shower room. You’ll also discover three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom boasting a free-standing double-ended bath and a walk-in rainfall shower.
Externally, a South-West facing garden provides a home for all things entertaining.
