This cosy living space centres around a feature log burner and bespoke cabinetry, with elegant panelling and large windows allowing for excellent natural light.
To the rear, the property has been extended to create a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, flooded with light from large crittall-style doors and a striking roof lantern. The bespoke kitchen features a substantial central island, quartz worktops, premium integrated appliances and excellent storage, making it perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining. The space flows seamlessly onto the landscaped rear garden.
The garden has been professionally designed to provide a tranquil and functional outdoor area, featuring a combination of lawn, mature planting, stylish terrace and raised decking, ideal for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and a calm, elegant finish, while the second bedroom is a generous double overlooking the garden. The third bedroom is ideal as a nursery, guest room or home office. A beautifully finished family bathroom completes the first floor, with contemporary fittings and underfloor heating.
Further benefits include a downstairs cloakroom, double glazing throughout, updated electrics, bespoke joinery, integrated alarm system and multiple lighting zones.
The loft spans the full footprint of the property and offers excellent potential for further extension (subject to the necessary consents), providing an opportunity to create additional bedrooms or a principal suite.
