The skylit open plan kitchen and dining area provide the ideal setting for modern family living, with additional access onto the garden, a range of wall and base units arranged in a u-shape with a breakfast bar, various integrated appliances and ample space for dining and entertaining. It also has useful access into the attached garage.

The first-floor landing flows naturally onto the bedrooms and sleek family bathroom, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a variety of bespoke built-in wardrobes and upper bay window. The two further bedrooms are also well sized, one of which features additional eaves storage. The second floor houses the final and considerable bedroom suite, which enjoys a large walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with bathtub and separate shower.

The south-facing and private garden is enclosed via fencing on either side and a tall, neat rear hedge and is bordered by an array of established shrubbery and trees. A paved and stepped terrace accessible via the drawing and dining rooms provides the perfect space to dine al fresco in the warmer months.
