About
This stunning home is approached by a paved double width driveway and its front door opens into a bright entrance hall, which leads past a useful WC and through to the bright dual aspect kitchen/dining room.
Configured to provide plenty of storage space and accommodating a number of integrated appliances, the kitchen has a breakfast bar for informal dining and there is ample additional room for a dining table and chairs.
Planning approval has been obtained for a single storey extension to further expand the room if required, with the design including a large roof lantern and bi-fold doors to the garden and a recent partial conversion of the garage has created a stylish cinema room with access to a separate utility room.
Stairs from the hall lead to the first floor where the generously proportioned landing gives access to an impressive reception room with spanning the full width of the front of the property.
Beautifully finished with smart herring bone flooring, it is a bright space with glazed double doors to two Juliette balconies.
To the rear, there is a large principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room and separate dressing room.
There are three further double bedrooms on the second floor, as well as a sizeable family bathroom with freestanding bath, and a conversion of the loft space has created a further double room on the third floor, flooded with light through large rooflights.
The property has a pleasant landscaped rear garden with decked seating areas, a good sized lawn with smart synthetic grass and a woodchipped play area.
