The Property

Spanning approximately 3,856 sq ft, this home has been completely reimagined and rebuilt by the current owner with an uncompromising approach to detail, finish and flow. Every element has been considered, curated and executed with precision. The kitchen forms the heart of the home a beautifully appointed space with tiled flooring, bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances and a central island designed for both functionality and social living. A separate utility room, accessible internally and externally, adds further practicality. The ground floor unfolds into an impressive open-plan entertaining space seamlessly blending formal dining, relaxed living and a fully fitted bar area, complete with tap and compressor system for kegs. Underfloor heating runs throughout, while integrated ceiling surround sound enhances the atmosphere for hosting or unwinding. A statement log burner sits flush within the chimney breast, creating a striking focal point. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the patio, drawing the outside in and framing views across the garden. The principal lounge is equally impressive, measuring approximately 26’ x 17’, offering scale without compromising on warmth or comfort.

Upstairs continues the theme of quality and space. Five bedrooms are arranged alongside four bathrooms, three of which are en-suite. Each room is generously proportioned, with bedrooms two to five all offering true double accommodation. The principal suite is in a league of its own occupying its own private wing with a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear grounds. Thoughtfully designed across three zones, it incorporates a sleeping area, lounge space and dressing area, finished with a luxurious en-suite featuring freestanding bath, walk-in shower and dual basins. It’s a space that genuinely sets this home apart. Additional highlights include a study (or sixth bedroom), a beautifully finished main bathroom with freestanding tub and double shower, and a garage (9.4m x 3.9m) complete with electrics and workshop space.
