A separate utility room and a stylish home office further enhance the functionality of the ground floor.

The first floor is accessed via a galleried landing, leading to five generously proportioned bedrooms, luxurious en-suite shower rooms to bedrooms one and two and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The fifth bedroom benefits from a bespoke range of fitted furniture incorporating hanging space and shelving, ideal for use as a dressing room, nursery or additional study.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a garage and driveway, plus two additional parking spaces included in a bay to the front of the house.

The professionally landscaped garden has been designed with entertaining in mind, featuring a manicured lawn, porcelain-paved patio and an elegant timber pergola. A dedicated outdoor seating and BBQ area is framed by raised, well-stocked borders and enclosed by fencing to the boundaries, offering both privacy and a tranquil outdoor retreat.
