To the front of the property, attractively planted borders frame the house, while a pretty wrought fence that wraps around the property creates a welcoming entrance.

Two further double bedrooms-one with built-in wardrobes-are complemented by a good-sized single, perfect as an office or work-from-home space/bedroom, and a stylish family bathroom.

This home is all about lifestyle, and the garden plays a central role in that. Bathed in sunlight and afforded a generous degree of privacy, it creates a seamless extension of the living space-the perfect backdrop for family life, quiet moments, or entertaining friends. Thoughtfully arranged over three tiers to make the most of its southerly aspect, the garden offers a series of inviting spaces including paved terraces, an artificial lawn, and a playful putting green.
