Set back from the main road and accessed via a five-bar gate, the private and secure front garden is predominately laid to lawn with beech hedges and borders an impressive sweeping driveway. The driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the detached double garage, which benefits from electric up and over doors, power, light and a fully boarded loft space with a retractable ladder.

Accessed via an attractive storm porch with a quarry tiled floor, the property welcomes you into the entrance hall which is laid with stylish Ted Todd light oak flooring that is continued through to the beautiful kitchen/ breakfast room, boot room, study and the guest w/c. Designed with both function and finish in mind, the kitchen boasts dual-aspect views and so is flooded with natural light and is complete with a Wychwood bespoke handmade kitchen suite. The suite itself comprises stylish eye and base level units with quartz worktops, a central breakfast island, a Rangemaster five-burner cooker with double electric oven and built-in extractor above, an integral wine fridge, a full length Miele fridge, under-counter Miele freezer, Miele dishwasher and a boiling tap.

All three reception rooms have been beautifully decorated and can all be accessed from the hall. The first reception room, the dining room, is laid with new sisal flooring and is positioned to the front elevation, displaying lovely views over the front garden. Generous in size and definitely the heart to this home, the living room boasts dual-aspect views and showcases a Contura woodburner with a new slate hearth as its focal point.
