Built using a 'block & beam' method, the house is well constructed and benefits from solid flooring both on both floors reducing sound levels down between rooms, perfect for family living.

You enter the property via a light and airy Reception Lobby, with glazed doors leading into the central hallway and the ground floor accommodation. Engineered Oak flooring runs through the reception areas and hallway, and further into the Kitchen-Breakfast Room. An Oak finished staircase leads to the First Floor Landing, which has been made into a feature with a high ceiling over and gallery landing above.

The Lounge enjoys a southerly aspect overlooking the front gardens, this generous sized room features two sliding doors leading onto a porcelain tiled sun terrace and front lawn, and the room has recently had a modern gas flame effect 'log burner' installed to the fireplace. The Dining Room occupies a corner of the house so features window to the side and sliding doors to the terracing, this room has plenty of space for a large dining suite making formal entertaining easy and comfortable. The third reception room is currently used as a study but equally would make a fabulous games room or hobbies room.

The Kitchen-Breakfast Room hosts a vast range of high quality fitted units and plenty of worktop space for food preparation and serving. Within the kitchen, you will find a built-in double oven, dishwasher and a gas hob with extractor fan over. French doors open directly onto a composite decked terrace and overlooks the private south-westerly gardens. This kitchen really provides a spacious hub to the home, and benefits further from leading into a separate Utility Room where you can house your white goods along with further storage. Rather usefully, a Rear Lobby has been created off the utility, the perfect place to enter the house if you have pets that need a rub down from a long walk, or for anyone arriving with muddy boots!

The first floor has been designed to keep the five bedrooms well-proportioned and balanced, all leading off a wide landing where there is plenty of space for bookcases and even soft furnishings. There are four double bedrooms and a really good-sized single bedroom, two of the larger rooms both have beautifully finished ensuite shower rooms and it's a hard choice to decide which is the bigger as they are very similar in size. The three bedrooms that sit on the south aspect all feature glazed sliding doors to Juliette Balconies and enjoy views of the surrounding area and the gardens of the house. There is a Family Bathroom which has been fitted with a 'claw foot' bath and separate shower cubicle.

One of the unique and attractive features to this home are the gardens. The property sits comfortably central to the plot which has allowed the gardens to mature gently around the property, and it feels whilst wondering the grounds that each side has a new a different aspect and area in which to explore. This is further enhanced by the remains of an old building sitting within the grounds that has been creatively adapted into a walk-through garden, hosting a plethora of plants with a wooden potting shed within, its a real secret garden. The formal lawns to the front and side provide large areas in which children can play, and being enclosed by walls or fencing, the boundaries provide security for pets along with privacy. The owners have also erected a timber summerhouse, the perfect spot to sit in the shade in the summer months overlooking your garden. Behind the garage and at the rear of the house, raised borders have been created so you can also have a vegetable garden. This exceptional home benefits from a privately owned solar system, which feeds directly into the house and has battery storage. The detached garage can comfortably house two family cars, and features an electric door to the front and window to the rear aspect.
