The front door opens from beneath a sheltering portico to the magnificent entrance hall. The full height foyer is filled with light and sets the tone for the style and quality to be found throughout. Gleaming tiled flooring wraps around the central staircase and leads to the ground floor accommodation and a useful cloakroom/WC with a heated chrome towel rail. The sitting room sits to one side with a large picture window overlooking the front gardens and an eye-catching contemporary fireplace. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with neutral colour palettes and subtle lighting. Double doors open to an office/study which is ideal for keeping home life and work separate. The office/study has French doors that sweep open to the rear gardens.

The dining room is positioned across the hall from the sitting room and provides more further formal entertaining space.

Graceful contemporary cabinetry houses discreet integrated appliances and a central island features a filtered Bora Induction Hob.

A glazed door leads through to the delightful orangery with an atrium roof bringing an abundance of light. Bi-folding glazed doors open to the patio creating indoor/outdoor living space. The orangery is currently configured as a huge games room complete with bar area to one corner.

There are three double bedrooms arranged across the first floor, each with en-suite facilities. The principal suite incorporates a vast bedroom with vaulted ceiling that soars overhead to further develop the sense of space. The bedroom flows into a large dressing room with fitted storage and then onwards to the spectacular en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is extravagant yet beautifully tasteful, offering a freestanding bath, walk-through shower/wet area, his & hers wash hand basins set in a vanity unit, WC and heated chrome towel rail. Wall and floor tiling glows in natural light from full-height glazing and underfloor heating brings even greater luxury.
