GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged around a central entrance hall and offers a superb balance of living and entertaining spaces. It features a spacious breakfast kitchen, four reception rooms, a study, utility room, and a downstairs cloakroom.
At the heart of the home, the breakfast kitchen is positioned between two reception rooms and is beautifully appointed with a large central island incorporating a breakfast bar, a comprehensive range of fitted units, and ample space for a range-style cooker, freestanding fridge freezer, and dishwasher. An archway at the front leads into a cosy snug, while another at the rear opens into a bright and airy living/dining room with two sets of bifold doors, seamlessly connecting the interior with the garden.
The utility room, accessed from the kitchen, offers additional storage, space for white goods, and a door leading out to the side of the property. From the kitchen, a further door leads into the formal dining room, which enjoys direct access to the rear patio via French doors. Adjacent is the main living room—an elegant and generously proportioned space featuring a gas fire and another set of French doors opening to the patio. Completing the ground floor is a versatile study, ideal for home working.
FIRST FLOOR
The first floor accommodates four double bedrooms, a dressing room/single bedroom, and three bath/shower rooms. The two principal bedrooms both benefit from en-suite shower rooms and built-in storage, while the remaining two doubles also feature fitted storage and share a well-appointed family bathroom. The bathroom includes a shower bath, wash hand basin, low flush WC, and heated towel rail.
OUTSIDE
Sycamore House occupies a generous south-facing plot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. To the front, a large block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to the double garage.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, enhanced by mature planting that provides year-round interest. A spacious patio wraps around the back of the property and includes a covered outdoor kitchen—perfect for entertaining—along with steps leading up to a summer house/bar equipped with electricity.
