The property

Welcoming you into the property and immediately setting the tone for the pristine interiors to follow are an entrance porch and reception hall, with the latter offering plenty of space for furniture items and potentially a study/home office area, if required. This wonderful open-plan space will undoubtedly appeal to families and those who love to entertain, with French doors to the rear opening onto the garden and extending the space outdoors during the warmer months. The living/dining room offers an expansive floorspace which allows for endless configurations of lounge and dining furniture. In the kitchen, contemporary, sleek white handle-less cabinetry is accompanied by spacious grey worktops and a number of integrated appliances. These comprise an oven, a combination microwave, an induction hob, an extractor hood, and a dishwasher, whilst a freestanding American-style fridge/freezer is neatly housed within the cabinets. An adjoining utility room (with external and garage access) supplements the kitchen, providing a discrete space for laundry appliances. One of the bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, with the remaining four on the first floor. The ground-floor bedroom is ideal for those requiring lower-level sleeping accommodation, and could also be used as a second, separate reception area, a children’s play room, or a home office, if desired. Of the first-floor bedrooms, two are accompanied by built-in wardrobes and the principal boasts a dressing room and an en-suite shower room. The home benefits from two shower rooms (one en-suite) and a separate family bathroom. The principal bedroom’s en-suite shower room comprises a corner shower enclosure, a basin set into storage, and a WC, whilst the other shower room neighbours the ground-floor bedroom and comes complete with stylish, marble-inspired wall and flooring tiling, a walk-in enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a vanity unit with an inset basin, and a WC. The family bathroom comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a basin set into storage, and a WC. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency, and the home also benefits from solar panels. Externally, the house boasts a large rear garden, enjoying lovely sunshine throughout the day and predominantly laid to lawn, featuring a patio for outdoor seating, and bordered by fencing, established trees, and a stone wall. The garden also includes an established orchard with a number of apple trees. Excellent off-street parking is provided by an integral single garage and a multi-car driveway.
