From the moment you arrive, the quality and attention to detail are immediately apparent. The property enjoys an elevated position overlooking the immaculate communal gardens, creating a wonderfully attractive outlook and an exceptional sense of space.
The heart and soul of this remarkable home occupies the entire first floor, where an outstanding open-plan living space has been designed for both everyday family life and stylish entertaining. The bespoke shaker-style kitchen is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring premium integrated appliances, luxurious granite worktops and a substantial central breakfast island that naturally becomes the focal point of the room. French doors open onto a spectacular full-width rear balcony, providing the perfect setting for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine overlooking the private rear garden.
Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen is an elegant lounge and dining area, beautifully presented with tasteful décor and centred around a striking feature fireplace. A second set of doors opens onto an impressive full-width front balcony, enjoying uninterrupted views across the beautifully landscaped communal gardens and allowing natural light to flood the entire floor throughout the day.
The accommodation continues onto the second floor, where two superb double bedroom suites offer luxurious private retreats. Both benefit from beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms, whilst the magnificent principal suite is further enhanced by an elegant dressing room, creating a true sanctuary within the home.
The third floor provides three further generous double bedrooms alongside a stylish family bathroom, offering exceptional flexibility for growing families, guests or additional home working space.
Connecting each level is a stunning winding staircase, complemented by tall feature windows that fill the central landings with natural light. With windows to both the front and rear elevations, every floor enjoys an abundance of sunlight, creating a wonderfully bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the home.
The ground floor is equally impressive, offering a generous double garage, a practical utility room with direct access to the rear garden, and a versatile snug or home office. With double doors opening directly onto the garden, this flexible space is perfectly suited as a family room, cinema room, gym or dedicated workspace.
Stepping outside, the property continues to impress with a beautifully landscaped, private rear garden that has been meticulously maintained to create a peaceful outdoor sanctuary. Offering an excellent degree of privacy, it provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply unwinding in tranquil surroundings. The garden is also a wonderfully secure space, making it ideal for children and pets to enjoy safely, whilst complementing the exceptional standard of accommodation found throughout the home.
