Extending to approximately 2,745 sq ft and arranged over three floors, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced in recent years, including the addition of two second-floor bedrooms, creating versatile accommodation perfectly suited to modern family life. Rich hardwood flooring flows throughout much of the home, complementing the property's original character and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you enter.
A particularly striking architectural feature is the impressive triple-height aluminium window rising through to the second floor, flooding the interior with natural light and creating a wonderful sense of volume and space. Throughout the property, bespoke crafted aluminium windows with elegant oak surrounds further enhance the quality, individuality and contemporary feel of the accommodation.
The generous reception hall provides a grand introduction and leads to two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. The triple-aspect dining room is especially noteworthy, enjoying an abundance of natural light and attractive views over the surrounding gardens, creating a superb setting for family gatherings and entertaining guests throughout the year.
At the heart of the home lies a spacious kitchen/breakfast room extending to over 22ft in length, complemented by a walk-in pantry and adjoining utility/boiler room. The layout caters perfectly to day-to-day family living whilst offering exciting opportunities for future extension or the creation of larger open-plan living spaces.
The first floor comprises three excellent bedrooms, including a superb triple-aspect principal bedroom that enjoys wonderful natural light throughout the day, together with an en suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The recently extended second floor provides two additional double bedrooms and a shower room, offering ideal accommodation for growing families, guests, teenagers or those requiring dedicated home-working space.
Outside, the generous plot is undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. The established westerly-facing rear garden enjoys excellent privacy and sunshine throughout the afternoon and evening, creating a tranquil backdrop for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. To the front, the substantial frontage and driveway provide an impressive approach with ample off-street parking.
Further enhancing the appeal of the property is the benefit of previously approved planning permission for substantial enlargement and remodelling. The approved scheme included two-storey side extensions, a single-storey rear extension, alterations to the front elevation and roof alterations incorporating multiple dormer windows, demonstrating the considerable scope available for future enhancement, subject to any necessary renewals and consents. This provides incoming purchasers with a valuable opportunity to further maximise the potential of this already impressive family home.
