The property is entered via an impressive reception hall, immediately setting the tone for the quality and attention to detail found throughout the home. Stunning herringbone-design Karndean flooring flows through the space, complemented by a bespoke oak staircase rising to the first-floor landing. Beautifully crafted internal doors with quality door furniture further enhance the finish, while a modern and efficient zoned underfloor heating system provides comfort throughout.
At the heart of the home is a breathtaking open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, extending to an impressive size and designed perfectly for both family living and entertaining. The space incorporates a cosy snug with a wood-burning stove, as well as a separate playroom, creating a superbly versatile family hub.
The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted with an excellent range of Shaker-style base, wall and drawer units, complemented by crafted Quartz worktops. Integrated and built-in appliances include a Rangemaster double oven, integrated dishwasher, illuminated larder cupboard, pantry, coffee dispenser and an instant boiling water Quooker tap. The kitchen comfortably accommodates a large dining table and benefits from bi-folding doors, allowing the space to open directly onto the rear terrace and gardens.
Additional practical accommodation includes a separate utility and boot room, with a personal door leading into the integral double garage. The garage is heated and carpeted, with electric doors, and offers excellent flexibility, including potential use as a gym.
Further ground-floor reception space includes a beautifully appointed sitting room, featuring an open fireplace and shuttered bay window to the front aspect. There is also a separate study, again enjoying an attractive shuttered window to the front.
To the first floor, the part-galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from air conditioning. The impressive principal bedroom suite features a walk-in dressing room and a generous, modern en-suite bathroom, complete with a four-piece suite including an oversized walk-in shower, Corian his and hers wash stand, and a freestanding luxury bath.
The remaining accommodation is equally well appointed, with a superb luxury family bathroom fitted with a four-piece suite, including a roll-edge bath and oversized walk-in shower with overhead rainfall shower head. Two further bedrooms benefit from beautifully finished luxury en-suite shower rooms. The fifth bedroom offers excellent versatility and could easily be utilised as a games room.
The property is approached via a smart brick-pillared entrance with automated gates, opening onto a generous gravelled driveway, turning area and forecourt, which in turn provides access to the integral garage. The frontage is beautifully maintained, with manicured lawns, attractive oak fencing to the front boundary, mature specimen trees and well-stocked, easy-to-maintain shrub borders.
To the rear, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance and are predominantly laid to lawn. A particularly impressive raised Riven porcelain terrace extends across the full width of the property, creating a superb setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with ample space for garden furniture and relaxed alfresco living.
