The house then takes you through to the very spacious extended kitchen breakfast room with high ceilings and views to the garden. This superb family space benefits from a large central island incorporating countertop seating and pendant lights above.

There is an extensive range of integrated appliances including a Rangemaster Cooker, Samsung American-style fridge freezer, Siemens dishwasher and microwave and a John Lewis wine fridge. This larger-than-average kitchen features enough room for an additional reception space at the end, leading on to the garden. Through bifold doors you step out into the 36 ft garden, which is made predominantly with artificial grass and bordered by beds incorporating trees, plants, and shrubbery. Immediately outside the kitchen is a patio area, which is perfect for relaxing and alfresco dining. Completing the ground floor is a spacious guest cloakroom and access to the cellar, which is essential for additional storage.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the front of the house is the principal bedroom with excellent ceiling height and wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes. Adjacent is a second good-sized double bedroom currently being used as a dressing room by the owners. To the rear is a third double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and views over the pretty garden below. Completing this floor is the family bathroom which boasts a large bathtub with overhead shower and glass shower screen.

On the top floor you enter the generous fourth double bedroom which is particularly bright due to its double aspect, boasting a Velux window to the front and a sash window to the rear overlooking the gardens below. This lovely bedroom provides ample storage via its built-in cupboards and also features a delightful en suite shower room. There is potential to add additional space on the second-floor rear mezzanine, which can be used as an extra double bedroom or a home office. This, of course, is subject to planning permission being obtained, but there is clear precedent on the road.
