Description

From the attractive frontage, with its lawned approach, established hedging and two private block-paved parking spaces, the property immediately creates a welcoming first impression. The entrance hallway provides two useful storage cupboards and features stylish wood-effect flooring, which continues throughout the ground floor. The real centrepiece of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The lounge area features a dramatic vaulted ceiling, creating an exceptional sense of volume, while floor-to-ceiling dual-aspect windows and double French doors flood the room with natural light and provide a seamless connection to the garden and patio beyond. The contemporary kitchen is thoughtfully positioned within the open-plan space and features sleek soft-close cabinetry, quality work surfaces, a Neff gas hob and oven, together with a range of integrated appliances. A separate matching utility room provides additional work surface, a composite sink and dedicated plumbing for laundry appliances, ensuring the main living space remains practical and uncluttered.

The ground floor also provides two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rear garden. These are served by a stylish modern family bathroom, fitted with a panel-enclosed bath with overhead shower, shaving point and contemporary spotlights. The entire first floor is dedicated to the impressive principal bedroom suite. Approached via split-level stairs, with a lovely garden-facing window, the spacious bedroom is exceptionally bright, with a floor-to-ceiling side window and twin Velux windows. A generous dressing area with mirrored wardrobe provides excellent storage, while a modern en-suite shower room completes the suite. A further versatile storage room on this floor offers potential for a variety of uses, including hobbies, home working or additional storage.

Outside, the beautifully maintained west-facing rear garden provides a private and sheltered setting and makes the most of the afternoon and evening sunshine.
