A grand front entrance with feature pillars provides access into the home where a welcoming entrance hallway greets you and immediately demonstrates how beautifully the property is presented with quality tiled flooring. Adjacent to the front door is a useful study, excellent for those who work from home, and the hallway wraps around to a ground floor cloakroom/WC and the stairs rising to the first floor accommodation. At the front of the property there is the first of three reception rooms, currently laid out as the formal dining room, which boasts a feature fireplace, high ceilings and a large bay window to the front. Just off of the dining room is a multi-purpose room which currently is used as a craft room, however in previous years it has been an occasional bedroom or fourth reception room. Back across the hallway is the second of the reception rooms, being a delightful breakfast room which is a wonderfully bright room and boasts a feature decorative traditional bread oven alongside useful fitted storage cupboards. Next is the gorgeous kitchen which lives up to its name as a the heart of the home, having been fitted to a very high standard with modern wall and base units, breakfast bar and integrated appliances including two eye-level ovens, five-ring gas hob, fridge and a dishwasher. An opening leads from the kitchen through to a sizeable utility room which provides space for washing machine, tumble dryer and a free-standing fridge/freezer. Double doors also lead from the utility room directly into the rear garden. Adjacent to the breakfast room is a rear lobby space which the current owners use as their main entrance. This lobby boasts a large storage cupboard and door to the side of the property. Double doors lead into a room with a real wow-factor; the impressive living room. Previously a dance studio for a former owner, the living room is a large space with room for an abundance of sizeable furniture and is perfect for entertaining. With feature parquet flooring, a wood-burning stove and double doors leading directly into the rear garden, this room really does have it all. Taking the stairs to the first floor, a central landing space gives access to the accommodation on this level, including four double bedrooms, modern family bathroom and a separate modern shower room. One of these bedrooms has been converted into a large dressing area with an opening to the master bedroom, creating a truly excellent master suite. A second staircase then rises to the converted loft space which is currently set up as a second home office, however could have a multitude of uses and provides access to the attic space.
