The sleek cabinetry has timeless appeal and is paired with granite worktops, these units provide a vast amount of storage and have been fitted with a fridge and freezer, a dishwasher, dual ovens and an induction hob. A separate large utility room, provides not only space for a washer/drier but also further useful storage in the fitted cabinets.

To the front of the property is a the lounge, this fantastic room is generously proportioned making it ideal for both family time and entertaining. Dual aspect windows frame impressive views of the garden. A contemporary palette has been used in here which works well in a room of this size, yet it also feels homely with a modern gas fire which adds warmth and atmosphere to wintery evenings.

Returning to the entrance hall, carpeted stairs take you to the spacious first-floor landing, from which three double bedrooms all with ensuites reside. The elegant proportions continue the further up the house you go, to include a second floor with two further double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The master bedroom suite is a beautiful space where you can tuck yourself away from the hubbub of family life in complete tranquillity. In a room of this size, there are defined areas for relaxation, sleeping and dressing – without compromising on floor space at all.

It is both glamorous and timeless and has contemporary fittings to include a streamlined, handle-free dual vanity units, a contemporary free-standing bath and separate rainfall shower.

The exterior of this delightful property is a treat for the senses, and a dream for children, the garden has a lawn for ball games and equipment, plus a paved terrace for dining alfresco. Mature trees line the perimeter providing some areas of dappled shade while giving the garden privacy from neighbours. Due to its southerly aspect, it receives the sun right through the day and into the evening for summer suppers and dining alfresco. With secure gated access, you can bring muddy boots, bikes, paws or gardening equipment around to the rear rather than traipsing them through the house – and children are also able to play in the garden in complete safety.
