THE PROPERTY

Having been extensively improved and thoughtfully reconfigured by the current owners, this impressive five-bedroom detached residence offers exceptionally well-proportioned family accommodation, combining contemporary design with timeless character features throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the property and provides access to the principal reception rooms. The substantial sitting room is a particularly attractive space, featuring a striking fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, complemented by oak flooring and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating an ideal environment for both relaxation and entertaining.

Undoubtedly a standout feature of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen/family room. This outstanding space has been designed with modern family living in mind and is fitted with an extensive range of high-quality contemporary cabinetry, a mix of integrated and freestanding appliances and elegant granite work surfaces. The room provides ample space for dining and social gatherings, whilst further doors offer seamless access to the landscaped rear garden.

The remainder of the ground floor is equally versatile, comprising a family room, utility room, and a further reception space/bedroom with en-suite shower room providing excellent flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyle requirements.

To the first floor, the generous principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing area and a well-appointed en-suite shower room. There are four additional bedrooms, including three doubles to this level, all of which are served by the family bathroom.

NB. The property offers excellent space for a growing family and previously benefitted from granted planning permission for a large annexe extension to the rear. This permission has now lapsed but could be reapplied for.

OUTSIDE

The property occupies a substantial and established plot extending to just over a quarter of an acre, providing an excellent balance of generous outdoor space and privacy. The property is approached via an impressive gravelled frontage, offering extensive off-road parking and turning space for multiple vehicles. The frontage has been enhanced with attractive new panel fencing, creating a smart and well-defined boundary that complements the property's overall presentation.

Gated side access leads through to the beautifully maintained rear garden, which provides a wonderful setting for family life and outdoor entertaining. Immediately behind the house is an extensive, flowing, two tier terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and social gatherings, overlooking the extensive lawn beyond. The garden is interspersed with mature planting, flower and shrub borders, creating a delightful sense of colour and seclusion throughout the seasons.

Further enhancing the outdoor space are a versatile workshop/hobbies room, summerhouse and garden shed, offering a range of practical and recreational uses.
