Description
Combining soft country tones with contemporary detailing, the house feels both refined and welcoming. The accommodation extends to nearly 2,000 sq ft, including a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, generous reception spaces, and a landscaped rear garden complete with a covered outdoor entertainment area. The property further benefits from oil-fired central heating, double-glazed windows, and a double garage with driveway parking.
Ground Floor
The entrance hall features patterned tile flooring and wainscoting, setting a warm first impression. From here, a glazed door opens into the sitting room, a light, elegant space centred around a characterful exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, flanked by a large window and finished in soft neutral tones.
A connecting dining room provides an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining, decorated with half-height panelling and pastel detailing. The room flows naturally into the kitchen/breakfast room, a showpiece of the home following its 2024 renovation.
The kitchen combines classic and contemporary design with Shaker-style cabinetry, oak worktops, a central island, and a striking black range cooker. Exposed ceiling beams, Velux skylights, and French doors to the garden create a bright and uplifting atmosphere.
A recently renovated shower room completes the ground floor, stylishly finished with neutral tiling, modern fittings, and a walk-in shower. Internal access to the double garage and utility area is also provided.
First Floor
The first-floor landing is beautifully decorated with soft wallpaper, wainscoting and a feature chandelier, leading to four well-presented bedrooms.
The principal bedroom enjoys a tranquil outlook and refined presentation, with panelled feature walls and bespoke wardrobes. Three further bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for family life, ideal for children, guests, or a home office.
The family bathroom is neatly appointed with a fitted vanity unit, bath with overhead shower, and coordinated tiling, bright, functional and well cared for.
The loft is boarded, offering convenient additional storage.
Outside
The property is approached via a private driveway leading to a double garage, providing ample parking and useful utility space. To the rear, the landscaped garden is thoughtfully designed for outdoor living, combining lawn, paved seating areas and well-kept borders.
A particular highlight is the covered entertainment area, offering sheltered space for dining and relaxation throughout the year. The garden enjoys a north-facing orientation but benefits from generous natural light due to its open aspect.
