Doors connect to the dining room, the hall and the utility, creating an effortless flow for everyday living.

The dining room
Perfect for sit-down meals or social gatherings, the dining room lies off the kitchen. It benefits from a wide window framing a leafy outlook and incorporates a sideboard beneath the window. There is easy scope to combine this space with the adjacent kitchen if desired.

The living room
Designed for relaxation and entertaining, the living room spans the depth of the home with dual aspect glazing. A sliding door opens onto the garden and a broad window faces the front, while a fireplace is set within bespoke cabinetry along one wall. Its considerable dimensions lead off the entrance hall and create a comfortable hub for family life.

The study
Located at the front of the ground floor, the study offers a peaceful spot for working or as an occasional bedroom. A wide window overlooks the front garden and a long wall-mounted shelf provides space for books or display. Positioned beside the hall and near to the shower room, it lends itself to use as a guest room or snug.

The utility
The utility is a bright rear porch, ideal for laundry and gardening tasks. Glazed doors and windows look onto the garden and a translucent roof allows in additional light. The space provides access to a useful store and the double garage as well as a door to the patio.

The shower room
Serving the ground floor, the shower room has been refitted with a contemporary suite. A generous walk-in shower includes rainfall and handheld heads, a folding seat and grab rails, while a sleek vanity unit with basin sits opposite alongside a WC. Glossy tiling and an obscured window create a bright, easy-care space.

The hallway
Opening through a glazed front door, the entrance hall creates an impressive first impression with its double height ceiling. An open-tread staircase rises to a galleried landing and a large picture window floods the space with light. From here doors lead to the principal reception rooms, the study and the ground-floor shower room, while a cupboard sits beneath the stairs.

The primary bedroom
Occupying a large portion of the first floor, the primary bedroom provides a calm retreat. Dormer and gable windows on two elevations create a light atmosphere and there is ample floor space for furniture. Built-in eaves cupboards offer useful storage, one of which has been used as an airing cupboard. Given the size of the room, there is scope to create an en suite, subject to the necessary consents, and the room sits close to the upstairs WC.

The second bedroom
The second bedroom is another impressive double room with a dormer window overlooking the front. Its excellent proportions allow for a variety of furnishing options and there is a door to useful eaves storage. Set off the landing, it offers comfortable accommodation for family or guests.

The third bedroom
Currently arranged as a study, the third bedroom enjoys a wide window to the rear. The ample dimensions can readily accommodate a bed and further furniture, making it ideal as a child’s room or home office. It sits alongside the other bedrooms on the first floor.

The first floor WC
Conveniently located on the landing, the first floor WC provides facilities for the upstairs bedrooms. The room features a pedestal basin and WC set beneath a frosted window, with part tiled walls and simple décor.

The garden
The gardens are a true highlight, extending far beyond the rear of neighbouring homes. Sweeping lawns are bordered by colourful planting, mature trees and tall hedging, ensuring excellent privacy and an ever-changing vista. There are seating terraces for al fresco dining, a brick-edged pond with water feature, productive beds and a timber shed, together with a long hedged extension that stretches towards the back boundary.

The driveway and parking
An expansive paved driveway provides an impressive approach to the home and offers parking for several vehicles. An attractive brick arch with wrought-iron gate leads to the rear garden, while twin doors open to the generous double garage.
