The impressive double height hallway showcases glorious, exposed roof trusses, oak flooring and a significant picture window at the far end which illuminates the space perfectly, in addition to allowing garden views to entice you further.

Oozing designer touches, the living room with a vaulted ceiling, is a wonderfully welcoming room and the 5 metre vaulted window is awe-inspiring. Further natural light enters via a pair of French doors which open out into the garden, facilitating free flow of movement between indoor and outdoor living. The electric AGA wood burner forms an exquisite focal point and invites you to relax in front of it during those cooler months.

At the other end of the house, the stunning kitchen/dining/family room, with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, is a gloriously sociable room capturing a slightly more industrial feel. The doors to either side enable effortless movement making it an easy space in which to entertain and experience alfresco dining. The kitchen is equipped with a good number of wall and base units with a dark navy door complemented by a white granite work surface and matching upstand.

Bedroom 3 is further double room with built-in wardrobes and neutral decoration allowing the easy addition of accent colour should you so wish.

The room that is currently utilised as a professional design studio could just as easily become bedroom 4. Its abundance of windows allows a huge amount of natural light to circulate and it would also be ideal as an art studio or a bed sitting room for a teenager Four Velux windows add further superb illumination and ceiling spotlights add to the brightness. A door leads into the double garage currently used as a gym and houses the hot water cylinder and the boiler for ease of access, and offers loft access above.

A further multi-use room, used as an office, would make bedroom 5 if you so wished. With a semi-vaulted ceiling with spotlights this large single room takes advantage of views to the front. Adjacent to this room is a spacious cloaks storage cupboard.

The family bathroom, tiled with the matching high-gloss grey tiles to those featured in the primary bedroom ensuite, comprises a ladder chrome heated towel rail, a wall-hung two-drawer high-gloss vanity unit with a sink, a double-ended deep white bath, a close-coupled toilet with a push button, and a corner shower cubicle with a waterfall shower head and separate shower head within, encompassed with white wet-walling.
