bathrooms (including two en-suites), a contemporary breakfasting kitchen, and landscaped wraparound gardens, in addition to extensive parking and spectacular panoramic views across open farmland. Furthermore, the home enjoys a quiet and secluded plot with an elevated position, just a stone’s throw from a wealth of countryside walks.

It has a stunning approach through the gated gardens, with the front door opening to a vestibule and to a hall, which immediately sets an impeccable scene with its plush carpeting and crisp décor. The living room is at the end of the hall, offering a generous footprint for relaxing and socialising. It accommodates a great selection of comfortable lounge furniture and is brightly lit by dual-aspect glazing, including French doors to the garden. Here, the neutral décor enhances an airy ambience, whilst exposed ceiling beams add to the character of the room.

wood flooring and a bespoke open fireplace.

This enticing space, fitted with a breakfast bar for socialising whilst cooking, is completed by a large six-ring Rangemaster Elan stove and

integrated appliances, providing a streamlined finish. Next door is a utility room with additional storage, supplementing the kitchen with a quiet place for laundry. A gleaming family bathroom, refurbished in 2018, serves this level with a four-piece suite, including a bathtub and a separate power shower.
