Ground Floor

Upon entering, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hallway features a built-in cupboard ideal for storing shoes and coats. A family house must have - a Downstairs WC. There is a window to front, low level WC and an integrated wash hand basin with built-in cupboards beneath. The staircase ascends to the first floor, and a door leads to the cosy snug/sitting room at the front of the property, perfect for relaxing and watching TV.

The Kitchen seamlessly flows into the Living and Dining Area, creating a harmonious hub of the home and entertaining space. The window at the rear offers a pleasant view over the garden and the light oak wooden worktop incorporates a stainless steel sink and drainer, while a breakfast bar accommodates four stools beneath. The Kitchen enjoys integrated appliances such as a wine cooler, dishwasher, freezer, and fridge, along with double 'SMEG' electric ovens complemented by a five-ring gas hob. A display of smooth-fronted eye-level and base units, along with a clever corner carousel cupboard, adds practicality. The deep drawers, with their soft-close mechanism, conceal an inner cutlery tray and a door provides easy access to and from the Utility Room.

Flowing seamlessly from the Kitchen, the Living Area is a testament to contemporary design. Karndean flooring spreads across the area, complemented by a ladder radiator that serves as both a functional element and a design statement. The centrepiece is an eye-catching cast iron wood burner, positioned atop a semi-circular toughened glass hearth. Recessed ceiling spotlights contribute to the ambient lighting, and the Living Room extends openly into the Dining Area.

The Dining Area has wall-to-wall fully double glazed bifold doors opening up on to the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Karndean flooring continues, and additional touches include a pyramid skylight and slit windows at eye level, framing views of the rear garden.

The Utility Room has a window facing the rear and Karndean flooring. The worktop incorporates a stainless steel sink unit and there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and a base unit for storage. There is also a composite door to the garden. The Utility Room conveniently connects to the useful and versatile Home Office.

The Home Office has a smoked glass window to side, along with recessed ceiling spotlights and a radiator.
