Description of Property
Ground floor
Upon entering this remarkable home, you are immediately impressed by the grandeur of the hallway, adorned with hardwood flooring, oak doors, and a statement staircase. The thoughtful design extends to a guest cloakroom for added convenience and a nearby storage cupboard.
To the right, a versatile study/snug provides a comfortable space that overlooks the front and side of the property, offering flexibility for work or cosy evenings in front of the TV, having not one but two drinks chillers.
Passing through double doors on the left, the drawing room unveils a spacious area filled with natural light from the bay window, and the central coal fireplace adds a touch of warmth and character to the room.
Accessible from the drawing room via double doors, the dining room awaits, with patio doors seamlessly connecting the indoor space to the covered patio in the newly turfed rear garden - a perfect setting for both formal and casual family dining.
To the rear, the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area is beautifully appointed, with bifold doors opening into the garden room and elegant French doors leading directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen is a true showpiece, where expansive premium granite worktops and a mirrored splashback reflect the natural light that floods the room. At its centre sits a multi-functional island, offering an elegant overhanging breakfast bar for casual dining, generous heavy-duty storage drawers, and a premium integrated undercounter drinks chiller.
Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with premium integrated Neff appliances, including a double oven, microwave oven and induction hob with an overhead extractor. A full-height integrated fridge and separate full-height freezer provide ample storage, while two integrated dishwashers offer effortless convenience for both everyday living and entertaining. Completing the space is a Quooker tap providing instant hot, cold and sparkling water, together with an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, combining contemporary luxury with exceptional functionality.
Flowing effortlessly from the culinary zone is a dedicated family lounge area. The space is anchored by a deep charcoal-grey feature wall, creating a cozy yet sophisticated zone for relaxation. Large-format, premium light-grey floor tiles run continuously through the space, unifying the cooking and living zones into one cohesive environment. The living space dramatically unfolds into a glass-roof extension. Crowned by an expansive architectural sky lantern, this sunroom floods the entire family zone with vertical natural light. High-specification bi-fold doors open entirely to eliminate the boundary between the internal lounge and the outdoor entertaining patio, offering an unparalleled indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Elegant, natural oak and glass double doors connect this pavilion back to the main reception hallway, completing a flawless, light-filled floor plan.
Continuing the seamless flow, the utility room, an extension of the kitchen, maintains the same quality cabinetry and includes a sink. Its practical design offers space for essential appliances like a washing machine and tumble dryer, with easy access to the side of the property.

Gardens and Grounds:
Quietly nestled within a highly exclusive, private cul-de-sac enclave, the property commands an immediate sense of arrival with its magnificent, double-fronted executive façade. Constructed from premium multi-blend red brickwork, the grand architecture is defined by striking double gables, intricate dental brick detailing, and stately twin chimneys. An expansive, high-quality block-paved driveway sweeps gracefully across the front of the property, providing generous off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leading down to a substantial detached double garage. Mirroring the main residence's handsome styling, the garage features an attractive timber-effect up-and-over door, matching brick dental detailing, and traditional exterior coach lighting, presenting incredible storage or workshop utility. The entire frontage is beautifully framed by neat lawns, manicured laurel borders, and mature, established specimen trees that enhance the home’s privacy and lush greenery. The main entrance approach leads directly to a sheltered, deep-recessed storm porch featuring a rich wood-clad ceiling and integrated downlighting, where a premium high-specification anthracite composite door serves as a secure, highly sophisticated threshold into this exceptional home.
Rear garden:
Seamlessly extending from the spectacular indoor living pavilion, the magnificent rear grounds have been brilliantly transformed into a multi-tiered, resort-style lifestyle sanctuary designed for lavish alfresco entertaining and private relaxation. Directly adjacent to the house sits a substantial block-paved veranda terrace, sheltered by a sleek architectural pergola with an integrated all-weather canopy. This exceptional space features overhead heating infrastructure and atmospheric festoon lighting, creating an enchanting evening venue for outdoor dining. From here, a perfectly manicured lawn is bordered by clean stone paths that lead to an elevated, wide-aspect upper sun deck. Tucked away into the corner for ultimate privacy is a premium, hard-shell hot tub and spa zone. The entire garden is enveloped by mature, dense evergreen conifer hedging and vibrant laurel borders, ensuring a completely un-overlooked, wrap-around sanctuary feel, complete with gated side access and a secondary patio area directly outside a substantial detached brick outbuilding.
