The Property

The accommodation is arranged around a spacious reception hall and includes a guest cloakroom/W.C., living room, second reception room, kitchen/dining/family room and separate utility room. There are four double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom.

Having been built to the current owners’ specification, there was a considered approach to both materials and layout. Oak doors are used throughout, while Amtico flooring and underfloor heating extend across the ground floor. Bespoke fitted shutter blinds have also been installed to the majority of the windows.

The spacious living room has a wood burning stove, creating a natural focal point, while the light and airy principal bedroom has an impressive vaulted ceiling with exposed ceiling beams
 
At the heart of the house is the superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family room which is designed around the way the space is used rather than simply as one large room. There are distinct areas for cooking, dining and relaxing, with wide bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary charcoal grey cabinets with complementary quartz worktops and integrated 'Bosch' appliances, with a nod to an industrial feel, with the lighting and exposed brickwork.
 
The rear garden is fully enclosed and private, making it a practical space for family life. Immediately behind the house is a full-width paved terrace, which continues beneath a covered canopy, providing a sheltered spot. Beyond the terrace, the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, creating a simple and versatile area for children's play or a blank canvass for the keen gardener.
 
A generous gravel driveway sweeps around the front and side of the house, providing ample parking for several vehicles and giving easy access to the spacious double garage.
