Leading off the hall to the left is a living room, occupying an exceptionally generous footprint which allows for various configurations of lounge furniture, and decorated in neutral tones, enhanced by a handsome wood floor and a fireplace. A feature bay window captures natural light throughout the day and frames leafy garden views. The living room is connected to a large, versatile room, perfect for entertaining, which could be used in a number of ways, such as a sun room or a formal dining room. A wealth of glazing floods the space with natural light and French doors extend the room onto the garden. The kitchen is well-appointed with attractive cream cabinets and wood worktops, including a central island, whilst integrated appliances comprise a double oven, an induction hob, an extractor hood, a microwave, and a fridge/freezer. A utility room (with external access) across the hall houses laundry appliances, additional cabinetry, and a clothes pulley. A family room and one of the home's five bedrooms completes the ground-floor accommodation. The family room, as with the other two reception rooms, is spacious and flexible, offering fantastic versatility and options for use. The principal bedroom is neutrally decorated, carpeted for comfort, and comes accompanied by an en-suite bathroom comprising a bath with an overhead shower and a folding glazed screen, a basin set into storage, a WC, and a mirrored, wall-mounted vanity cabinet. On the first floor, an airy landing leads to three further bedrooms and a family shower room. The largest bedroom has the same characterful bay window as the living room and is accompanied by built-in storage, whilst the remaining two bedrooms are also supplemented by storage. The modern, stylishly monochrome shower room comes complete with an enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a vanity unit with a basin inset, a WC, and a chrome towel radiator. A fifth bedroom completes the accommodation, accessed via a split-level landing and offering alternative use as a home office/dressing room.
