About
Set at the end of a charming cul-de-sac in the sought-after Bernards Heath area, this modern four-bedroom link detached home offers the perfect balance of family living, stylish entertaining and convenience.
With highly regarded schools nearby, the City Centre within walking distance and fast connections into London from the mainline station, it’s a location that makes everyday life feel effortless.
Bernards Heath has a lovely community feel, centred around the open green spaces of the Heath itself, a friendly local corner shop and coffee shop, and St Saviour’s Church, which hosts a range of social events throughout the year including foodie evenings and its own beer festival.
It’s easy to see why so many people love living here. Inside, the home is bright, spacious and designed around modern family life.
The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, complete with a useful ground floor W.C.
There is also a dedicated home office, ideal for remote working or study, offering a quiet and practical space away from the main living areas.
At the heart of the home is the contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining space, ideal for everything from busy weekday breakfasts to relaxed evenings with friends and family.
Doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out, perfect for summer dining and entertaining.

Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms and an attractive family bathroom.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and a stylish en-suite shower room, creating a peaceful space to unwind at the end of the day.
The property also benefits from a useful loft space with a fitted ladder and partial boarding, providing excellent additional storage and helping to keep the home feeling uncluttered and practical.
Outside, the landscaped south west facing rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to offer both privacy and space to entertain, with a large patio area perfect for outdoor gatherings.
To the front, there is a garage, generous off-road parking, an EV charging point and the added benefit of solar panels on an excellent tariff, helping to reduce running costs while providing free energy.
