Tucked well back from the road behind secure gated parking, this substantial and beautifully presented family home immediately gives a sense of space, privacy and flexibility. Originally built in the late 1970s and thoughtfully extended by the current owners in the early 2000s, the house now offers generous, well-balanced accommodation that works perfectly for modern family life.

With open countryside stretching out behind the garden and a sunny south-facing aspect, it combines a rural feel with practical everyday living.

The ground floor is particularly impressive, offering a variety of reception spaces that can be adapted to suit changing needs. There is a comfortable lounge for quieter evenings, a formal dining room ideal for entertaining, and a separate family room that links seamlessly with the conservatory, creating a sociable hub overlooking the garden. A dedicated study provides an excellent work-from-home option, while the conservatory adds a bright, relaxed space with direct access to the terrace and garden beyond.

At the heart of the home sits a large, light-filled kitchen that stretches across the rear of the house. Designed with both practicality and sociability in mind, it features extensive fitted units, quality integrated appliances and a welcoming breakfast and dining area with built-in seating.
