GROUND FLOOR
The front door opens up to a tiled hallway with points for telephone and broadband services.
From the hallway a half-glazed door leads to the open-plan kitchen/breakfast, dining room and snug. A modern custom-painted oak-doored kitchen with under cabinet lighting. The kitchen has Italian granite counter tops throughout, a stainless steel 7 ring gas range cooker with two electric ovens and separate grill, an integrated extraction fan, an American style fridge freezer with ice and water filter. There is an integrated dishwasher, microwave and wine fridge.
The kitchen features a peninsular that seats four that also houses three cabinets and three large drawers for storage of cutlery and pans. All cupboards and drawers are soft-close. The kitchen is designed to provide excellent storage for those who are keen chefs. The floor is porcelain tiled throughout the open plan living space. A TV aerial point allows the cook to not lose-the-plot!
The dining area has room for a large dining table which is lit either with daylight from the roof lantern above or with dimmable LED downlighters, plus for intimate dining or party nights, coloured LED mood-lighting. Sitting here you’ll enjoy the garden and watching local wildlife. The corner-less bifold doors are a rarely-seen and cleverly engineered talking-point that, on warm summer days, extend your entertaining space onto the patio and into the garden.
The Snug which currently accommodates two sofas is where you’ll find yourself unwinding, reading or watching your favourite movies. The wall has hidden conduit so you won’t have ugly cables on show below your wall mounted TV! The room also has concealed surround-sound cinema wiring, should you desire a multi-speaker set-up.
From the snug there is access to the lounge through three-quarter-glazed double doors that fold right back to open up the space fully when entertaining.
An excellent space to relax in, play piano, watch TV or read. Engineered-oak flooring and double-glazed windows to the front of the house. The brick fireplace and beech mantle with cosy coal-effect gas fire. A separate door gives access to the hall where there is a modern downstairs WC with storage cupboard and a separate understairs cupboard for your coats and shoes.
The hall way gives access to the stairs leading to the first-floor landing where there is space for a press to store your bed linen, towels etc as well as an airing cupboard that houses the Megaflow pressurised hot-water system (no shower pumps to go wrong).
The utility room, accessed from the kitchen via a half-glazed door, has space for a washing-machine and separate tumble dryer. A worktop with hanging rail above and small cupboard completes the laundry area. Opposite is a built-in larder and storage for small kitchen appliances.

Look out of the windows over the garden and into the protected wildlife corridor where deer are sometimes spotted. Above is access to the main loft which is fully boarded.
From the main bedroom there is a dressing area that houses two large integrated wardrobes and gives access to the en-suite.
As you enter the en-suite, your eyes will be drawn to the stunning wall-mounted chrome taps servicing the double-ended one-piece bath - with shower screen - and wall-hung vanity basin.

The third double bedroom overlooks the garden. It has a large integrated wardrobe that provides good storage. Wooden flooring. A nice feature of this property is that bedrooms 2 and 3, are both of similar size; handy to avoid unfairness in bedroom allocation between siblings. The room has a TV aerial point.
At the front of the house at the end of the landing is the family bathroom.
The family bathroom features a wall-to-wall, flush-to-floor walk-in shower with a large overhead rose and hand-held shower head. The Swiss Aqua Technologies WC with Grohe concealed cistern complements the wall-hung basin unit with storage below. A large stainless-steel (not cheap chromed-steel) towel rail with summer electric heating option for drying towels. This bathroom is also fully porcelain-tiled.
Both bathrooms feature delayed start LED downlighter lighting, such that brief night-time visits will not start the fan, but for longer visits, extraction starts automatically (fully programable via Wi-Fi and also controllable via Alexa, if you are so inclined!)
