Accommodation
To the front is an attractive paved approach, with steps leading to the property and established planted borders adding colour and interest. The homes have a great feeling of light and space, with an open aspect towards the attractive central area of the development.
A composite entrance door opens into a bright and welcoming hallway. Neutral white decoration and carpeting create a clean, contemporary first impression, with the carpet continuing up the staircase to the first floor.
Leading from the hallway is a useful ground-floor WC, fitted with a concealed-cistern toilet and contemporary wash basin with tiled splashback. Recessed ceiling spotlights and attractive wood-effect flooring complete the modern finish.
The sitting room is a wonderfully proportioned space, with its generous ceiling height adding considerably to the feeling of openness. A large front-facing window brings in plenty of natural light and is fitted with stylish plantation shutters, providing both privacy and excellent control over light levels.
There is ample room for a choice of sofas and additional furniture, while the proportions also allow space for a home-working area without compromising the main living space. This is a comfortable and versatile room equally well suited to relaxing or spending time together.
Beneath the stairs is an extremely useful storage cupboard, partly fitted with shelving and providing space for household items. The property's broadband equipment and electrical consumer unit are also conveniently housed here.
At the rear is the spacious kitchen diner, which provides an excellent everyday living and entertaining space.
The kitchen itself is fitted with a good range of contemporary high-gloss grey wall and base units, complemented by grey stone-effect work surfaces. There is a one-and-a-half bowl stainless-steel sink, four-burner gas hob with oven beneath, integrated fridge freezer and space and plumbing for a washing machine or washer dryer. The boiler is also located within the kitchen.
The room opens into a generous dining area, comfortably accommodating a substantial table and chairs with room for additional freestanding storage or occasional kitchen furniture. A window and glazed patio doors ensure the whole space receives excellent natural light, with the doors providing direct access into the rear garden.
First Floor
The carpeted staircase rises to an L-shaped landing, where a further storage cupboard provides useful space for items such as a vacuum cleaner and household linen.
The principal bedroom, positioned at the front, is a particularly good-sized room with ample space for a king-size bed and associated furniture. Two windows, both fitted with plantation shutters, create a lovely bright feel.
The shape of the room incorporates a useful recessed area ideally suited to fitted wardrobes. The current owner uses freestanding wardrobes while still retaining excellent circulation space around the room.
Bedroom two is another well-proportioned bedroom, currently accommodating a double bed. A rear-facing double-glazed window with plantation shutters provides natural light and a pleasant outlook.
Bedroom three is a single bedroom, also positioned to the rear. The current owner has opened this room into the adjoining bedroom to create a walk-in wardrobe/dressing area; however, it is understood that the dividing wall could be reinstated to return the accommodation to its original three-bedroom configuration. The room has its own rear-facing window with plantation shutters.
The family bathroom is smartly finished in a clean, contemporary style. There is a concealed-cistern WC and modern wash basin with vanity storage beneath, together with a bath featuring a shower above with both conventional and rainfall-style shower heads behind a glazed screen.
Attractive textured grey tiling surrounds the bath and shower area, while complementary wood-effect flooring continues the contemporary finish seen elsewhere in the home.
Outside
To the rear, the kitchen diner opens directly onto the garden through glazed patio doors, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to connect particularly well during the warmer months.
The property's position on the edge of the development combines the convenience of a modern home with excellent access into the heart of the village.
