Description
The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall with light oak flooring flowing throughout much of the space. To the front is a bay-fronted living room centred around a multi-fuel stove, while to the rear sits the true heart of the home, a stunning bespoke open-plan kitchen, living and dining space finished with light oak flooring and two sets of bifold doors opening directly onto the garden. Designed around modern family living and entertaining, the space combines practicality with an exceptional finish. A generous utility room with further garden access, downstairs WC and useful understairs storage complete the ground floor.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom with underfloor heating. A spacious landing area has also been cleverly utilised as a home office space.
The second floor is dedicated to an impressive principal suite, featuring a bespoke fully fitted walk-in dressing room and an en-suite shower room with underfloor heating. A further room on this floor provides excellent versatility, currently arranged as a second home office but equally suited as a nursery or cot room.
Externally - The property is approached via a block paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, with power already installed offering potential for electric gates. There is also a lawned front garden and a double garage with electric door and rear garden access in addition to an electric car charging point.
To the rear is a generous private garden enjoying a sunny aspect, mainly laid to lawn with a delightful patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A superbly finished home where quality, layout and location come together exceptionally well.
