What this property offers
About this property
The ground floor offers separate reception rooms, giving families the flexibility to enjoy both shared and quieter spaces. The main lounge is generous in size and filled with natural light. A dedicated area currently houses a piano, showing the flexibility of the room while still leaving plenty of space for comfortable seating and relaxing. Double doors open through to the large dining room, creating a sociable layout that works perfectly for family gatherings and entertaining. French doors from the lounge lead directly into the conservatory style orangery, offering lovely views of the landscaped garden and allowing the outside to feel connected to the home throughout the year.
One of the standout features of this property is the second orangery extension which creates a stunning entertaining space with a true indoor outdoor feel. Skylights flood the room with light while bi fold doors open fully onto the garden, making it ideal for summer gatherings, family celebrations or simply relaxing with friends. The built in cocktail bar area gives the room a luxury lifestyle feel, perfect for entertaining in all seasons. The layout flows naturally from one room to another, giving the property an open and welcoming atmosphere without losing the comfort of separate living areas.
The kitchen has been designed with family life in mind and offers a stylish breakfast room layout with plenty of workspace and storage. Bi fold doors open directly onto the garden, helping the room feel bright and airy. Whether enjoying family breakfasts, hosting guests or watching children play outside, the kitchen is perfectly placed at the heart of the home. There is also direct access through to the utility area and double garage, adding further practicality and useful storage for everyday living.
Upstairs, the galleried dog leg staircase creates an impressive open landing area that continues the bright and spacious feel found throughout the home. The property offers five well proportioned double bedrooms, ideal for larger families with room to grow. The main bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room, creating a private retreat for parents at the end of the day. The remaining bedrooms are all generous doubles with flexibility for everyday use. One of the bedrooms is currently arranged as a large home office, highlighting the versatility of the layout and making the property equally appealing for buyers working from home or needing study space for older children.
The family bathroom is fitted with a stylish four piece suite including a supersized bath, creating a relaxing and practical space for busy family life. The overall layout upstairs has been carefully planned to balance comfort and flexibility, allowing the home to adapt easily to different stages of family living.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden really complements the entertaining spaces inside. The extension creates a greater sense of privacy while the varied seating and entertaining areas make the garden feel like an extension of the living accommodation itself. Large windows, French doors and bi fold doors throughout the property help connect the inside and outside spaces beautifully. Whether hosting summer barbecues, enjoying family time outdoors or relaxing in the evening, the garden offers something for everyone.
To the front, the large corner plot gives the property an impressive position with excellent kerb appeal. There is parking for several vehicles alongside a double garage, making the home particularly practical for larger families and visiting guests.
