The modern composite door takes you into the entrance porch with its bespoke cabinetry providing storage for shoes, a further glazed door then opens into the hallway which gives a wonderful vista through the ground floor and out to the garden. 

The owners eye for detail and design becomes apparent from the hallway, with their use of glass balustrades and clever under stair storage, giving an uncluttered and minimal feel to the space while their use of glass promotes natural light. 

To the left you will find the bay fronted sitting room.

The kitchen features matt grey units, contrasting white Corian worktops, under-counter LED lighting and a host of integrated Bosch appliances including two ovens, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer and an induction hob in the central island. 

The kitchen flows into the dining area and adjacent living space, which in turn take you onto the large bi-fold doors allowing the room to flow onto the patio and the garden beyond, expanding the entertaining space further during the warmer summer months.

The kitchen also gives way to a guest cloakroom and a separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble drier and an inset sink. The utility room allows access to the storage garage at the front and access to the rear garden.

Bifold doors connect the deck with the bar, which has been custom built with space for a large television, double fridges and an oak bar top which gives an authentic pub like feel. The bar opens into a larger entertaining area which currently houses a further wall mounted television, seating area and a dart board.

The first floor accommodation has been extended and re-configured to provide two bedrooms, family bathroom and a spacious and well lit landing.

The suite then extends into what would have been the second bedroom, with a pocket door leading to a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room which takes you onto the en-suite shower room with its marble tiled walls and floor, floating vanity and a large shower enclosure with a overhead rainforest shower. 

The second bedroom sits in an extended portion of the house overlooking the garden to the rear. It's an ample sized double room with fitted wardrobes and desk, making it an ideal bedroom for a growing child.
