This extended and attractive family home sits on a generous corner plot of approximately a quarter of an acre. Set back behind a sweeping driveway, the property is both imposing and welcoming, offering well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. A spacious entrance hall with a galleried landing and stained-glass window sets the tone, leading to a selection of versatile reception rooms. The main living room is a bright, double-aspect space with a bay window, feature fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, and French doors opening directly onto the garden. There is a separate family room at the front of the house, also with a bay window and another charming fireplace, creating a cosy retreat. At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family area with tiled flooring and casement doors to the garden. The painted solid wood kitchen includes granite worktops, a centre island with breakfast seating, and a Britannia six-ring induction range with extractor above. There is space for an American-style fridge/freezer, an integrated dishwasher, and a bay window that adds light and character to the space. The adjacent utility room provides excellent practical space with its traditional timber dresser, sink, space for a further fridge, and plumbing for appliances. A ground floor study overlooks the garden and is ideal for those working from home. There’s also a downstairs cloakroom with fitted storage. Upstairs, five double bedrooms are arranged around the galleried landing, including a generous main bedroom with a smart en-suite shower room. Several of the bedrooms feature bay windows, bringing in plenty of natural light, and one enjoys a double aspect with a built-in window seat. The remaining rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate shower room, both finished in a contemporary style.
