The Steps was designed and built by the current owners and completed in 2019. Modern, stylish and well-proportioned spacious rooms were at the heart of the build, alongside a strong focus on energy efficiency, which is why air source heating was chosen, with 14 solar panels and battery storage added just last year resulting in an ‘A’ rated EPC.

The Steps was designed and built by the current owners and completed in 2019. Modern, stylish and well-proportioned spacious rooms were at the heart of the build, alongside a strong focus on energy efficiency, which is why air source heating was chosen, with 14 solar panels and battery storage added just last year resulting in an ‘A’ rated EPC.
The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout. The entrance hall, dining room and sitting room all have engineered oak flooring. Both reception rooms are generously proportioned, with the sitting room featuring a fireplace with a woodburning stove and French doors opening onto the garden, while the dining room enjoys a walk-in bay window. Bespoke, made-to-measure shutters and blinds have been fitted virtually throughout and are included in the sale.
The true heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, dining and family room. The stylish kitchen, with quartz worktops, is complemented by walls finished in Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath, along with Mandarin Stone wall tiles and limestone flooring also supplied by Mandarin Stone. The kitchen includes glass display cabinets and integrated Neff appliances, including two ‘hide and slide’ ovens, a matching induction hob, a Neff fridge and a freezer. There is also a separate wine cooler. The space enjoys a double aspect outlook, with a Belfast sink positioned beneath one of the windows. Bi-fold doors open from the dining area onto the patio, seamlessly extending the living space during the summer months. The dining area also offers ample room for sofas and comfortable seating, creating a relaxed family and entertaining space.
Practical areas include a cloakroom, cloaks cupboard and a utility room with an external door leading to the garden.
The staircase rises to the part galleried first floor landing, where there is space for a chandelier-style light fitting to hang centrally. There are four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities. There is a modern family bathroom. The principal bedroom features a stylish en-suite and a clever dressing area to the rear with fitted hanging space and shelving.
A short flight of steps lead up to the front door, giving the property its name and a walled front garden where there is an array of colourful planting. Side gates provide access to the completely enclosed rear garden which is beautifully established and full of colour. There is a south and west facing patio of Indian sandstone, where you can sit and enjoy views of innumerable shrubs and maturing trees including acers, apples, ornamental pears and multistem birches all providing privacy from neighbouring properties. Every garden desire has been catered for, with a lawn for recreation, a dedicated vegetable growing area with raised beds, Arden shed and an excellent Rhino greenhouse.
To the rear electronically operated double gates lead to a parking area with space for several vehicles in front of an open fronted garage, The second garage has been thoughtfully divided to provide a lockable store and a studio, ideal for use as a home office, gym or studio. There is a wall mounted EV charger.
