Offering an impressive and thoughtfully extended layout across three floors, the home provides exceptional space for both family living and entertaining. With seven generously sized bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and three elegant reception areas, this property perfectly blends character, comfort, and modern convenience.
From the moment you arrive, the homes immense curb appeal is undeniable. The striking red brick fa ade sets the tone for the refined interiors within. Entry is via an enclosed storm porch, which leads into a large reception hall which should be a reception room in its own right. A return staircase ascends to the first floor, with storage beneath, while doors seamlessly connect to the principal ground floor rooms.
At the front of the property, the formal sitting room is bathed in natural light from a grand bay window and is anchored by an elegant fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space. To the rear, a second reception room offers flexibility as a formal dining area or an additional lounge with French doors opening onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden.
The heart of the home is the extended kitchen, designed with both style and practicality in mind. This sociable space features a well appointed kitchen with an array of base and wall cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, a central island and provisions for appliances. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, as well as a relaxed seating area beneath a striking vaulted ceiling. A large rear aspect window frames views of the garden, while doors provide direct access to outdoor entertaining spaces. A modern multi fuel stove adds warmth and character, making this an inviting hub of the home. An adjoining utility room and cloakroom toilet completes the ground floor.
On the first floor, five of the seven principal bedrooms offer well proportioned accommodation, all serviced by a stylish family bathroom. The second floor has been transformed into a brilliant loft conversion, maximising space and ceiling height. This level is configured into two further spacious bedrooms, with the largest benefiting from dual aspect windows and en suite bathroom facilities.
Externally, the home is framed by a charming walled garden, which provides ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
