Description

This substantial and beautifully appointed family home, built in 2004 has been further enhanced in recent years by the current owners with great care and attention on its design and presentation. The accommodation, arranged over three floors, is both spacious and meticulously maintained.

The principal reception rooms are accessed via a spacious and welcoming reception hall, which also leads to a generously proportioned, superbly equipped kitchen/breakfast/family room. From the dining area, French doors open on to the terrace and garden, providing ideal indoor/outdoor dining space. An elegant, double-aspect sitting room features a striking Minster-style stone fireplace as its focal point, with two sets of French doors leading out to the terrace. The well-proportioned dining room enjoys views over the front garden, while a comfortable and well-appointed study offers a quiet retreat for work or reading. Also on the ground floor, accessed from the oak-floored reception hall, are a cloakroom and a spacious cloaks cupboard.

The first floor hosts four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is especially impressive, comprising a light-filled, dual-aspect bedroom, a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
