This impressive four bedroom, two bathroom detached house presents a blend of classic period charm and modern convenience, making it an ideal family home and having been recently renovated, you can simply unpack and place your roots firmly in the ground here.

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.

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.
