Why buy this home?

Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this imposing detached family home enjoys a prime corner plot. The property has real curb appeal, with ample driveway parking for up to three vehicles and a large detached double garage set neatly to the side.

As you step inside, you’re greeted by a generously proportioned entrance hall, the high ceilings help the spacious and light feel. The tiled flooring adds a practical touch, while the sense of space creates an inviting first impression—ideal for welcoming guests with ease.

To the left, the spacious sitting room offers a wonderful dual aspect, with a large front-facing window and French doors at the rear that open directly onto the patio—perfect for blending indoor and outdoor living. The generous proportions easily accommodate a large furniture suite, making it an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.

Across the hall, the spacious dining room enjoys an abundance of natural light thanks to a beautiful walk-in bay window and an additional side window. This bright and elegant space easily accommodates an 8–10 seater dining table—perfect for hosting family gatherings or entertaining friends in comfort.

Towards the rear of the house you’ll find a generous separate study—currently used as a home office, but offering real versatility. Whether you need a dedicated workspace, a quiet reading room, or a children’s playroom, this flexible space can easily adapt to suit your lifestyle.

The kitchen/family room is a fantastic, sociable space—thoughtfully designed to bring everyone together. There's ample room for a relaxed seating area to one side, ideal for keeping an eye on the children or catching up with family while you prepare meals. A large central island with a breakfast bar offers the perfect spot for quick bites or morning coffee, while generous worktop space and plenty of cupboard storage ensure the kitchen remains both practical and clutter-free. Natural light pours in through a side window and French doors, which open directly onto the rear garden—making this a bright and welcoming hub of the home.

The rear garden is a generous size, benefiting from the unique position of the plot and the placement of the detached double garage to the side. This clever layout allows for a wide garden that extends behind the garage, making the most of the available space. A real bonus is the high level of privacy—with very few neighbouring windows overlooking the garden, it feels wonderfully secluded and peaceful.

A side door provides convenient access into the detached double garage. Currently, half of the space has been converted into a generous games room—ideal for giving noisy teenagers their own retreat, or easily adapted into a home bar, workshop, or hobby space to suit your needs.

Up on the first floor, you'll find four exceptionally spacious double bedrooms—a real testament to the thoughtful layout and quality of the build. Bedrooms three and four both feature built-in wardrobes, offering practical storage without compromising space. Bedroom two is particularly impressive, comparable in size to many master suites, and benefits from a bright, well-appointed en suite. To the rear of the home, the principal bedroom is a true retreat—generously proportioned, complete with built-in wardrobes and a sleek, modern en suite for added luxury.
