The Property This impressive detached home occupies a generous plot with a substantial in-and-out driveway, ample parking for multiple vehicles and an attractive front garden. The original garage has been cleverly reconfigured, retaining useful front storage while transforming the rear into a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/living space—significantly enhancing the overall footprint and lifestyle appeal of the home.

Ground Floor Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway. Immediately to the right is a well-proportioned lounge featuring an attractive fireplace, abundant natural light and sliding glass doors opening directly onto the private, landscaped rear garden—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Off the hallway is a versatile study, currently used as a home office but equally suited as a generous fifth bedroom. A convenient downstairs WC is also located on this level.

The true heart of the home lies in the extended open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. Thoughtfully redesigned and tastefully finished, this expansive space provides extensive storage, plentiful worktop space and integrated appliances. A rear door leads directly to the garden, while an additional internal door connects to the remaining front garage storage area. A further door from the kitchen area opens into a practical utility room, enhancing the functionality of this impressive family space.

This open-plan design has dramatically improved the flow of the property, creating a sociable and contemporary layout ideal for modern family living.

The scale and versatility of this room truly set the property apart.

Outside Space The rear garden is level, highly usable and enjoys sun throughout the day into the evening—ideal for entertaining, relaxing or family activities. Established greenery provides a pleasant outlook, while side access leads conveniently back to the front driveway. The garden offers excellent potential for further landscaping or personalisation depending on the new owner's vision.

Future Potential Importantly, the current owners have secured planning permission for a further loft extension (plans available within the listing photographs). This provides outstanding future-proofing and scope for additional accommodation, subject to implementation by the new owner.
