Welcome Home
Enter through the convenient porch and step into the warm and inviting hallway.
Underfoot, a grey wood effect laminate floor creates a striking contrast with the stylish pebble and white wall finishes. A practical downstairs WC is neatly tucked away beneath the stairs.
To the left, step into the modern dining room, where a large window floods the room with natural light, creating an airy and spacious atmosphere. The light oak solid wood flooring adds a touch of warmth, while the open fireplace serves as a captivating focal point.
Modern pendant lighting enhances the brightness of the space, while white-painted picture rails and silvery damask wallpaper on the walls add a touch of elegance.
Next to the dining room, the main lounge provides a wonderful space for entertaining. Gather around the cosy, modern gas fireplace with family and friends, and on a summer day, open the UPVC French doors to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.
The fireplace surround, painted in a warm red hue, beautifully complements the heritage tartan wallpaper flanking the chimney breast, creating a cohesive and stylish look. The cream carpet underfoot adds a soft, comfortable finish to this inviting room.
Next, explore the extended kitchen, which features Beech 'Shaker-style' cabinets that offer ample storage space for all your pots and pans. The cabinets are topped with a contrasting dark worktop that includes a breakfast bar on one side, with seating for two. Below the breakfast bar is a wine rack, and there is space for a glass wine cooler in the units on the opposite side. The kitchen is equipped with a double oven and a 4-ring ceramic hob, while a one-and-a-half sink with a drainer is conveniently positioned by the bay window, offering a pleasant view of the rear garden. There is also room for a freestanding fridge/freezer, along with plumbing for a dishwasher.
The space is brightened by roof lights, recessed spotlights, and a pendant fitting. The décor features white walls with a slate-effect accent wall, complemented by grey karndean tile-effect flooring. UPVC French doors open out to the garden.
Off the kitchen, there is a handy utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as access to the garage. Additionally, there is a study, perfect for those who work from home.
Bedroom Bliss
Returning to the hallway, ascend the carpeted staircase to the first floor, where you will find three bedrooms.
At the front of the house is the spacious main bedroom with an ensuite. Whitewashed walls are paired with a vibrant palm-patterned feature wall behind the bed, creating a serene atmosphere in this double bedroom. A large bay window allows natural light to fill the room.
The room is equipped with fitted cashmere gloss wardrobes, a matching dressing table, and drawers, offering ample storage space. One of the wardrobe doors features a built-in mirror, and there is a wall-mounted TV point above the dressing table.
Step into the ensuite, which includes a WC, a pedestal wash basin, and a single shower enclosure with a glazed surround. The space is adorned with a mix of white tiles and marble-effect panels.
Overlooking the rear garden are bedrooms two and three, both tastefully decorated in neutral tones to create a relaxing and versatile space. Bedroom two features sleek white fitted wardrobes and drawers along one wall, providing plenty of storage for clothing and personal items while maintaining a clean and uncluttered aesthetic.
Bedroom three, on the other hand, is fitted with elegant black wardrobes and drawers, offering a striking contrast.
These rooms are perfect for children, guests, or as multifunctional spaces such as a home office or hobby room.
The bedrooms are served by a three-piece bathroom featuring a WC, a wash hand basin, and a corner bath with a showerhead attachment. The walls are adorned with white tiles, accented by a decorative grey and turquoise border that complements the floor tiles.
Step Outside
At the back of the property, you will find a spacious rear garden, ideal for families, children, and pets to enjoy. This generous outdoor area is fully enclosed with timber fence panels, providing both privacy and security, making it a safe haven for all.
Adjacent to the house is a paved patio area, perfect for hosting barbecues, outdoor dining, or relaxing with friends and family. The patio offers ample space for garden furniture and loungers, making it a great spot for entertaining or simply soaking up the sun.
Stone steps gracefully descend from the patio to an artificial lawn, bordered by built-in stone wall sections that elegantly divide the garden. These sections are accented with flourishing plant beds, adding colour and vibrancy to the space throughout the seasons. A charming timber arbour, complete with built-in bench seating, is nestled among the greenery, providing a peaceful retreat where you can relax, read a book, or enjoy the serene surroundings. This beautifully landscaped garden offers a mix of functional areas and tranquil nooks, creating the perfect outdoor sanctuary.
