This lovely family home is immensely light throughout courtesy of its large windows, open-plan layout and East/West orientation, which all contribute to making this so appealing to those who value brightness, even on the dullest of days. The property has been thoroughly and thoughtful modernised producing a home of rare quality.

The entrance hall, with attractive wooden floors, is centrally placed with all principal ground floor rooms radiating off. At the heart of the house is the spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room with large sliding doors leading out to the garden. The modern, sleek kitchen is well-appointed with ample cupboard space and several integrated appliances. Alongside the kitchen/dining room lies a practical utility room with plenty of space and a side door out to the garden. To the front of the property is a bright, welcoming sitting room with wooden flooring and a wide window overlooking the front garden. The inner hallway is a useful storage area leading from the main entrance hall, whilst a study has also been created at the front – perfect for working from home and a WC completes the ground floor.

The first floor has four well-appointed bedrooms, three of which have fitted wardrobes, and maximise the available light with large windows. There are two stylish bathrooms to choose from, one of which has a shower cubicle and the other a bath.

Outside, the decent sized rear garden is attractively presented with a patio immediately at the rear of the house, while a shingle path lies alongside an area of lawn leading to a good-sized shed at the rear. To the front there is a generous driveway for ample off-road parking and a beautiful array of flowers and plants lies alongside.
