The Accommodation

The ground floor accommodation opens via an exceptionally welcoming, light-filled entrance hall featuring elegant light oak flooring and an attractive wooden staircase rising to the first floor. From here, doors lead to a highly versatile, bay-fronted study fitted with tailored built-in cabinetry and shelving—ideal for a dedicated home office—along with a convenient ground-floor cloakroom and a formal dining room designed for entertaining guests. Positioned off the hallway is an impressive dual-aspect living room that spans the full depth of the property, centered around a charming brick hearth housing a wood-burning stove with an ornate wooden mantelpiece, while double-glazed French doors at the rear open directly onto the private garden terrace. At the heart of the home, the classic oak kitchen comes well-equipped with integrated double ovens, a gas hob with extractor overhead, and clean white subway tile backsplashes. An open archway flows seamlessly into a cozy breakfast room featuring space for custom bench seating, perfect for casual family dining, while a separate utility room provides dedicated laundry space, external side door access, and direct internal entry into the substantial integral double garage. Ascending to the first floor, the accommodation centers around a wonderfully spacious galleried landing framed by a traditional dark wood balustrade and illuminated by a large multi-pane window overlooking the front aspect. The principal bedroom suite acts as a sanctuary, boasting an extensive bank of built-in fitted wardrobes and access to a stylish en-suite bathroom complete with fully tiled sleek travertine-style porcelain with accent mosaic borders, comprising a large walk-in glass shower enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a wide white vanity unit with built-in storage, wash hand basin, W.C., and a heated towel rail. Three further double bedrooms, each featuring integrated wardrobe storage, large windows, and neutral carpeted décor offer ample space for family members or guests. Serving these rooms is a luxurious family bathroom, complete with a panelled bath with overhead shower and cubical magnetic glass shower screen, plus a modern white vanity unit with integrated double basins, all beautifully finished in warm marble-effect wall and floor tiling.

Outside

Approached via a generous tarmac driveway providing off-street parking and access to the double garage, the property features a striking brick and dark weatherboard façade flanked by low-maintenance lawns and mature hedging. Secure side access leads through to a wonderfully private rear garden, where a broad paved sandstone sun terrace adjoins the house, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the terrace lies a central lawn bordered by well-stocked flowerbeds, established shrubs, and mature trees, including a graceful silver birch along with a secondary sandstone paved seating area at the far end, a useful timber garden shed, and a charming gravel stepping-stone path tucked alongside the lush boundary planting.
