The impressive living room is double aspect and allows the light to flood the room, with French doors out to the garden at the rear. There is also an Artel pellet wood burner central in the room and a bespoke bookcase and TV unit with soft-close drawers to one side.

There is a Butler sink with a drainer on one side, a gas Rangemaster with a 5-ring hob and concealed extractor hood above, and a walk-in pantry that houses a large fridge/freezer space on one side.

An inner lobby off the kitchen flows through to a utility room with wall and base units with wood work surfaces, a single sink with a drainer on the side and space for a washing machine. Opposite is the former garage which has been transformed into a fully-equipped gymnasium, which benefits from underfloor heating as well as a separate WC and built-in storage, creating a highly versatile space for today’s modern living.

The carpeted turned stairs with a facing window, which lights up the first-floor landing, gives access to two double bedrooms, both of which are double aspect, and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom features an Artel pellet wood burner and French doors with views over the garden. The adjoining dressing room has an extensive range of bespoke full-height fitted wardrobes offering ample hanging and storage space, while the en suite shower room with underfloor heating has a low-level WC, a wash hand basin and an enclosed shower cubicle.
