The Property

Carefully modernised and enhanced by the current owners, this four-bedroom home balances effortless practicality with stylish, light-filled interiors. Step through the renewed porch into a welcoming entrance hall complete with extensive built-in storage to keep those family coats and muddy boots out of sight. Continuous engineered bamboo flooring leads into the heart of the home: a transformed open-plan kitchen and dining space. By opening up the ground floor, the owners have created an inviting hub designed for modern family life and seamless hosting. TThe kitchen pairs warm, solid bamboo surfaces with premium integrated appliances, including an AEG hob, Bosch oven, Neff warming drawer, Hotpoint dishwasher, and Electrolux fridge-freezer. A functional, adjoining utility room, cloakroom, and a glazed rear porch ensure daily life runs smoothly. Across the hall, the dual-aspect sitting room acts as a peaceful retreat, bathed in natural light and anchored by French doors that open out to the garden for effortless indoor-outdoor summer living.

Upstairs, four bright and versatile double bedrooms await. The principal bedroom serves as a quiet sanctuary with fitted wardrobes and its own private en-suite. Three additional bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, offering plenty of space for a growing family, guests, or a dedicated home office. Both the main bathroom and en-suite have been recently updated with new taps.

Step Outside

Designed for low-maintenance relaxation and entertaining, the partially walled rear garden offers excellent privacy. A combination of paved patio, gravel, and timber decking provides distinct zones for alfresco dining and morning coffees. A retractable canopy offers shade on warm summer days, while a timber-framed structure immediately off the sitting room offers flexible outdoor shelter (currently set up as a cattery, easily adapted into a garden pergola or removed). A side gateway leads directly to the garage and driveway parking for two vehicles, complete with a fitted EV charging point.
