The entrance hall includes a useful understairs storage cupboard and provides access to the galleried landing, with wood internal doors throughout. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, together with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven and gas hob. There is ample space for a dining table, while sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear garden. A separate utility room provides additional storage cupboards and a sink, as well as space for coats and shoes, with a door leading to the driveway. There are two generous reception rooms. The main living room is wonderfully spacious and enjoys views of and access to the private rear garden, with a gas fire set within a marble and timber surround providing an attractive focal point. The second reception room is another generous space and is currently used as a family/music room. There is also a much-requested home office and a convenient ground floor WC, fitted with a modern suite. Accessed via the galleried landing are five bedrooms. A large picture window provides pleasant views over the green to the front, while the landing also offers loft access and a useful linen cupboard.
The main bedroom features a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes, incorporating drawers and overhead storage, together with a modern en suite. The second generous double bedroom also benefits from an en suite. The family bathroom is fitted with a hand basin and vanity unit with built-in storage, together with a bath with shower over. The remaining bedrooms offer flexible accommodation, with two being particularly well suited as children’s rooms, completing this well-planned interior.
OUTSIDE AND PARKING
The property occupies an attractive position within a sought-after development of similarly impressive detached homes. Set back from the road, a double-width block-paved driveway provides comfortable parking for three vehicles and leads to the detached double garage, which has power and light connected, together with useful overhead storage.
The impressive south-facing rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of this fantastic home. Fully enclosed by fencing to the boundaries, it features an expanse of lawn providing the perfect space for children to play. A patio area is ideal for outdoor dining, while a recently installed timber pergola provides an additional shaded seating area.
The garden extends to the side of the property, where there is a decked area housing a hot tub, which is available by separate negotiation.
