Welcome home…

The entrance vestibule is accessed via a uPVC door with opaque glazed insets and a front-facing window, creating a bright and welcoming space, finished with tiled flooring and recessed downlighting. An ideal area to greet guests and remove shoes and coats before continuing into the hallway, which features oak-effect laminate flooring, attractive wall panelling, and provides access to the remainder of the accommodation.

The relaxation zone…

To the left lies the front reception room, finished with the same flooring and centred around an open fireplace with stone hearth and wooden mantel. A front-facing window, television point and pendant lighting complete this spacious and inviting room.

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with white wall and base units, complemented by white subway tiling to splash areas and wooden countertops.

The central island incorporates a five-burner gas hob with an extractor above and provides breakfast bar seating.

Grey tiled flooring and recessed downlighting continue through to the dining area, which is flooded with natural light from three Velux windows and bi-folding doors opening onto the rear garden, creating a bright and airy space for entertaining.

The practical stuff…

From here, a door opens into the neatly tucked-away utility room, fitted with kitchen-complementary wall and base units to match the kitchen. The space incorporates plumbing for a washing machine, venting for a tumble dryer and a sink unit with etched drainer to the side, whilst two rear-facing windows and recessed downlighting provide excellent natural and ambient light.

The utility room also gives access to a modern cloakroom, fitted with a back-to-wall w.c. Wall-mounted wash hand basin and chrome heated towel rail. The suite is finished in neutral tiling and features contrasting matte black accents. In addition, the utility room provides internal access to the integrated tandem garage, which benefits from electric up-and-over doors, power and light, and an external door leading to the side of the property.

Contents may cause drowsiness…

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, which gives way to the first five bedrooms, is illuminated by recessed downlighting and offers with two integrated storage cupboards.

The principal bedroom is a generous double with a front-facing window, fitted wardrobe to the eaves, recessed downlights, pendant lighting and a television point.

The suite comprises a wet-room style shower with frosted glazed screen, wall niches for toiletries, a vanity wash hand basin with illuminated mirror above, and a back-to-wall w.c., finished with a heated towel rail and recessed downlighting.

A second floor with much potential…

The first offers an ideal home office space, benefititing from natural light cascading from Velux windows and aided by recess downlights above. The room also benefits from useful eaves storage and access to a partitioned storage cupboard with plumbing in place, offering excellent potential to create an additional cloakroom to serve this floor.

Bedroom six offers space for a double bed, with Velux windows, eaves storage and pendant lighting. Currently utilised as a games room, this versatile space could be reimagined as a bedroom with adjoining dressing area, creating the potential for an impressive top-floor principal suite.

The garden spot…

The garden begins with a porcelain-tiled patio, ideal for al fresco dining, and is enclosed by timber fencing. Beyond lies a well-maintained lawn with planted borders providing colour and interest, along with a timber shed positioned to the corner for additional storage.
