Adjacent to the reception room is the home office/study which then leads into the generous guest cloakroom which also serves as a utility room.

To the rear of the house, you step into the very large kitchen/dining room which has been cleverly designed to maximise ceiling height and therefore useable space. The kitchen itself provides a large array of wall and base units and a large peninsula countertop with a granite worksurface. At the end of the countertop is a breakfast bar with comfortable seating for four. There are various integrated appliances such as a Samsung American-style fridge freezer, Zanoussi dishwasher and a Bosch five ring gas burning hob with extractor above. This substantial family space, measuring over 20ft in length, allows plenty of space for both a large dining table but also an additional seating area. Through French doors step out to the south-west facing garden which measures nearly 30ft and attracts exceptional sunlight throughout much of the day, in particular the afternoons and evenings. Laid with stone patio tiling, this garden is bordered by raised beds with mature flowers, plants and shrubs. This really is the ideal outdoor space for both daily life and entertaining.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is located to the front and again you truly feel the additional width this house has to offer. As well as the generous bay window this large bedroom also offers wall to wall ceiling height built-in wardrobes for incredible storage capacity. Next door is the second double bedroom with wooden flooring and views to the rear. The third bedroom lies at the rear of the first floor and allows for pretty views over the garden below. The good-sized family bathroom completes this floor with its bathtub with overhead shower, double sinks set within a vanity unit and extra storage. On the second floor you find the second largest double bedroom with a double aspect owing to the sash window to the rear and Velux to the front. This bright and calm space features a built-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. This floor also gives access to the eaves which is essential for additional storage requirements.
