-[about your new home]-

The first thing you'll notice when you arrive at this property on Stratton Drive is just how much space greets you out front. The home sits proudly on a generous corner plot, giving you a vast stretch of lawn that instantly sets it apart from others on the street. There's something comforting about the way the house presents itself a neat, semi-detached home with a smart front door that feels welcoming.

To your right, the sizeable block-paved driveway offers more than enough room for multiple cars, making life that little bit easier when friends or family come to visit. It leads directly to a generous double detached garage, ideal for storing bikes or tools, or even converting into a gym or workshop space if that's more your thing.

What's great here is how open everything feels. There's no sense of being boxed in. The corner plot gives you that extra breathing room, and you can already start to imagine how lovely the front garden could look with a few flower beds.

Step through the front door and into your entrance hall, where there's space to hang up your coat, kick off your shoes, and instantly feel at home.

Moving into the reception room you'll see the living space has been magnificently modernised. It's bright, spacious, and features wonderful contemporary touches. In addition to the natural light pouring in from the wide front-facing window, casting a gentle glow across the wood effect flooring, the ceiling spotlights add to the brightness no matter the time of day. You'll naturally be drawn to the striking feature wall, featuring the integrated alcove shelving for family portraits, decorative items and space for a wall-mounted TV, complete with space also for a wood-burning style stove. From curling up on the sofa on a Sunday evening to hosting friends and family for a social gathering, this living room is a place to be proud of.

Continue through those internal double doors and you'll find yourself in a fantastic open-plan kitchen and dining area. There's a natural rhythm to how the space is arranged, making everyday tasks and special occasions equally enjoyable.

Take a closer look at the kitchen and you'll see it's been finished with care and style. Spotlights tucked into the kickboards and under-cabinet lighting add a subtle glow, perfect for setting the mood as you cook.

Just off to the side, the dining area gives you room to gather, eat and catch up. Patio doors lead you out to the conservatory, offering an extra flexible living space that could be a garden room, playroom, or home office, depending on what suits your lifestyle best.

Step through the patio doors at the back of the house and you'll find yourself in your private courtyard-style garden. It's a peaceful, low-maintenance space that gives you all the room you need to unwind or entertain.

The garden has been paved in a warm terracotta tone that brings a Mediterranean feel to the space. Whether you're pulling up a couple of chairs and soaking up the sunshine, setting up a barbecue with friends, or letting the kids scoot about, this garden gives you the freedom to enjoy it your way. There's no lawn to worry about, so your weekends stay free for relaxing, not mowing.

Along one side, a lovely pergola section adds a little touch of charm. It's easy to picture this area strung with fairy lights or climbing plants, becoming your evening retreat with a glass of wine in hand.

It's a tidy, practical outdoor space that still offers plenty of personality and potential, whether you want a suntrap courtyard or a space to entertain all year round.

Back inside, follow the staircase up and arrive at the first-floor landing, complete with a handy storage cupboard. While the ground floor has already had its stylish transformation, the upper level gives you the chance to put your own stamp on things, creating something that matches your taste and lifestyle.

With a generous footprint to work with, you've got the perfect canvas to bring your ideas to life. The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the property. It's a brilliant size, with a full wall of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage, making everyday life that bit easier. You'll have no shortage of storage, and there's a cosy feel to the room that makes it a relaxing space to unwind. Here you'll also find your private en-suite, fitted with a striking hydro-massage shower pod and stylish vanity basin. Whether you're in need of a quick morning boost or a peaceful moment to yourself, it adds that little bit of everyday luxury.

Next door, you'll find the second double bedroom, which is positioned at the rear. It's a blank canvas with lovely natural light, making it ideal for a guest room, a teenager's space, or even a shared bedroom for the little ones. Again, there's plenty of scope here to make it your own.

And then there's the family bathroom, tucked at the end of the landing. Crisp and modern, it features a bath with a glass shower screen, basin, W/C and neutral tiling, giving you everything you need in a clean, simple layout. Whether you're running a quick bath for the kids or indulging in a soak at the end of a long day, this room's ready to serve.
