The formal dining room enjoys natural light from both the side and rear, while a separate sitting room offers a refined retreat with a classic tiled hearth and elegant timber surround. At the heart of the home, the family dining kitchen is a true showpiece. Designed by Michael James, it features bespoke cabinetry, granite-topped island, Belfast sink, integrated appliances, and ample space for both a range cooker and American-style fridge freezer. An open-plan family dining area, complete with its own multi-fuel stove and garden-facing French doors, invites relaxed entertaining. Away from the main kitchen is a practical preparation area with additional cabinetry, integrated fridge and freezer, sink, and access to both the front of the property via a stable door and the internal garage. A guest cloakroom and utility area are discreetly tucked off the main hallway. Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying lovely open aspects that great the rear elevation. The principal suite boasts fitted wardrobes, dual-aspect windows, and a stylish en-suite shower room. A further shower room with modern fittings and a luxurious Villeroy & Boch bathroom, complete with Jacuzzi bath and vanity basin, serve the remaining bedrooms. At the far end of the landing, a few gentle steps descend to the fifth bedroom. A study/store room and additional storage cupboard complete the upper floor. Outside, electric gates open to a sweeping driveway with ample parking, leading to twin single garages, both with electric roller doors, lighting, and power. The grounds are nothing short of enchanting: expansive lawns, thoughtfully designed stone terraces and walkways, mature woodland borders, and bursts of seasonal colour create a tranquil setting ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and privacy. A dedicated plant room lies tucked discreetly beside the garages. Viewing essential to appreciate. Council Tax Band: G I Freehold I EPC: E
