Ground Floor

Upon entering, you’re welcomed by a generous sense of space. The first of three reception rooms is to the right, currently used as a family room. This dual-aspect room has Karndean flooring and shutters. Adjacent to the family room is a study, also with Karndean flooring and a side aspect.

At the rear of the home, you'll find a superb open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area. The recently installed, hand-built kitchen features a range of floor and wall-mounted units with Quartz work surfaces, a Villeroy & Boch butler sink, an integrated Bosch dishwasher, and a Neff oven, along with space for a wine fridge and Aga. The worktops extend to create a convenient breakfast bar. A large utility room complements the kitchen, offering a stable door, ample base and eye-level units, timber worktops, a butler sink, tiled splashbacks, and a tiled floor, with space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The dining area, part of the kitchen, is a striking space with French windows and full-height glazed panels overlooking the garden. Flowing from the dining area, the inviting lounge features dual-aspect windows, French doors to the front, and a stunning fireplace with a granite hearth, complete with a wood burner.
