Extending to five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three reception rooms, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and further complemented by an impressive open-plan kitchen dining room, a separate utility, an integral double garage and a private rear garden.

Within the home
Entered via double doors, a spacious and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the home, leading seamlessly through to the principal living spaces.

At its heart lies the striking open-plan kitchen dining room, an exceptional space designed for both family life and entertaining. A vaulted ceiling with Velux windows floods the room with natural light, while French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out.

A separate utility room provides additional storage and space for laundry appliances, with convenient access to both the garden and the integral double garage.

The sitting room is a particularly impressive space, spanning the full width of the property. A feature fireplace provides a focal point, while triple-aspect windows and French doors draw in natural light throughout the day and offer attractive views over the garden. Adjoining is a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining, along with a third reception room that lends itself perfectly to use as a home office, snug or playroom.

To the first floor, a generous landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys a dual aspect, ensuring an abundance of natural light, and is complemented by a dressing room and a well-appointed en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower. Bedroom two benefits from its own en suite, whilst the remaining bedrooms, each comfortable doubles, are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

The rear garden is private and predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature planting and complemented by a block-paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months.

To the front, a substantial block-paved driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to the integral double garage.
