Amtico flooring flows throughout the ground floor, setting a clean and contemporary tone. A graceful staircase with painted balustrading and timber handrail rises to the galleried landing above, forming an attractive architectural feature. Practical storage is well considered, with a generous cloak cupboard and a stylish ground-floor WC.

Positioned to the front of the house, the sitting room provides a more formal retreat, ideal for quieter moments. A large window frames the open outlook, allowing light to flood the room. A contemporary wall-mounted inset fireplace set on a marble plinth creates a subtle focal point, while soft carpeting and neutral finishes enhance the room's calm and comfortable feel. The proportions comfortably accommodate a full suite of lounge furniture. The heart of the home lies to the rear in the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space. Generous in scale, this area is filled with natural light from large rear windows and three-panel bi-fold doors opening directly onto the patio. The sleek contemporary kitchen features quartz worktops and a substantial central island with integrated storage and a five-ring induction hob, allowing easy connection with the dining and family areas. Fully integrated Siemens appliances include a main oven, combination microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, creating a seamless and cohesive finish. A large under-stair walk-in cupboard provides valuable storage while maintaining an uncluttered feel. The dining area sits naturally between the kitchen and family space, with room for a large table, while the family area offers a relaxed setting with direct access to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room mirrors the high standard of finish, with fitted units, worktop space and provision for laundry appliances. A door leads directly to the rear garden, while internal access connects to the double garage. The garage is well proportioned and fitted with a remote-controlled electric door, providing secure parking alongside excellent storage. The principal bedroom suite is a beautifully proportioned retreat, offering a quiet aspect, a walk in wardrobe and a luxurious en suite bathroom with bathtub, separate walk-in shower, wall hung WC, vanity unit and heated towel rail. Recessed lighting and contemporary finishes complete the space. The staircase leads to an impressive galleried landing, flooded with natural light and open to the hallway below. This central space creates a strong sense of volume and connection throughout the home. Bedrooms two and three are generous doubles, each with their own en-suite shower rooms, making them ideal for guests or older children. Bedrooms four and five are further well-proportioned doubles, offering flexibility for family use or home working.
