About
The Accommodation Designed with both modern family life and entertaining in mind, the rear of the property unfolds into a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family space; undoubtedly one of the home's standout features.
Bathed in natural light from its triple-aspect orientation, dual bay windows and glazed doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond, this impressive room provides a wonderful connection between the interior and exterior living spaces.
The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of bespoke shaker-style cabinetry complemented by generous quartz work surfaces and a substantial central island incorporating additional storage, preparation space and informal breakfast seating.
A comprehensive range of integrated appliances is seamlessly incorporated, whilst a striking range-style cooker with feature surround forms an attractive focal point.
Thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with style, the kitchen offers an abundance of workspace and storage, making it equally suited to everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining.
The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a substantial dining table, while the family seating area enjoys delightful garden views and direct access to the terrace, creating a versatile and sociable environment that naturally becomes the hub of the home.
Conveniently positioned adjacent to the kitchen is a substantial utility room, finished in a classic style with shaker cabinetry, metro tiling and a bright bay window.
Fully plumbed and offering extensive additional storage, the utility room provides an excellent practical complement to the main kitchen, whilst a nearby guest cloakroom adds further convenience.
Returning to the main hallway, directly opposite the principal reception room lies a cosy and highly versatile snug, centred around a handsome traditional fireplace with inset log-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting retreat.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a generously proportioned family room featuring built-in shelving and a characterful cast-iron fireplace.
This room flows seamlessly into a spacious ground-floor double bedroom served by its own dedicated en-suite bathroom, creating a highly flexible arrangement perfectly suited to guests, dependent relatives or multi-generational living.
Outside The property is approached via a generous gravel driveway providing extensive off-street parking for multiple vehicles, flanked by mature hedging and neatly maintained lawns that frame the attractive facade.
This leads down to a substantial detached double garage (18'6" x 19') with a side access door, offering excellent vehicle storage or workshop potential.
Security and privacy are assured by high timber fencing and established perimeter foliage that neatly screens the frontage from view.
Moving around to the rear, the house opens out onto a truly exceptional, beautifully landscaped garden that offers a peaceful, sunny sanctuary.
A wide paving-slab terrace spans the back of the property, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, seamlessly accessed via the kitchen's double doors.
Beyond the terrace, a sprawling lawn extends outwards, interspersed with a wonderful variety of specimen trees, neatly edged flowerbeds, and a charming timber summerhouse.
The garden's mature boundaries ensure a high degree of privacy, creating an idyllic setting that perfectly complements this substantial family home.
