Offered to the market for the first time since its construction in 1995, this substantial detached property has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to create a smart, adaptable family home. The quality of the finish is consistently high throughout, with a layout designed for modern living—balancing generous open-plan spaces with more private, quiet corners.

A covered entrance opens into a generous hallway that immediately conveys the scale of the house. To one side is a cosy front-facing snug or TV room, while opposite the staircase is a ground floor WC and a spacious home office with room for two or three desks—ideal for remote working or running a business from home.

Moving through the hallway, the house opens into a striking kitchen and dining space—recently extended and finished to a high specification. The kitchen features four integrated neff ovens (conventional, grill, fish oven, and microwave), a discreet pop-up hob, and a hot tap. Stylish wraparound worktops and sleek soft-close cabinetry with clever storage solutions complete the space. Underfloor heating runs throughout, and two sets of bifold doors open onto the rear terrace and garden, making this the true heart of the home—perfect for daily life and entertaining.

Beyond the kitchen lies the main reception room—a spacious, light-filled living area with garden views and a traditional brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Adjacent is a more formal dining room at the front of the property, ideal for dinner parties or family gatherings.

The original garage has been converted into a fully insulated gym and flexible workspace, with its own separate entrance and natural light—suitable for a studio, workshop, or additional office.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged off a large central landing. The principal bedroom features a luxurious ensuite with a walk-in shower and bath. The guest bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite, making it ideal for visitors or older children. Two further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, and a fourth bathroom provides additional convenience. All bedrooms are well-proportioned, enjoy pleasant aspects, and feature consistent, modern finishes throughout.

Outside, the professionally landscaped rear garden includes a smart hard-standing terrace, a level lawn bordered by mature planting, and a raised composite deck—perfect for enjoying the sunshine. A gated side access links the front and rear for added practicality.

This rare offering combines substantial space, high-quality finish, and exceptional flexibility. With five true bedrooms, four bathrooms, three reception spaces, a gym, home office, and extensive parking, it’s perfectly suited to a variety of lifestyles. Having been lovingly improved and maintained by the current owners for nearly 30 years, it now offers a turnkey opportunity to move into a home of genuine quality and substance.
