The home’s exterior showcases period herringbone brickwork, while the interior is enriched with marble accents, rich wood flooring, and elegant wood panelling, all contributing to its timeless appeal.

A charming brick porch leads into a welcoming reception area. To the left, the reception room, living room, and dining room enjoy views over the rear gardens. These interconnected spaces each have unique character, abundant natural light and ample proportions.

This inviting space is illuminated by two impressive skylights, with a crisp colour scheme, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Sleek white cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a spacious central island provide ample workspace, complete with a range of integrated appliances. A separate utility room connects seamlessly, and double doors lead from the kitchen into the reception area of the annex.

A further reception room, ideal as a playroom or office is located on the western side of the home. There is also integral access to the triple garage from here. The substantial annex, with its own entrance, offers a self-contained living space perfect for guests or multi-generational families. Spanning two floors, it includes three bedrooms (one with an en-suite), a living room, and an adjoining kitchen. While separate, it is fully connected to the main house, allowing for easy reintegration if required.

On the first floor, four main bedrooms are arranged along a wide, light-filled hallway that leads to a charming external terrace. The principal bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, while a contemporary family bathroom serves the other remaining rooms. Three additional bedrooms form part of the annex on this level, with the main bedroom having an ensuite bathroom and all offering picturesque garden views.

A lower-ground cellar with three storage zones adds further functionality, providing valuable additional space. The home’s elevated position ensures the rear gardens offer a private and serene retreat. Accessible via the living room and kitchen, a large terrace extends the indoor space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for alfresco dining. Glass-panelled railings with chrome framing provide an elegant touch, while stairways at each end lead down to the expansive lawns. Mature trees and lush greenery provide a natural sense of seclusion, and at the far end of the garden, a fully equipped gym with external water features offers an ideal space for at-home fitness and relaxation.
