This beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended Detached Family Home offers approximately 1,290 sq ft of accommodation, combining a contemporary open-plan living space with two separate Reception Rooms and three well-proportioned Bedrooms. The property has been finished to a high standard throughout, with the impressive extension to the rear creating a wonderful space for modern family living and entertaining.

The 12'9 x 11'2 Living Room is a comfortable and inviting space, with plenty of room for sofas and other furniture, making it an ideal place to relax away from the main family living area. A second Reception Room, measuring 12'6 x 7'0, is currently arranged as a combined Family Room and Home Office, demonstrating the flexibility this additional space provides. It would work equally well as a Playroom, Snug or dedicated Study, depending on the needs of the next owner. Without doubt, the standout feature of this wonderful home is the extended 19'5 x 19'0 Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, which stretches across the rear of the property and has been beautifully designed to create a bright, spacious and sociable heart of the home. The stylish Kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary white gloss floor and wall-mounted units, complemented by elegant work surfaces. Taking centre stage is the impressive central Island, which provides additional storage and preparation space, incorporates a sink and features a generous Breakfast Bar with seating, making it perfect for informal meals or catching up with family and friends. The Kitchen flows seamlessly into the extended Dining and Family Area, where the vaulted ceiling, two large skylights and additional feature glazing create a wonderful sense of light and space. There is plenty of room for a substantial dining table, ideal for family meals and entertaining, alongside a comfortable seating area where you can relax while overlooking the Garden. A full-width arrangement of bi-folding doors opens directly onto the Rear Garden, allowing the inside and outside spaces to connect beautifully during the warmer months. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a family barbecue or simply relaxing at the end of the day, this is a fantastic space that has clearly been designed with modern family life in mind.

The Principal Bedroom, measuring 13'7 x 9'2, is a lovely Double Room, with a large window providing plenty of natural light and an extensive range of fitted wardrobes offering excellent storage without compromising the available floor space. This Bedroom also benefits from its own En Suite Shower Room, fitted with a shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC. The Second Bedroom is another particularly generous Double Room, measuring 13'7 x 12'4. Its excellent proportions provide plenty of flexibility for bedroom furniture, with space to accommodate a desk or additional seating if required, making it an ideal room for an older child or visiting guests. Completing the Bedrooms is the Third Bedroom, measuring 9'6 x 9'6, which is currently arranged as a child's room but could comfortably accommodate a Double Bed, while also offering potential for use as a Guest Bedroom or additional Home Office. The Bedrooms are served by the Family Bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower above and glass screen, wash hand basin with storage beneath and WC.

To the front, this attractive Detached Family Home is set back from the road behind a generous brick-paved Driveway, providing off-street parking for a number of vehicles. The frontage is bordered by established hedging and attractive planting, creating a pleasant approach to the property, while a pathway to the side provides access to the Rear Garden. The Rear Garden is another lovely feature of this home, offering an attractive and enclosed outside space that is ideal for both families and those who enjoy entertaining. Immediately adjoining the impressive Kitchen is a paved Patio, providing space for outdoor furniture that could be extended to create a natural extension of the living accommodation.

Beyond the Patio is a good-sized area of lawn, providing plenty of space for children to play, with raised flowerbeds and established planting adding colour and interest around the boundaries.
