The kitchen includes a mix of white and light grey units, a Corian work surface with an inset sink and drainer, and a range of neff appliances, including three ovens (one of which is a combination microwave), an induction hob, and a dishwasher.

A utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and separate tumble dryer, a neff freezer, and a side door completes the ground floor.
An oak staircase with a large storage cupboard beneath leads to the first-floor landing. Four of the five bedrooms are located on this floor, three of which feature luxurious en-suite shower rooms with rainfall showerheads and high-quality sanitary ware, including suspended toilets with concealed flushes, double shower cubicles, and wall-hung vanity wash hand basins.

The en-suite includes a luxurious walk-in shower cubicle with a rainfall head, a large vanity wash hand basin, and a suspended WC. Off the en-suite, a walk-in dressing room with automatic lighting offers ample storage space.

The front is enclosed by a picket-style fence and prewired for an electric gate and intercom, should the new owners wish to install them. The resin-bonded driveway is bordered with granite bricks, and multiple CCTV cameras provide extensive coverage of the front of the property.
The garage features a 'slide around the corner' style door, allowing easy access for larger vehicles. Inside, the garage is equipped with underfloor heating and spotlights, making it ideal for classic and luxury vehicles. An additional electric roller door provides vehicular access to the rear garden.
The plot extends to nearly 0.5 of an acre with the rear garden being accessed through the garage or a separate side gate.

The main garden area begins with a raised patio extending from the kitchen, thoughtfully enclosed with sleeper beds and trellising. It includes an extensive outdoor kitchen with built-in mains gas BBQ, a fridge, and a sink with hot and cold taps. Steps lead down to the lawn, which is dotted with mature trees.
