Ground floor

The front door opens into a welcoming Entrance Hall, with stairs rising to the First Floor and doors leading to the Ground Floor accommodation. The layout has been thoughtfully adapted to create a particularly sociable family home, with the principal living spaces flowing into one another while still retaining the flexibility to be used separately. Without doubt, the standout feature is the beautifully refitted 31ft Kitchen/Dining Room, which stretches across the rear of the house and provides a fantastic space for both everyday family life and entertaining. The Kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of stylish units complemented by generous work surfaces and integrated appliances, while a large Breakfast Bar provides additional preparation space and informal seating. There is plenty of room for a substantial dining table, making this a natural gathering point for friends and family, while double doors open directly onto the Garden, perfect for spilling outside during the warmer months. An opening from the dining area leads into the double aspect Family Room, providing another versatile reception space that could work equally well as a children's playroom, snug or more informal sitting room. From the Kitchen double doors open to the generous 15'0 x 11'3 Living Room, allowing the rooms to be opened up when entertaining or closed off when a little more separation is preferred. The Living Room is positioned to the front of the house and benefits from an attractive bay window, creating a bright and comfortable main reception room. Completing the Ground Floor is a convenient WC and particularly useful 11'11 x 7'5 Utility Room. This provides excellent additional storage and space for appliances, along with direct access to both the Rear Garden and Garage, making it ideal for busy family life. The property benefits from two Garage areas, offering useful storage alongside the potential for buyers to adapt the space to suit their own requirements.

First floor

Stairs rise to the First Floor, where the impressive proportions continue with four generous Bedrooms. The impressive Principal Bedroom benefits from an attractive bay window, excellent built-in storage and its own luxurious En Suite Shower Room. Bedroom Two is another particularly generous double at 12'4 x 9'11, while Bedrooms Three and Four provide further well-proportioned accommodation, making them ideal for children, guests or anyone requiring a dedicated space to work from home. The Bedrooms are served by a modern Family Bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over, while the stylish En Suite to the Principal Bedroom has been finished with contrasting dark tones and brass detailing, creating a smart contemporary feel. Overall, the house offers an excellent balance of open-plan entertaining space and separate reception rooms, with the impressive Kitchen/Dining Room forming the heart of a flexible layout that is particularly well suited to modern family life.

Outside

The setting is a particular feature of the property, positioned at the end of one of the village's most exclusive and sought-after roads, enjoying an attractive outlook across an area of open green with a lake beyond. Enhancing its peaceful position, the house is also ideally placed for easy access to Southwater Country Park, making it a fantastic location for families, dog walkers and anyone who enjoys having open countryside close at hand. To the front, a large Driveway provides plenty of off-street parking and leads to the Double Garage. One side remains a full Garage, providing secure parking or excellent additional storage, while part of the second garage has been thoughtfully converted to enlarge the Utility Room, with the remaining section retained as useful storage. Mature hedging borders the frontage and provides a good degree of screening and privacy. The Rear Garden is another real feature of the home, offering a generous and private space that works particularly well for both families and entertaining. Immediately adjoining the house is a paved patio, conveniently accessed from the Kitchen/Dining Room and providing an ideal spot for a table and chairs or barbecue during the summer months.

Beyond this is a generous area of lawn, bordered by established planting and mature shrubs, providing plenty of room for children to play while still offering scope for a keen gardener to make the most of the space. A substantial decked seating area creates a second entertaining space away from the house, with ample room for outdoor furniture and making it a great place to relax and enjoy the Garden. Altogether, the combination of a generous Garden, excellent parking, useful Garage storage and the outlook across neighbouring green space complements the house perfectly, while its position at the end of this highly regarded road gives the property a particularly appealing setting.
