Description
The property opens to a welcoming entrance with elegant modern flooring, setting the tone for the stylish interiors throughout. The heart of the home is the spacious open plan, contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, which boasts sleek modern cabinetry in soft olive tones, integrated appliances, and generous storage solutions. Multiple windows flood the kitchen with natural light, and a breakfast bar provides both the perfect spot for a casual dining or a coffee and catch up with friends or family. A door from here leads through to the living/dining room which blooms with natural light from large bay windows, complemented by plush carpeting, neutral decor, and feature fireplace, create a warm and inviting habitat to nestle into on cold winter nights. Rooted right next door, through a set of wooden double doors is another versatile reception room, cosy enough for your little saplings to play to their hearts content or to gather sprouting family members together for entertaining or relaxing on a movie night. Adjacent you’ll find a well appointed utility and boot room featuring space for integrated appliances, modern wood flooring, perfect for the horticultural types with direct access to the rear gardens, removing muddy boots or cleaning dirty paws and finally a good size WC completes the ground floor.
Heading upstairs this magnificent nest expands further with four generously sized bedrooms, with bedrooms two, three and four budding plenty of space for all your furniture needs. To the end of the landing you’ll find the impressive family bathroom where the current vendors have gone out on a limb with this elegant and luxurious space, with a free standing bathtub, vanity unit with double sinks, W.C and separate shower enclosure.
