With just shy of 2,000 sq ft, gated entrance and 0.23 acre plot there is so much on offer here.

Welcome Home If you’re looking for a substantial detached home with real presence, versatile accommodation and beautifully sociable living space, then Cintra is going to be hard to ignore.

Set behind smart electric gates with a wide in-and-out style gravel driveway, this striking home has immediate kerb appeal.

The weatherboard-style cladding and broad frontage give it a smart New England-inspired look, setting the tone before you’ve even stepped inside.

Extending to 1,959 sq ft, the layout is both generous and flexible, with a great balance between open plan living, separate reception space and well-proportioned bedrooms.

The current owners have clearly invested heavily in the property and the result is a home that feels stylish, spacious and very much ready to move straight into.

At the heart of the home is the standout open plan kitchen/lounge/dining room, measuring an impressive 34' x 23'.

It is exactly the kind of space that suits modern living - roomy enough for day-to-day family life, but equally well set up for entertaining on a much larger scale.

The herringbone flooring adds warmth and character, while the central stove helps to gently define the living space without interrupting the flow.

The kitchen itself is sociable by design, with a large breakfast bar that naturally becomes the gathering point when friends or family are round.

One of the real strengths of Cintra is its versatility. Positioned separately from the main bedroom wing is the family room, measuring 17 x 15', and this is far more than just an extra reception room.

It is a striking space with a vaulted ceiling, rooflights and freestanding stove, giving it a character all of its own.

It would work beautifully as a second sitting room, games room, studio, guest suite or even a particularly impressive fifth bedroom, depending on what a buyer needs.

The bedroom accommodation is well balanced. The principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, while bedrooms two and three are both comfortable doubles.

The fourth bedroom offers further flexibility as a bedroom, nursery or study.

In total there are four bedrooms, two en-suites and a separate family bathroom, making the layout well suited to family life, guests or multi-generational living.

The family bathroom, with underfloor heating, is a real showpiece and has been finished to an exceptional standard.

Beautifully styled with a boutique feel, it features a standalone bath and a walk-in shower with built-in seating, combining practicality with a more luxurious edge.

Step Outside Outside, the rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect, which makes a real difference.

There is a paved terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining, opening onto an area of lawn that is ideal for children, pets or simply enjoying the sunshine through the day.

The garden feels private and enclosed, while still being easy to maintain. There is also a detached garden room plus a separate storage area, which adds yet more flexibility.

Whether used as a home office, gym (current use), studio or hobby room, it is a genuinely useful addition rather than just a nice extra.

To the front, the gated, sweeping driveway provides a strong sense of arrival along with ample parking for several vehicles, and the covered car port is another practical bonus.

Overall, Cintra is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye.

The square footage is excellent, the room proportions are impressive and the layout is versatile enough to suit a range of buyers.

Above all, it is the combination of spacious open plan living, strong entertaining space, smart presentation and distinctive New England-style kerb appeal that makes this such a compelling home.
