Spanning the rear of the property is a most impressive double aspect kitchen/dining room/family room which boasts matching roof lanterns to provide an abundance of natural light. Again utilising a blend of exposed brick, warm wood and statement colouring, this open plan space is simply a joy. The kitchen itself comprises extensive storage and a large l’shaped central island with hob, ideal for informal dining.

Both bi-folding and traditional double doors bring the outside in as both the kitchen and reception areas lead out to a further undercover outdoor entertaining area.

Overlooking the gardens and set under a slatted pergola with pull down sides, there is an outdoor cooking area and centrally positioned wood burning stove allowing for year round usage.
Back inside the house and adjacent to the kitchen is a further games room. This informal reception features half paneled walls, a bespoke fully fitted bar with seating, a further roof lantern and doors again opening out onto the rear garden.

Positioned to the front of the house are two double bedrooms served by a remodeled and well-appointed “Jack & Jill” style shower room.

On the first floor the principal bedroom is part vaulted and features bi-folding doors opening out on the roof space above the kitchen. The bedroom area also gives access to a 200sqft dressing room and luxury en suite bath & shower room. There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor served by a family bathroom.

The house is positioned well within its generous plot approaching two thirds of an acre and set behind electronically operated gates and a substantial parking area and detached garage. The gardens themselves are beautifully landscaped with the outdoor reception and a clever sunken seating area with firepit both ideal for outside entertaining.

The gardens themselves are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and further seating areas located throughout the grounds. Located within the gardens are two substantial outbuildings currently used as a home gym and recording studio respectively.
