There is a range of integrated appliances, including a Miele double oven incorporating a grill, a 5-ring Miele gas hob with concealed extractor hood above and within the island is the sink unit with mixer tap, a Siemens dishwasher and a wine cooler.

Beyond the kitchen is the wood-floored living/dining space, which is a superb triple-aspect with bifold doors that open out to the garden and bring the outside in. Off the kitchen is the utility room which has a range of matching wall and base units, a tall storage cupboard, a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, as well as space for a washing machine, dryer and other under-counter appliances.

Adjacent to the living space is the guest bedroom suite, which has fitted wardrobes in the dressing area, double-glazed doors into the garden and a part-tiled en suite with an independent double-sized shower cubicle, WC, heated towel rail and wash hand basin inset into a vanity unit with two drawers.

The turned staircase with oak balustrades and glass panels, and a tall facing window, takes you to the first floor and spectacular galleried landing. Skylights allow the light to flood in as the landing opens into a cosy seating area with views over the front of the property. The fabulous principal bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobes has double-glazed doors to a Juliet balcony and an outstanding luxury en suite with a white suite incorporating a panelled bath with central mixer tap and shower attachment, a fully enclosed tiled shower unit with glass door, a wash hand basin sitting in a raised unit with drawers, a heated towel rail and WC.

Outside, you are greeted by a charming gravel and brick-paved driveway with a lawned area to the left that is bordered by mature shrubs. Opposite is the beautifully-crafted, oak-constructed double garage with twin up-and-over doors, while a paved pathway leads up to the front door.
