Guide Price £650,000 - £700,000. Indulge in the very best of bespoke family living with this meticulously designed and thoughtfully executed self-build home, where quality craftsmanship, generous proportions and a highly practical layout combine to create an exceptional residence.

The sense of arrival is immediate. A grand entrance hall provides an impressive introduction, centred around a beautifully handcrafted staircase that rises elegantly to the first floor and sets the tone for the attention to detail found throughout the house. From here, two versatile reception rooms are positioned to either side of the hallway, offering flexibility to suit modern lifestyles. Whether used as a formal sitting room, home office, snug or games room, these spaces adapt effortlessly to changing family needs.

To the rear of the house, the main sitting room forms a welcoming retreat, generously proportioned and filled with natural light. Double doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out, while a striking brick-built fireplace with an oak mantel and log-burning stove provides a warm and characterful focal point.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan kitchen and dining room, designed as a true family hub. This expansive space encourages everyday living as well as entertaining, with ample room for a large dining table and sociable gatherings. The kitchen flows beautifully into a charming garden room, where glazed elevations frame views across the landscaped garden and allow light to flood the space throughout the day. A walk-through pantry sits discreetly off the kitchen, offering additional worktop space and excellent storage, and leads through to a well-equipped utility room that keeps household tasks neatly out of sight.

The first floor continues to impress. Five spacious double bedrooms are arranged around a bright and airy landing, ensuring comfort and privacy for all members of the household. The second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite shared with bedroom four, creating the potential for a dressing room, nursery or private suite arrangement. A charming study area is tucked off the landing, providing a quiet spot for work, reading or study.

Outside, the garden has been carefully considered to complement the house. A paved entertaining terrace offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and summer gatherings, while the main garden provides space for relaxation and play. Beyond this, an additional parcel of land to the rear introduces further versatility, suitable for recreation, small-scale gardening, or keeping chickens and growing produce.

To the front, ample parking is provided for several vehicles, alongside a substantial double garage that adds further practicality. Combining elegance, flexibility and everyday comfort, this outstanding home offers a lifestyle that caters beautifully to modern family living and must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
