The exceptional fitted Neptune kitchen incorporates a central island with breakfast bar with quartz worktop, a good range of Shaker style hand-painted cabinetry with 'larder' cupboards and additional cupboards and drawers. Siemens appliances include a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, wine fridge. There is also a double bowl butler sink with 'Quooker' boiling water tap and a more recently fitted Smeg Range cooker with 6 gas rings and a wok burner. The current owners also had a new boiler fitted when they first moved into the house.

    To the left is a is well-proportioned double aspect sitting room with two sets of French doors to the rear and a central fireplace with brick hearth, bressumer beam and a log effect gas fired burner. The ceiling has attractive mellow exposed timbers with chamfered edges.

Beyond is a useful boot room with doors to both the front drive and into the annexe or work from home accommodation. The first of these rooms has double doors to the garden, a side entrance door incorporates a part vaulted kitchen area with double bowl butler sink, quartz worktops, a range of fitted cupboards and appliances include a fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Beyond is a potential bedroom or gym with en suite shower.

There are two further bedrooms with dormer windows and storage and a family bathroom with free standing roll topped bath with mixer taps and shower attachment and tiled flooring.

    The gardens are a delightful feature of the house. To the front is a wide shingle drive with considerable space for parking and a number of established trees.

This is such a wonderful, welcoming home, I love the fact that as soon as you enter the kitchen, there is a feeling of light and space – the real surprise is the annexe/work from home space tucked to one side allowing great versatility … this lovely home needs to be seen to be fully appreciated
