Welcome Home

Enter through the covered storm porch into the hallway, where walnut laminate flooring complements the neutral décor, setting a warm and inviting tone.

Flow into the inviting lounge, where the soft and neutral décor creates a versatile backdrop. The central chimney breast is a focal point of the room, cleverly designed as a media wall with an inset space for a wall-mounted TV. Below, a stylish electric wood-effect fire with a glass façade adds warmth and charm, providing the perfect centerpiece to arrange your furniture around.

A set of French doors open onto the rear garden, flooding the space with natural light and seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. On warm summer days, these doors allow you to extend your living area outside, creating an ideal setting for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet moments with family.

Next door discover a stunning modern kitchen featuring sleek gloss white and grey cabinetry paired with a complementary white Quartz worktop. This stylish kitchen includes a Neff induction hob with an extractor, a basin with a traditional mixer tap, and an additional Quooker tap. Integrated Neff appliances include two 'slide and hide' traditional ovens, a microwave oven and grill, a steam oven, a full-length fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher, and a wine fridge.

Practicality is prioritised with large larder-style cupboards equipped with convenient sliding shelves, providing ample storage for all your essentials. The addition of underfloor heating ensures a warm and comfortable environment, enhancing the overall functionality and luxury of the space.

French doors set within a bay, flanked by windows on either side, open to the rear garden, providing ideal access for socialising and summer barbecues.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room maintains the same chic design aesthetic. This room is equipped with plumbing for a washer-dryer, an extra basin for added convenience, and plentiful cupboard space for additional storage.

The second reception room is located at the front of the home, featuring an elegant arched window with fitted French shutters. Currently set up as an office, this versatile space can easily be transformed into a sitting room, separate dining room, playroom, or hobby room, depending on your needs and preferences.

Also accessible from the central entrance hall is the modern downstairs WC with a stylish vanity sink and integral storage, offering both functionality and contemporary design.

Bedroom Bliss

Returning to the hallway, follow the staircase to the first floor where four bedrooms await.

The main bedroom features a striking striped blue wallcovering behind the bed, complemented by deep blue on two walls with recessed spotlighting above the headboard. The room is finished with neutral carpeting and a window looking out over the rear garden, offering ample space for a full set of furniture.

Step into the ensuite, featuring a vanity sink and WC unit with walnut-coloured cupboards, a corner shower with a glazed enclosure, and creamy tiling on the floor and walls. The space also includes underfloor heating for added comfort.

At the front of the home, the second double bedroom is elegantly decorated in white and grey, featuring a bank of fitted wardrobes with mirrored doors that add a touch of sophistication and enhance the sense of space.

Adjacent to this room, the third bedroom also comfortably accommodates a double bed along with other furniture. This room is distinguished by two circular windows that offer unique views of the front and side elevations, adding character and charm.

The fourth bedroom, located at the back of the house, is currently set up as a study, making it ideal for those who work from home. However, it can easily be converted into a single bedroom or nursery, offering flexibility to meet your needs.

Serving the bedrooms is a three-piece bathroom featuring a WC, a pedestal sink, and a P-shaped bath with an overhead shower and glazed screen. The bathroom is partly tiled with white tiles around the shower area, accented by a vertical mosaic band, and finished with contrasting floor tiles for a stylish touch.

Step Outside

Returning downstairs, step out through the French doors from either the kitchen or lounge.

Bask in the sunshine in this enclosed garden, which offers a perfect setting for barbecues and evening soirees with family and friends from noon until night. The fencing ensures a safe and secure environment for children and pets. Beyond the patio, a well-maintained lawn with curved edges extends out, bordered by attractive flower beds on the sides and rear, creating a beautifully landscaped garden.

The current owners have partitioned the garage into two functional spaces. One section, accessed by one of the garage doors, serves as a typical storage area for miscellaneous items. The other section has been transformed into a home gym, providing a versatile space that could be used for various purposes.
