The front elevation has been enhanced with full leadwork cladding to the two dormers, each fitted with modern tilt-and-turn windows, while discreet security lighting and pre-installed CCTV cabling provide peace of mind without detracting from the clean architectural lines. Step inside and you are welcomed into an impressive entrance hall that immediately conveys a sense of space and design. Finished with elegant herringbone flooring and contemporary wall lighting, the hallway feels both refined and inviting, with natural light filtering through the glazed front door. From here, the layout flows effortlessly into the principal ground-floor rooms, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures year-round comfort with individual zone control to every room. To the front of the house is a generous ground-floor bedroom, offering excellent flexibility depending on lifestyle needs.

A Quooker boiling water tap adds both convenience and a touch of luxury, while generous worktop space and a central island encourage guests to gather and socialise. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the dining area enjoys plenty of natural light and opens directly onto the newly laid porcelain paving and composite decking, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A separate utility room and ground-floor shower room add further practicality, keeping day-to-day life neatly organised. The staircase rises from the entrance hall through the centre of the home, combining solid oak handrails with sleek black balustrading and a soft carpet runner for comfort. At the top, a spacious, double-height landing creates a real sense of arrival on the first floor, flooded with light and centred around a striking statement chandelier.

The principal suite is a true highlight of the home, offering a calm, hotel-style retreat that has clearly been designed with both comfort and impact in mind. The bedroom itself is generously proportioned and flooded with natural light, while the en suite elevates the space to something special. Finished with large-format porcelain tiling, it features a striking freestanding bath positioned beneath contemporary dormer windows, creating a beautiful focal point. A walk-in rainfall shower with glass enclosure, twin wall-mounted basins set into a sleek floating vanity, and matt black fittings complete the look, while subtle feature lighting and vertical slatted detailing add texture and warmth.

Beyond its visual appeal, the home has undergone an extensive programme of upgrades, ensuring it is not only visually impressive but also technically robust and exceptionally well equipped for modern living. Throughout the house, all internal walls and floors have been structurally upgraded and soundproofed, while a full rewire and Cat 6 data cabling to every room provide fast, reliable connectivity. A brand-new Worcester boiler paired with a 300-litre vented hot water cylinder and entirely new pipework delivers efficient, dependable heating and hot water, complemented by nine solar panels and a 5kW battery storage system to help reduce running costs. To the rear, the garden has been designed with low maintenance and entertaining in mind.
