The kitchen
An impressive hub of the home, the kitchen has been remodelled with painted cabinets, a peninsula and a butler sink set below a broad picture window framing garden views.

A range cooker sits within the cabinetry and there is plentiful storage and work surface space. The open plan design flows into the dining area and out to the terrace, from here there is access through to the utility room.

The utility
Situated off the kitchen, the utility room provides extra preparation and laundry space with matching cabinets and a Belfast-style sink. A window and a half-glazed door look out to the side of the house, and there is open shelving for storage. This practical room also links the kitchen to the tandem garage and offers direct access outdoors.

The dining room
At the heart of the rear extension lies the dedicated dining area, designed for memorable gatherings. A striking roof lantern draws the eye upward and bi-fold doors open on to the terrace, creating an easy flow to the garden. There is plenty of space for a large table and occasional furniture, and double doors connect the room to the living room.

The living room
Perfect for relaxing after a busy day, the living room combines character and comfort. A handsome fireplace with wooden surround and inset hearth creates a focal point, while a wide front window frames a leafy outlook. Along one wall is an extensive set of shelves and cabinets for displaying books and collections. This inviting room links both to the hall and, via glazed doors, to the dining room.

The hallway and cloakroom
Stepping through the front door, you arrive in a welcoming hall with wood flooring and a striking staircase with painted balustrade and polished handrail. Doors lead to the living room, cloakroom and the open-plan kitchen. The cloakroom is finished with half-height tiling and mosaic detailing, and includes a modern basin and WC.

The landing
The first-floor landing has a galleried feel with its open balustrade and striped carpet running the length of the space. A window to the side casts soft light across the stairwell. From here, doors lead off to all four bedrooms and the family shower room.

The primary bedroom
Occupying a generous footprint, the principal bedroom offers a restful retreat. Dual-aspect windows provide leafy outlooks, and there is plenty of room for freestanding wardrobes, bedside tables and a seating area. A door leads to the private en suite shower room.

The primary en suite
Serving the principal bedroom, the en suite has been smartly refurbished with full-height tiling. It features a glazed shower enclosure with rainfall head, a modern vanity with storage below and a WC. A frosted window provides ventilation.

The second bedroom
Situated at the rear, this comfortable double bedroom looks over the garden. It easily accommodates a double bed along with additional furniture.

The third bedroom
This versatile bedroom overlooks the rear of the home and is currently arranged as a dressing room. It would also work well as a guest or family bedroom, with space to accommodate a double bed and furnishings with ease.

The fourth bedroom
A compact room at the front of the home, which is currently used as a home office. It has space for a single bed and bedroom furniture and could serve as a child’s room or nursery.

The shower room
Serving the remaining bedrooms, the family shower room has been appointed in a contemporary style. A broad walk-in shower with frameless screen and rainfall fittings sits opposite a floating vanity with integrated basin and a back-to-wall WC. Large-format tiles and an illuminated mirror complete the look.

The garden
An outstanding feature of this home is its wonderful garden, extending far beyond the terrace. A broad paved seating area provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the sweeping lawn stretches away between colourful borders and mature specimen trees. An informal orchard and herbaceous beds burst with seasonal colour and scent. At the far end, a sheltered bench offers a peaceful spot to pause.

In addition to the main lawn, there are further deep borders and hidden corners stocked with shrubs and perennials, giving a sense of privacy. The garden is fully enclosed and there is plenty of room for play or vegetable beds should you wish. A pathway leads back towards the house and the side gate to the driveway.

The driveway and parking
At the front of the property, a mature hedge screens a generous block-paved driveway that provides parking for multiple vehicles. The drive leads to a tandem garage with double doors, ideal for storing cars, bikes or garden equipment. A side gate gives access to the rear garden.

This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.
