LIVING ACCOMMODATION
Welcome inside. As you will see from your approach how beautifully kept and stylish this family home is, and you’re about to see something quite remarkable on your tour.
As you step through the front door into the hallway, the first feature that greets you is the rather grand oak and glass staircase which winds itself all the way up through to the top floor accommodation. This is the focal centre piece of the hallway. The hallway is neutrally presented, light, boasting gorgeous Karndean flooring that flows from the hallway through into the family dining room. The hallway gives access to the living room, dining room, cloakroom and the extended kitchen/breakfast, while still providing some space for a console table, and an under the stairs storage cupboard which is perfect for coats, shoes and hide-aways.
The living room is neutrally styled, bright and spacious, boasting dual aspect views with a window to the front looking into the fore-garden and the peaceful cul-de-sac, with French doors and windows to the rear opening out to lead you into the landscaped garden. The living room is ideal for the family and socialising, provides plenty of floor space for multiple sofas, coffee tables and media centre as well as having a focal in-built pebble feature fire.
Leading off the hallway is the downstairs cloakroom. Recently re-fitted to offer a clean light modern Villeroy & Boch suite, comprising of a wall-mounted hand wash basin with space to the side for soap and hand creams, complimented by a mixer tap. WC with Grohe dual flush control, radiator for towels, and a handy shelf for diffusers and candles, complimented by a leaf-pattern opening double glazed window. The cloakroom is beautifully styled with a light modern tiling to the walls and floor as well as having ceiling lighting.
The family dining room is a great sized room, perfect for those formal occasions or a nice relaxed family meal having plenty of floor space for a larger sized dining table, and an abundance of space around for dining room cabinets. The dining room is bright and neutrally presented, boasting a large double glazed window to the front to insure plenty of natural light, ceiling light and coving, topped off by stunning Karndean flooring which flows from the hallway.
The extended open-plan kitchen/dining area is the key focal point of this family home. Having been extended some years ago to deliver superb floor space, perfect for modern lifestyle, family living, and particularly entertaining.
As you step through from the hallway into the kitchen/diner your first gaze is that through the French doors to the rear which open out into the beautifully landscaped rear garden. The first area is the dining section, which works really well for the family and when entertaining especially to extend the party into the garden. There are some additional storage cupboards in the dining section and the perfect wall for a television.
The dining area opens into the kitchen space. The kitchen offers a good compliment of cream shaker-style units with contrasting granite work-surfaces, offering a one and a half built-in sink with mixer tap having Flexi-hose attachments and cold water dispenser tap to the side. The dishwasher is conveniently located close-by. The kitchen area offers space for a Range-style cooker, has a splash-back and extractor hood over this space, as well as space for your own American sized fridge/freezer. There are plenty of power points around for smaller appliances and internal door leading to the separate utility.
The breakfast bar is a great facility here, perfect to place a couple of bar stools, sit and enjoy for your morning tea and toast, read the morning news, or if you’re sat at home with a laptop doing some work, handy to the kettle.
The kitchen is kept light by not only the patio doors, but by a further window to the side of the dining area, and skylight above the vaulted ceiling to the kitchen zone. The kitchen area has light and ceiling spot lights, and easy to maintain neutral tiling to the floors which flow through into the separate utility area.
This is a fantastic space, working well for everybody, and if entertaining, then the ground floor accommodation flows really naturally from the kitchen through to the dining room and into the family lounge room to retire with a late evening coffee.
As a family, the separate utility is always really important and this home certainly delivers. Offering a continuation of the cream shaker-style units with sink and drainer, plenty of storage, and a built-in fridge/freezer. There’s some additional work-surface space, and home to the boiler as well as provisions for a washing machine. The utility has a window looking into the garden, and a door to the side to take out the washing.
FIRST FLOOR BEDROOMS & BATHROOM
The oak and glass staircase teases you up to the bedrooms and bathroom accommodation. Having the benefit of the bedrooms being shared over two floors with the modern neutral decor flowing all the way through the accommodation to contrast the staircase.
The first floor landing is spacious with the staircase really been the main act for this area, with the oak balustrade and glass panelling, really sets this space off. The first floor landing gives access to the principal bedroom suite, and bedrooms 2, 3 and four and the main family bathroom.
The principal bedroom suite is super spacious and beautifully styled, enjoying a view in to the peaceful cul-de-sac from the front double glazed window, whilst having an abundance of fitted furniture providing many drawers, dressing area and the benefit of fitted wardrobes with sliding doors. Generous with floor space, perfect for a larger bed. The bedroom has the advantage of air conditioning.
The principal bedroom has its own en-suite, which is a spacious size, providing a step-in double sized shower with mains-fed control with both hand-held and rain head attachments, beautifully complimented by a glass shower screen.

There is a Villeroy & Boch WC with dual flush all complimented by modern matching floor and wall tiling, with ceiling spot light, leaf pattern frosted double glazed opening window to the rear elevation and a ladder radiator for towels.
In addition, from the bedroom area is the airing cupboard which is home to the hot water cylinder which was replaced in 2023, we are advised it has a lengthy guaranty, there are shelves for tucking away towels.
The second bedroom is set to the front of the house, a bright and neutral space, also having the benefit of sliding fitted wardrobe and good floor area for a larger double bed with accompanying side tables. Presenting a view into the cul-de-sac with central heating radiator having thermostat control and ceiling lighting.
The third bedroom is currently being used as a separate sitting room, but makes for a really bright double sized bedroom set to the rear of the house with triple aspect windows enjoying the view of the landscaped rear garden. As the current owners have this as a sitting room, it works really well particularly for the younger members of the family so they have their own lounge space to watch a movie or play games. The room is tastefully presented, neutral with contrasting carpets and central heating.
The fourth bedroom is located on the middle floor set to the rear of the house, again a nice neutral and modern style, working well as a double bedroom, with plenty of space around for free-standing storage furniture.

TOP FLOOR ACCOMMODATION
Bedrooms number five and six are located on the top floor, and serviced by a modern shower room off the landing.

The landing is spacious, neutrally presented with the continuation of the contrasting carpets from the first floor, whilst providing some good eaves storage off the landing, access into the roof space, and having ceiling light, central heating radiator and doors to the two bedrooms and shower room.
The fifth bedroom is a nice sized double bedroom, we particularly love the view into the peaceful cul-de-sac, where the room delivers good floor space, perfect for a double bed with additional floor space for wardrobes and chest of drawers. The vaulted ceiling flows through the top floor gives additional character to this space, varied wall shapes to be creative with your colours, and the room also has ceiling lights and central heating.
Bedroom number six is here on the top floor, and a flexible space, working well as a spacious single sized bedroom, although could fit a double, but as you will see the current owners use this room as their home office. Nicely tucked out the way for work, having the convenience of a toilet on hand. This room is also stylishly presented, with a modern decor, and again having vaulted style ceilings, window to the front elevation with the central heating radiator set underneath, and access into the eaves space which stretches across the front of the house.
