The front door opens into a welcoming central hall, with the staircase rising to the first floor and a useful storage cupboard beneath. To one side is a study, ideal for those working from home, together with a large ground-floor shower room. The study and shower room could be be used as occasional guest or additional bedroom accommodation if required.

Beyond the hall is the fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. A wonderfully generous and sociable space, well suited to everyday family life and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of matching wall and floor units, with integrated appliances including a double electric oven, gas hob, microwave and dishwasher. Double glazed patio doors open directly onto the west facing rear garden.

Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing additional storage and practical space. There is also a separate sitting room with good proportions, again with patio doors opening onto the garden and providing an easy connection between the house and outside space.

Upstairs, a particularly spacious landing gives access to four double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is an impressive generous proportioned room, positioned above the double garage. It includes a large walk-in dressing area and a well-appointed en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom is another excellent double room and has the unusual advantage of its own dressing or study area, together with a further en-suite shower room.

There are two additional double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom completing the first-floor accommodation.

The enclosed rear garden is principally laid to lawn and includes a generous paved terrace immediately adjoining the house. There is ample room for outdoor furniture, making the garden particularly well suited to summer dining and entertaining.
