The Property

Five bedrooms, generous living space and a private garden with its own powered summer house make this extended detached property a home designed around family life.

A bright conservatory welcomes you at the front, providing a flexible extra room for quiet mornings, children’s play or simply sitting back with a coffee. From here, patio doors open into the spacious lounge, where a sandstone fireplace and coal-effect gas fire create a natural focal point. This is a comfortable room for relaxed evenings together, with double doors continuing through to the dining area.

The extended kitchen sits at the heart of the home. Crafted cabinetry is paired with granite work surfaces, while a central island and breakfast bar create a sociable place for family meals, homework and conversation. A Rangemaster cooker, integrated microwave and space for further appliances make the kitchen practical as well as inviting. The adjoining dining area opens directly onto the garden, allowing everyday life and summer entertaining to flow easily outdoors. A ground-floor cloakroom completes this level.

Upstairs are five bedrooms, including three comfortable doubles with built-in wardrobes. The two remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for younger children, guests or home working. The family bathroom features a Jacuzzi bath with a thermostatic shower, vanity storage and underfloor heating.

Outside, the front driveway provides parking for up to three vehicles alongside an integral garage. The enclosed rear garden feels private and established, with lawn, mature planting and fruit trees. At the far end, the insulated summer house has power and lighting, creating an excellent home office, gym, studio or retreat. Offered with no onward chain, this is a substantial family home with the space to adapt as life changes. Full listing information
