About

The Home Behind its welcoming oak-framed porch, this home immediately impresses with warmth and light.
The entrance hall opens to a comfortable sitting room with a feature exposed brick open fireplace, and large windows that flood the space with natural light.
At the heart of the home lies the spectacular kitchen, dining, and family room, a space that truly defines modern living.
The kitchen is fitted with sleek contemporary cabinetry, granite worktops, and integrated appliances, complemented by a striking central island and breakfast bar.
Distinctive design touches - such as the exposed brick feature wall, warm accent tones, and pendant lighting - create a stylish yet inviting feel.
Expansive glazing and bi-fold doors open directly to the rear garden, bringing the outdoors in and creating a wonderful flow for entertaining.
A separate utility room provides extra storage and practicality, while the study offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom or home office - ideal for remote working.
Two generous ground-floor bedrooms are served by a modern shower room, making the layout perfect for families or multigenerational living.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys glorious open views from its Juliet balcony, with space for a king-sized bed and a walk-in wardrobe.
The second upstairs bedroom is equally spacious and has eaves access.
A contemporary family bathroom completes the first floor, featuring a sleek white suite, mosaic tiling, and a large bathtub beneath a skylight for a touch of luxury.
Outside The rear garden is a true highlight - a beautifully maintained, private space.
It features a large lawn, raised vegetable beds, a pond, and mature trees and shrubs that frame the views perfectly.
A generous timber outbuilding, ideal as a garden office or studio, is serviced with power and lighting, which sits alongside a shed and wood store, providing ample storage and flexibility for hobbies.
At the front, a wide gravelled horseshoe driveway provides excellent parking and leads to an integral garage with power and lighting, framed by neat planting and a welcoming entrance.
