Detached House

The front garden is perfectly kept with a soft lawn, established shrub borders, and a focal blossom tree that offers gentle shade and instant charm. A block-paved driveway offers parking for two vehicles in front of a double garage.
Step through the front door and into a generous porch, ideal for kicking off muddy shoes or shaking off a rainy day. There’s space for coat storage in the entry way, a handy downstairs WC is tucked under the stairs, and the first impression is one of calm and ease.
The lounge sits just off the hallway and is filled with natural light, thanks to the large bay window that frames the front garden. Oak wooden flooring adds sophistication underfoot, complementing the neutral tones on the walls. A serene atmosphere fills this space, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee and winding down in the evening.
Flowing through into the kitchen, you’ll find ceramic tiling underfoot, a granite worktop, and cabinetry that wraps around in a practical L-shape. The layout lends itself to entertaining, with an integrated dishwasher and washing machine, a NEFF induction hob and extractor fan, and a NEFF oven and grill, tucked neatly behind a breakfast bar that doubles as a casual coffee stop or evening wine perch.
There’s also space here for bar seating, and at the far end of the room, patio doors open out to the raised deck, extending the living space outdoors in warmer months.
Beyond the kitchen lies the extended dining area. With a vaulted ceiling, Velux window, and a contemporary tiled feature wall housing a gas fire, this space feels welcoming. The apex window looks out across the mature rear garden and invites daylight to spill across the room all day long.
Patio doors open onto the deck, creating a seamless transition for entertaining or simply enjoying weekend breakfasts alfresco.
From the dining room, you also gain access to the double garage, a versatile addition to the home. With space for additional utilities such as a tumble dryer and fridge freezer, and still enough room for a car or substantial storage, this could easily become a home gym, music studio, or workshop, the possibilities are endless.
A bespoke staircase with open treads and stylish minimalistic wire balustrade leads to the first floor. A feature wallpaper wraps up the wall, setting a warm, textural backdrop as you ascend. All internal doors on this level are partially glazed with privacy glass, another subtle detail that enhances the flow of light throughout.
At the top of the stairs, turn right into the principal bedroom. This generous suite easily accommodates a super king bed, and its dual aspect windows offer views across treetops and verdant scenes, giving a feeling of peaceful elevation. A tiered area in the bedroom adds a touch of luxury, with cream carpet underfoot, feature spotlights, and a dark statement wall to anchor the space.
Bedroom three is another comfortable double overlooking the rear garden. It’s currently styled with light décor and has plenty of space for wardrobes and drawers, with a large window that floods the room with light.
Bedroom two faces the front and is used as a hobby room at present, with space for a Peloton, sewing area and more. Grey carpet underfoot and clean vibrant yellow paint on the walls create a cheerful and energising atmosphere.
The fourth bedroom is currently set up as a home office but would make an ideal nursery or single bedroom. With a generous window, storage above the stairs, and loft access, it’s a practical and versatile space.
The four-piece family bathroom sits adjacent and feels like a spa retreat. Fully tiled in neutral tones, featuring a handy built-in shelf above the inset bath, a rainfall shower with a feature striped tile backdrop, and a floating vanity unit. A towel radiator, backlit mirror, and thoughtfully placed lighting complete the calming aesthetic.
The garden is where this home truly excels. With a series of well-thought-out spaces, it feels like an oasis of calm and colour. Raised decking leads down to a porcelain tiled patio, ideal for al fresco dining. There are two further seating zones, including a lower patio surrounded by lush planting, and a second area under festoon lighting for evening gatherings.
Every part of this outdoor space has been carefully planted and lovingly maintained. From formal topiary and shrubs to vibrant summer blooms, it’s as beautiful to look at as it is to spend time in.
Whether you’re entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or simply enjoying the view from the kitchen window—this garden brings joy.
