About
Set behind private gated access on one of Lightwater’s most sought after locations, this distinctive detached home occupies a generous southerly facing plot of approximately 0.27 acres, offering an exceptional level of space, privacy and flexibility.
The property is offered with no onward chain.
The property is ideally suited to a wide range of living arrangements, whether for growing families, multi-generational living, or those seeking space to work and entertain from home.
The central entrance hallway creates an immediate sense of arrival, with quality porcelain flooring leading through to a fluid and adaptable ground floor layout.
To the rear, a spacious living room opens into a garden room, forming a generous open-plan living space ideal for everyday family life or entertaining, with direct views over the rear garden.
To the front, a dual-aspect bay-fronted reception room offers flexibility as a formal lounge, playroom, bedroom, home office or snug.
The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and has been designed as a true social hub, featuring modern high-gloss units, thick square-edge Corian worktops, a range of integrated appliances and a central breakfast island.
A stylish pantry and large utility room further enhance the practicality of the space, while bi-folding doors allow the kitchen to open directly onto the garden during the warmer months.
A key feature of the property is the flexible bedroom accommodation, with two generous bedrooms located on the ground floor, ideal for guest suites, older family members, or alternative uses such as home offices or studios.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing excellent separation of living and sleeping areas.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a four-piece family bathroom.
Outside, the southerly facing garden has been designed to complement both entertaining and relaxation, featuring a large patio area, outdoor kitchen with clay pizza oven, hot tub and expansive lawn.
A purpose-built log cabin with power at the rear of the garden offers further adaptable space, ideal for home working, a gym or hobby room.
To the front, the property provides ample off-street parking alongside a detached double garage, completing this highly adaptable and lifestyle-focused home.
