The House...
This exceptional detached family home has been the subject of sympathetic extension and total renovation in recent years to become the epitome of ‘character meets contemporary, beautifully presented with tasteful tones and quality finishes at every turn.

In total, the accommodation extends to just under 1,900 sq ft and the stunning 19ft x 18ft open plan kitchen/diner is, without doubt, the wow-factor space flooded with natural light via two skylights in the vaulted ceiling. This superb room is perfect for entertaining enjoying full-width bi-folding doors that allow ‘inside-outside’ living during the summer months. The large porcelain tiled flooring with underfloor heating compliments the sleek, stylish ‘Leicht’ German kitchen which offers a central island with breakfast bar. The luxurious Corian worktops add further quality and there is a range of integrated Neff appliances (fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, induction hob with extractor and twin ovens).

The spacious sitting room extends to over 23ft and is an inviting space with beautiful herringbone parquet flooring, focal point fireplace and attractive bay window complete with planation shutter & period style column radiator. This room interconnects with the kitchen via double glazed doors.

Just off the kitchen is the incredibly versatile family room (formerly the garage), which could easily be used as a separate office – great for those with children or those who work from home. There is also a newly created utility room that hides away the noisier appliances.

The ground floor also has an understairs cloakroom which lies off the long hallway with porcelain tiled ‘walnut effect’ flooring.

The first floor boasts three excellent double bedrooms, small double fourth and two modern bath/shower rooms. The master bedroom is a great size with plenty of space for a super-king bed. There is a fitted double wardrobe, pleasant outlook over the garden and luxurious en-suite shower room with cleverly placed skylight.

The remaining bedrooms are served by the beautiful, fully tiled family bathroom. This capacious room is the perfect spot to unwind with a standalone bathtub, walk-in double shower with ‘waterfall’ shower head’.

Further noteworthy attributes include the gas fired central heating and double-glazed windows & doors throughout and the large loft space (part boarded & ladder) offering conversion possibilities.

Step Outside...
The rear garden is a real feature extending to around 125ft in depth. The deep Indian sandstone patio is a great spot for ‘al-fresco ‘dining and a couple of steps lead up to a long expanse of lawn, raised beds housing a selection of plants and shrubs. The far end of the garden has been landscaped with children in mind. There is an area of artificial lawn and a raised decked terrace that enjoys the last of the evening sunshine.

To the front is a block paved driveway for three cars.
