The property has been thoughtfully upgraded and remodelled by the current owner to create a stylish, light-filled home with high-quality finishes throughout and comes to the market with no onward chain.
The welcoming entrance leads into a superb living room positioned to the front of the property, where a large picture window perfectly frames the far-reaching views across open countryside.
A feature gas stove provides a cosy focal point, making this an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining.
To the rear, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open plan kitchen/dining room.
Designed with both practicality and aesthetics in mind, this space boasts a vaulted ceiling, contemporary fittings, and ample room for dining and socialising.
The layout flows seamlessly into a generous conservatory, which enjoys delightful views over the rear garden and provides an additional versatile reception area.
