The layout provides an excellent sense of flow, with formal and informal living spaces well separated, while retaining a strong connection between the main family areas and the garden.

To the front of the house is an elegant sitting room, enjoying excellent proportions and an abundance of natural light. This provides a superb formal reception room, ideal for more intimate entertaining or as a peaceful retreat away from the principal family space. Also positioned off the hall is a generous office or family room, offering valuable flexibility and well suited to use as a children’s playroom, snug or occasional guest bedroom, particularly for guests or those seeking an element of single-level living.

The heart of the house is the impressive kitchen/living/dining room positioned to the rear. Extending to over 40 feet in length, this outstanding open-plan space has been designed for modern family living and entertaining, with clearly defined areas for cooking, dining and relaxing. The scale of the room allows for both day-to-day family use and larger social occasions, while its direct connection to the rear terrace and garden creates an attractive relationship between the internal accommodation and outside space. A useful utility room is positioned off the kitchen, providing further storage and practical side access.

A separate study adjoins the main kitchen/living/dining room, creating an ideal additional home office or quiet sitting area. The ground floor further benefits from useful storage, a plant room and internal access to the integral garage, adding to the overall practicality of the house.

The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom is especially impressive, positioned to the front of the house and providing a substantial suite with excellent bedroom space, fitted storage and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. The further bedrooms are all well-proportioned, with three enjoying en suite shower rooms, making the arrangement particularly well suited to family life, guests, older children or multi-generational living.

A family bathroom serves the remaining bedroom and is finished to a high standard, complementing the excellent bathroom provision throughout the first floor. The overall layout provides a rare degree of flexibility, with the bedroom accommodation offering both scale and privacy.
