The Property Approached via a covered entrance porch, the welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone for this beautifully presented and thoughtfully designed family home.

Timber floorboards extend through much of the ground floor, complemented by double glazing throughout.

A particular strength of the property is its exceptionally versatile ground-floor accommodation, offering the flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of a modern family.

Currently arranged as a children's playroom, television room and home office, these rooms could equally lend themselves to bedrooms, a study, snug or additional reception space.

The home office, with its fitted storage, could also potentially be reconfigured to create an en-suite shower room to one of the ground-floor rooms, subject to the necessary consents and works.

To the rear, the impressive dual-aspect sitting room provides a wonderful principal reception space, centred around a bespoke media wall with a contemporary LED electric flame-effect fire.

Full-width double-glazed bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear decked terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and garden and an ideal setting for both relaxed family living and entertaining.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home.

The kitchen is fitted with an impressive range of wall and floor-mounted units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and attractive coloured tiled splashbacks.

A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes an oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine chiller, fridge and freezer.

There is also useful larder storage and a concealed television shelf, while the clearly defined dual aspect dining area provides an inviting space for everyday meals and entertaining.

Further practical accommodation includes a ground floor WC, shelved airing cupboard/boiler room and a well-equipped utility room, offering additional storage, space for washing appliances and a door leading directly to the rear garden.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from fitted wardrobes.

Two of the bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite shower rooms, while a further independent family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

Motion-activated lighting features throughout the bathroom and shower room accommodation.

Immediately adjoining the house is a substantial composite decked terrace, creating a natural extension of the living space.
