About this home

This remarkable home has been thoughtfully transformed by the current owners from a detached bungalow into an impressive and spacious five-bedroom family home. Upon entering, you are greeted by a particularly striking entrance hall, where a series of Velux roof windows allow natural light to flood the space. The frameless glass staircase and contemporary detailing further enhance the style and provide an impressive introduction to the home. Leading off the entrance hall are two well-proportioned double bedrooms positioned to the front of the property, together with an outstanding open-plan kitchen and living area. Designed by the owner, this superb space enjoys an abundance of natural light, with bi-folding doors opening directly onto the extensive rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. The ground floor is further complemented by a dedicated home office, shower room and a separate utility room.

The first floor continues to impress, offering three further double bedrooms and an additional family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly striking feature of the home, enjoying an impressive architectural design with internal feature windows overlooking the lounge below, creating a wonderful sense of space and connection between the floors. A Juliet balcony provides attractive views across the extensive rear garden, while a beautifully appointed ensuite completes this exceptional suite. Externally, the property boasts a substantial rear garden extending to approximately 230 ft, offering an exceptional amount of outdoor space for families, entertaining and relaxation. Sliding gates to the rear, allowing vehicular access. To the front, the home has resin surface.
