Living Spaces
From the moment you step inside, the home immediately showcases the character and quality that flows throughout. A charming entrance vestibule with original-style mosaic tiled flooring sets the tone, leading through into a welcoming entrance hall where contemporary LVT flooring and the staircase rising to the first floor create an elegant first impression.
The main lounge is beautifully presented and combines warmth with modern styling, centred around a feature wood-burning stove which creates a cosy focal point to the room. A PVC double-glazed bay window allows plenty of natural light, whilst fitted shelving and stylish LVT flooring further enhance the space.
Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home is the stunning dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed to create both a practical and highly sociable living environment. Finished with a comprehensive range of matte grey fitted units complemented by quartz worktops and matching splashbacks, the kitchen also benefits from an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink unit together with a range of integrated appliances including a standard oven, combi microwave oven, induction hob with extraction canopy and integrated fridge and freezer.
The herringbone-effect LVT flooring flows seamlessly through into the impressive open-plan sitting and dining area, creating a superb continuation of the living space. Enhanced by a striking feature picture window overlooking the rear aspect, this room is flooded with natural light and provides the perfect setting for both everyday family living and entertaining alike.
Lower Ground Floor
A staircase from the main living accommodation leads down to two highly useful lower ground floor rooms, further enhancing the versatility and overall size of the home.
The principal basement room is currently utilised as an additional reception space and offers excellent flexibility to suit a variety of individual requirements, whether as a home office, playroom, gym or second sitting room. Double French doors open directly onto the rear courtyard, allowing natural light to flow into the space whilst creating an excellent connection to the outdoor area.
Complementing this level is a particularly spacious utility room, fitted with a range of contemporary units and work surfaces together with a sink unit and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. Practical yet stylishly presented, this space provides excellent additional storage and functionality away from the main kitchen area.
Beds & Bathrooms
The bedroom and bathroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the upper two floors, creating an excellent sense of space and privacy ideal for modern family living.
Occupying the entire second floor, the superb principal bedroom has been recently created by the current owners and provides an impressive retreat-style space. Beautifully presented throughout, the room benefits from a comprehensive range of gloss-finished fitted wardrobes, drawers and a matching dressing table, creating both practicality and a sleek contemporary finish. The spacious en-suite shower room is equally stylish, fitted with modern sanitary ware including a curved glazed shower enclosure with overhead shower, vanity wash basin and low-level WC, all complemented by contemporary tiled splashbacks.
To the first floor are two further generous double bedrooms, both offering excellent proportions rarely found in similar properties. One bedroom benefits from dual PVC double-glazed windows allowing an abundance of natural light, whilst the third bedroom enjoys elevated views across the surrounding countryside.
Completing the accommodation is a stunning three-piece family bathroom fitted with a beautifully appointed contemporary white suite, featuring an elegant freestanding bath with waterfall tap and flexible shower attachment, vanity wash basin with storage drawers beneath and low-level WC. Stylish tiled flooring together with half-tiled elevations complete this luxurious and relaxing space.
