Description

An eco-friendly, well designed family house built in 2012 and significantly extended by the present owners in about 2015. It now boasts 3,288 sq ft of well-proportioned living and entertaining space.

The entrance hall leads on to a striking kitchen/garden room with its bi-fold doors set around a ‘floating’ corner leading directly onto the garden and terrace. Together with the three roof lights, the room is flooded with natural light. The well-designed kitchen boasts a large central island with an extensive range of hand built painted cupboards with Quartz and Silestone worktops, Rangemaster gas cooker, integrated dishwasher and microwave and a Franke boiling tap.

A garden-facing sitting room with glazed French doors and an ample utility room lead directly off the kitchen, as does the access to the double garage with remote controlled doors. From the garden room double doors open onto the good sized family room which also leads back to the entrance hall where a study, fitted with extensive cupboards, and also a downstairs cloakroom are located.

The principal bedroom is of particular note with its walk in, customised dressing room leading on to the bedroom with its high ceiling and views over the garden. The en suite bathroom is spacious and well appointed with a slipper bath, double wall hung basins, large shower and wall integrated TV. There are four further bedrooms, two with en suite shower/bathrooms and a family bathroom. All sanitaryware is contemporary and high quality. The property has underfloor heating throughout the downstairs. A heat recovery system recycles warm air and filters incoming air providing a real bonus for allergy or hay fever sufferers. Solar panels supplement the hot water. There are also Sonos ceiling speakers in the kitchen and sitting room and outside speakers to the terrace.
