THE PROPERTY

Upon entering, a light and welcoming lobby leads to all principal reception rooms. To one side lies a beautifully appointed study or playroom, complete with bespoke cabinetry and a log burner. The heart of the home unfolds beyond, beginning with an inviting sitting room featuring a charming log burner, seamlessly flowing into the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area.

The bespoke kitchen boasts exceptional storage beneath pristine Quartz work surfaces, complemented by premium integrated appliances. A striking central island measuring 3m x 1.5m serves as the focal point, with a generous dining area beyond, creating an ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining. Dual-aspect bi-fold doors open onto the garden, extending the living space outdoors. A discreet pocket door reveals a walk-in pantry, and a practical boot room ensures the home remains uncluttered. Completing the ground floor is a guest bedroom suite with an en-suite shower room.

Upstairs, three beautifully balanced double bedrooms await. The principal suite is a contemporary sanctuary, featuring an extensive dressing area and a luxurious en-suite bathroom bathed in natural light. Two further double bedrooms share a stylish family bathroom; all of which are finished to the highest standard.

The meticulous attention to detail continues outdoors, where a fully equipped kitchen creates the ultimate setting for al-fresco dining and entertaining. Enhanced with elegant contemporary lighting, this area is perfectly designed for both day-to-day living and special occasions. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and an expansive lawn, the grounds offer a tranquil retreat with ample space for recreation and relaxation. The property is set back within a private plot, entered through double gates and approached via a sweeping driveway. To the front, there is generous parking and potential to construct a car barn or garage complex (subject to the relevant permissions).
