South-facing bi-fold doors open onto the gardens and welcome plenty of sunlight, while the kitchen itself has modern fitted units, tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances.
Adjoining the kitchen there is a useful private study for home working, plus a well-proportioned sitting room.
Another light and airy space in which to relax or entertain, the sitting room has a vaulted ceiling and a Scandinavian-style woodburning stove, and features three skylights overhead, as well as bi-folds connecting to the outside space.
The property offers four well-presented double bedrooms including a generous principal bedroom with its dual aspect and skylights overhead.
One further bedroom has a woodburning stove, making it ideal for use as an extra reception room if required.
In addition, the property has a family bathroom with an over-bath shower, a separate family shower room and a cloakroom and utility with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
At the front of the property, the paved driveway provides access and plenty of parking space, as well as leading to the lower ground floor garage, for further parking or storage and workshop space.
Steps and a curved pathway lead up from the lower driveway to the front gardens, where there is an area of lawn with borders of lavender, timber fencing and established hedgerow, while at the side and rear there are wrap-around gardens, which welcome plenty of sunlight throughout the day.
They include a south-facing patio for al fresco dining and two areas of lawn, enclosed by established hedgerows and mature trees.
