About

This is a property that immediately conveys presence: Generous in scale, meticulously modernised, and designed to support both refined family living and impressive entertaining.
Internally, the ground floor offers exceptional space, light and flexibility.
From the moment you step inside, the wide entrance hall creates a strong sense of arrival, with tiled flooring, clean lines and a bright, open feel that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
The heart of the property is the impressive extended kitchen / breakfast / living room - a true showpiece.
The contemporary kitchen is beautifully designed, featuring an extensive range of cabinetry, sleek work surfaces and a central island that anchors the space.
A vaulted ceiling with a Velux window floods the room with natural light, while two sets of bi-folding doors open fully onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
This outstanding space is perfectly suited to entertaining, relaxing and modern family living.
A practical utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering additional storage and direct access to the side of the house - ideal for muddy boots, pets, or unloading shopping.
From the kitchen, you can also step into the elegant through reception room, a beautifully proportioned formal family / living room that provides a more intimate setting for entertaining.
To the front, a substantial office provides an ideal environment for remote working or running a business from home.
This room flows seamlessly into an additional reception space, offering superb versatility.
