Wide tiled flooring immediately gives a sense of space and practicality, while recessed ceiling lights keep the area feeling light and welcoming. Underfoot, the comfort of full underfloor heating is immediately apparent, providing a consistent, cosy warmth throughout the house, powered by a modern heat pump that is serviced annually for efficiency and peace of mind.The staircase becomes a striking architectural feature in its own right, finished with solid timber treads and a sleek glass balustrade that allows light to flow freely through the space. Beneath the stairs, cleverly designed storage cupboards are seamlessly built in, offering excellent everyday practicality without interrupting the clean lines of the room. Open display niches add character and provide the perfect spot for decorative pieces, subtly softening the modern finish. The entrance opens naturally into the main open-plan living space.

The open-plan living area is the true centrepiece of the home, offering a beautifully balanced space that combines style, light and functionality. The kitchen sits comfortably at one end, finished with sleek cabinetry and generous worktop space, while a substantial central island provides both practical storage and an informal gathering point. There is ample room for bar seating if desired, making it a natural spot for morning coffee or casual entertaining. Contemporary pendant lighting above the island adds warmth and definition, while integrated appliances keep the overall look clean and streamlined. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the dining area is clearly defined yet remains part of the wider living space. It comfortably accommodates a large dining table, ideal for family meals and hosting guests, with feature lighting overhead creating a welcoming focal point. The tiled flooring continues throughout, enhancing the sense of continuity and space, with the comfort of underfloor heating ensuring the room remains inviting year-round. Beyond the dining area, the living space opens out into a bright and inviting seating area. Well proportioned, it allows for multiple sofas and occasional furniture without feeling crowded, creating a relaxed environment for everyday living. Large glazed doors span the rear wall, flooding the room with natural light and framing far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape. These doors open directly onto the terrace, effortlessly extending the living space outdoors during warmer months. Both sets of bi-folding doors are fitted with discreet, hidden blinds, allowing light and privacy to be balanced with ease.

From the central area, a door leads through to a more intimate living room. This space offers a warm and inviting retreat, thoughtfully separated from the main open-plan area to create a more private setting for relaxing. Well proportioned and comfortably laid out, the room easily accommodates generous seating while still allowing space for side tables and media furniture, making it ideal for cosy evenings or quieter moments away from the hub of the house. A characterful fireplace forms a natural focal point, featuring a standalone bioethanol fire set within a stone surround, perfectly suited to the room’s proportions and adding both charm and comfort, particularly during the colder months. Soft carpeting underfoot enhances the snug feel, while subtle recessed lighting and a contemporary ceiling fitting provide a gentle, ambient glow. A window to the rear allows natural light to filter in and offers pleasant outlooks, while still leaving ample wall space for furniture placement. Overall, this is a beautifully balanced living room that blends comfort with character.

The ground floor utility room and WC have been thoughtfully designed to combine everyday practicality with the same high standard of finish seen throughout the rest of the home. The utility room is well laid out, providing ample space for laundry appliances beneath a solid worktop, along with room for additional storage and household essentials. Its generous proportions make it a highly functional space for busy family life, keeping washing and utility tasks neatly tucked away from the main living areas. A door from the utility room leads conveniently outside, ideal for returning from the garden or managing muddy boots and pets. Bright finishes and recessed lighting keep the space feeling fresh and uncluttered. The adjacent WC is stylishly presented, featuring a contemporary suite with a smart vanity unit offering useful storage. Clean lines and tasteful detailing give the room a modern feel, making it practical for both daily use and guests alike.

Stairs rise to the first floor, arriving at a long and light landing that connects all principal rooms. The landing continues the home’s calm, contemporary feel, finished with warm wood-effect flooring and crisp neutral décor. A rooflight draws natural daylight deep into the space, while exposed timber beams add character and a subtle sense of craftsmanship, tying in beautifully with the staircase below. Along the landing, a range of built-in storage cupboards and wardrobes has been cleverly incorporated, providing excellent concealed storage without encroaching on the flow of the space. Generously proportioned, the landing avoids any sense of a narrow corridor and allows doors to each room to open comfortably.

The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive and versatile space, currently arranged as a billiard and games room, yet offering excellent flexibility to suit a wide range of needs. Its generous proportions allow it to comfortably accommodate a full-size pool table while still leaving ample room for seating, storage and display furniture, clearly demonstrating the scale of the room. Equally, the space would very comfortably accommodate a king-size bed alongside additional bedroom furniture, making it ideal as a substantial double bedroom. Large glazed doors flood the room with natural light and open out to enjoy attractive open views, enhancing the sense of space and making it equally well suited for use as a home cinema, studio or entertaining room. The room is complemented by a sleek en suite shower room, finished in a contemporary style. A spacious walk-in shower with glass enclosure forms the centrepiece, paired with modern tiling, a stylish vanity unit and WC. A rooflight further enhances the bright, airy feel. Together, the room and en suite create a highly adaptable and well-appointed suite, perfectly suited to guests, older children or those seeking flexible additional living space.

The second bedroom is a beautifully proportioned and light-filled room, designed to feel both relaxing and luxurious. There is ample space for a large double or king-size bed, alongside bedside tables and additional furniture, with built-in double wardrobes neatly positioned to provide excellent storage while keeping the room feeling uncluttered. Wide glazed doors draw in an abundance of natural light and frame far-reaching countryside views, enhancing the strong connection to the outdoors. The en suite shower room is finished to a high standard, featuring a generous walk-in shower, contemporary tiling and a smart vanity unit, delivering comfort and convenience with a clean, elegant finish.

The third bedroom is another generous and well-presented double room, offering a calm and comfortable space ideal for guests, family members or older children. It easily accommodates a double bed along with additional furniture, while a wide window enjoys woodland views and brings in excellent natural light. This bedroom is complemented by its own en suite bathroom, fitted with a modern curved bath and overhead shower, crisp tiling and a stylish vanity unit, creating a practical yet attractive private suite.

Outside - the external space is just as impressive as the interior, offering a beautifully landscaped setting that fully capitalises on the property’s elevated position and far-reaching views. Directly accessed from the main living area, a large paved terrace provides an exceptional space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with ample room for a full dining suite, relaxed seating and a spa. The spa is approximately three years old and sits within a smart composite-decked area, creating a stylish and low-maintenance setting for relaxation. Sleek glass balustrading ensures uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, forming a stunning backdrop for both everyday enjoyment and social gatherings. From the terrace, a wide central pathway leads gracefully down through the garden, dividing the space and enhancing the sense of structure and flow. The lawn is generous, level and well maintained, offering plenty of room for children to play, pets to roam or keen gardeners to enjoy, while established hedging and fencing provide privacy without compromising the outlook. To the side of the property, a substantial driveway offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles and provides convenient access to the house. In addition, there is an open former barn offering exciting potential for renovation, subject to the necessary consents. This versatile space could be transformed into a home office or studio, a self-contained annexe, a gym or wellness space, or a creative workshop. The combination of landscaped terraces, expansive lawn, outstanding views, generous parking, energy-efficient heating and the potential to further enhance the property creates an outdoor setting that is both highly functional and truly aspirational.
