This well-appointed, contemporary property was built ten years ago and benefits from energy-efficient heating using an air source heat pump system and a range of versatile, roomy accommodation set in an enviable plot in the centre of a well-connected village with excellent road and rail links on the doorstep. The home is well set back from the road and enjoys a considerable rear garden and ample parking. The large reception hall leads naturally and the bright and sizeable open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, with wide double sliding doors onto the property’s rear terrace and views across the lush garden. There is also a useful shower room/cloakroom accessed from the hallway. The modern kitchen features a generous array of wall and base cabinetry and various integrated appliances with plenty of room for enjoying family meals, entertaining and relaxing in the sociable central hub of the home. A well-sized utility room leads off from the kitchen with an even further array of storage solutions, an additional sink and useful side access.

Two well-proportioned bedrooms sit at either side of the property with the principal benefitting from a large dressing room and en-suite shower/wet room. The second double aspect bedroom has recently been used as another reception room. The versatility and potential of the accommodation on offer has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
