Description

This impressive four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached home combines contemporary style, generous family living space, and attractive kerb appeal. The property opens onto a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to an integral garage, set against a well-kept front garden with neat hedges and mature planting.
A modern front door framed by glass panels welcomes you into a bright and spacious hallway, where stylish herringbone wood flooring and a striped carpeted staircase create an elegant first impression. The layout boasts two expansive reception rooms, offering open-plan living and dining areas, seamlessly connected by elegant wooden doors and enhanced by large bay windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Plush seating areas, decorative fireplace features, and striking mural walls create an inviting yet sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family. French doors from the dining area open directly onto the garden, blending indoor and outdoor living.
The heart of the home is a modern, well-appointed kitchen, complete with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a large stainless steel range cooker. Ample countertop space and a generous window ensure a bright and functional cooking environment, while an adjoining utility room provides additional storage and houses modern appliances, including a washing machine and dryer. The property also benefits from a convenient downstairs W.C.
Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed with comfort and practicality in mind. The spacious master bedroom features an elegant chandelier, plush carpet flooring, built-in wardrobes, and the added benefit of an en-suite shower room suite. The remaining bedrooms offer ample built-in storage, decorative wallpaper, and abundant natural light. The main family bathroom exudes luxury, showcasing contemporary tiling, a heated towel rail, modern fixtures, and a freestanding bath-tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Beyond the interior, this property truly excels in its outdoor offerings. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a standout feature, providing lush lawn areas, a spacious decked patio area with stylish outdoor seating, and a charming gazebo for shaded relaxation. A hot tub under a covered area adds a touch of luxury, making the garden a year-round retreat for both entertaining and private enjoyment. The garden further benefits from an impressive outdoor built bar and a summerhouse, creating excellent additional spaces for hosting, relaxing, or flexible use.
Eco-conscious buyers will appreciate the addition of solar panels, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced running costs. The garden also includes a brick outbuilding for flexible storage or workspace use, as well as a neatly maintained shed. Personalised decor throughout adds warmth and individuality.
