Tucked away within an small exclusive cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Livingston Village, this exceptional five-bedroom detached home offers an impressive combination of generous living space, stylish interiors and a wonderfully private south-facing garden backing onto mature woodland. Thoughtfully enhanced to suit the demands of modern family life, the property provides flexible accommodation in a peaceful setting, where children can play safely and neighbours are few.

A substantial double driveway and neatly maintained lawn create an attractive first impression, while the welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone for the quality found throughout. Beautiful light oak flooring flows seamlessly from the hallway into the impressive kitchen, dining and family space, creating a wonderful sense of continuity. An understair cupboard provides practical everyday storage, while glazed panelled doors open into the principal reception room.

The lounge is a refined and inviting retreat, beautifully styled in rich contemporary brown tones that create warmth and sophistication.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the magnificent kitchen and dining room, stretching to approximately 20 feet in length. Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, this superb open space features an extensive range of sleek grey high-gloss wall and base units complemented by coordinating work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, gas hob, oven and extractor hood, while ample preparation space ensures the kitchen is as practical as it is attractive. There is generous room for a family dining table, and French doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, effortlessly extending the living space outdoors during the warmer months. Adjoining the kitchen, the utility room continues the same contemporary design with matching cabinetry, space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, an integrated wine fridge and direct access to the garden, making it an ideal practical workspace tucked neatly away from the main living area.

Completing the ground floor is a stylish cloakroom finished with partial wall tiling, a modern two-piece suite and fitted mirror.

The former garage has been professionally converted to create an additional reception room currently utilised as a playroom, although it offers exceptional flexibility as a home office, gym, snug or hobby room. Finished with fitted carpeting, a contemporary grey wall-mounted radiator and front-facing window, the room also incorporates a cupboard housing the combi boiler.

The first floor continues to impress with five versatile bedrooms, providing excellent accommodation for growing families or those requiring dedicated home working space.

The principal bedroom is beautifully presented with elegant wall panelling in warm contemporary tones, luxurious cream carpeting and a full wall of fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage. The en-suite shower room is finished to a high standard with stylish grey marble-effect tiling, a generous double shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC. Bedroom two is another generous double overlooking the rear garden and woodland beyond. Finished with attractive feature wall panelling and fitted wardrobes, it also benefits from its own private en-suite shower room complete with grey tiling, double shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Bedroom three also enjoys peaceful rear-facing views and is currently arranged as a nursery. However, its proportions comfortably accommodate a double bed, while fitted wardrobes maximise storage. Bedroom four is a spacious single bedroom overlooking the rear garden, again complete with fitted wardrobes. The fifth bedroom has been thoughtfully adapted as a dressing room and home office, offering valuable flexibility depending on a purchaser's individual requirements.

Serving the remaining bedrooms is the contemporary family bathroom, fully tiled and fitted with a modern three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden provides an idyllic setting for both relaxation and entertaining. Designed for ease of maintenance, it features artificial lawn alongside a generous patio ideal for outdoor dining and summer gatherings.
