Accommodation
A look inside reveals a welcoming entrance hallway with a useful guest cloakroom, valuable understairs storage cupboard, and stairs rising to the first floor. To the left is a light-filled, well-proportioned living room enjoying an excellent front aspect overlooking the green space, rich in birdlife. Double doors open into the impressive full-width open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space to the rear – the true hub of the home, perfect for both family life and entertaining.

The contemporary kitchen wraps around two sides of the room and features integrated appliances with complementary worktops. There is ample space for a family dining table alongside an informal seating area, with French double doors opening out onto the landscaped rear garden.

A winding balustrade staircase leads to a spacious first-floor landing with a side-facing window. Contemporary panel doors open to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted furniture, including bedside units, deep storage drawers, a built-in double wardrobe, and a pleasant front aspect overlooking trees and the development’s green space. The principal suite is completed by a private en-suite shower room with WC, wash basin, and fully tiled shower enclosure.

Bedrooms two and three enjoy views over the rear garden, while bedroom four has been fitted with full-width wardrobes, creating a stylish dressing room for the main bedroom. This room could easily be reinstated as a fourth bedroom or used as a study if required.
