About
The spacious entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the property, with stairs rising to the first floor, useful understairs storage and a convenient cloakroom.
As with the rest of the home, the generous sitting room is beautifully presented and enjoys pleasant views over the attractive central green, creating a wonderful sense of space and openness.
Spanning the full width of the property, the impressive kitchen/dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home and has been designed with both family living and entertaining in mind.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of high-gloss wall and base units, complemented by quartz work surfaces and a tiled splashback.
Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and eye-level double oven, while a breakfast bar provides additional seating alongside ample space for a family-sized dining table.
Double doors connect seamlessly with the sitting room, and French doors open directly onto the south-facing rear garden.
Completing the ground floor is a much-requested utility room, offering further storage, space for appliances and direct access to the driveway, garage and garden.
First Floor The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom overlooks the central green and benefits from built-in wardrobes, ac and a well-appointed en suite shower room.
Bedroom two has been thoughtfully designed with bespoke fitted children's furniture, incorporating a raised bed, integrated storage and ac included.
Bedrooms three and four also include ac units, are both comfortable doubles and each includes built-in wardrobes.
The family bathroom is finished to an excellent standard, featuring a modern three-piece suite, fully tiled walls and a chrome heated towel rail.
The landing also provides a useful airing cupboard and access to the loft.
Outside Occupying an enviable corner plot, the property enjoys a delightful position alongside an established hedgerow and overlooking a well maintained green.
The front garden has been attractively landscaped, while a block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the larger-than-average garage, complete with power and useful overhead storage.
A gated side access leads to the wonderful south-facing rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked perennial borders and a generous patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A garden shed is included, and a standout feature is the fully insulated timber cabin, currently utilised as a beauty studio.
With power and water connected, this versatile space would also make an excellent home office, gym, workshop or creative studio.
