The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed with modern family living and entertaining in mind. A grand entrance hall accessed via a striking bespoke hardwood front door leading to a sweeping staircase, creates an impressive first impression and forms the central hub of the home.

To one side, a spacious lounge provides an elegant yet comfortable setting for relaxing, while a separate snug offers a more intimate retreat-ideal for quieter evenings or use as a media room.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, with a generous selection of integrated Neff appliances and a circular bespoke seating area providing a great formal dining experience or informal based on your mood. There is an excellent family space designed for both everyday living and entertaining, this expansive area features a large central island, generous dining space and a beautifully designed sunken family area, adding architectural interest and a sense of occasion. Large openings lead directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Further enhancing the practicality of the home is a walk-in bespoke pantry, hidden behind a pocket door creating a seamless look to the kitchen, with utility room, boot room, and plant room, all carefully positioned for convenience. A bespoke refrigerated wine store adds a touch of luxury, while a ground floor shower room and cloakroom/WC complete the layout. A double garage provides secure parking and additional storage.

First Floor

The first floor is approached by the stunning sweeping staircase with black square iron spindles, hardwood treads and risers and curved hardwood handrail which forms the central atrium and spacious landing with beautiful bespoke solid wood internal doors accessing the accommodation on this level as well as to the annexe room above the double garage and a continuation of the stunning sweeping staircase leads to the remaining accommodation on the second floor.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property, enjoying access to a private balcony with attractive views across the extensive grounds. The suite further benefits from a bespoke fitted dressing room, luxurious steam shower room, and direct access to a practical first-floor laundry room.

The first floor also offers two further bedrooms both generous doubles, each serviced by their own luxury en-suite.

The annexe is accessed internally from the first-floor landing and is situated above the double garage, providing versatile and flexible accommodation. Comprising a sitting room, bedroom, kitchenette and shower room, it is ideally suited for a independent relative, nanny, housekeeper, or guest accommodation. The annexe also benefits from its own private external access via a wrought iron staircase.

Second Floor

The second floor continues the home’s impressive sense of space and natural light, centred around a striking galleried landing overlooking the entrance hall below.

This level currently provides two additional bedrooms, both benefiting from private en suite facilities, although the layout could easily be reconfigured to suit individual requirements.

To the immediate rear is an expansive porcelain-tiled terrace with designated seating and dining areas, together with a bespoke outdoor kitchen installation. Carefully designed retaining walls enhance the space, creating a sheltered sun-trap atmosphere and a unique microclimate ideal for al fresco dining and social occasions throughout the year.

The generous rear garden also offers exciting future possibilities, with planning permission already granted for a stable block accessed via Back Lane. This area could equally lend itself to a garden studio, home office, summerhouse, or wellness space, subject to individual requirements.
