Beautifully crafted by renowned local developers CG Fry & Son, this attractive stone-fronted home combines timeless architecture with thoughtfully designed contemporary living. Inside, beautifully proportioned, light-filled interiors unfold across two floors, where quality finishes and an exceptional KITCHEN/DINING ROOM create a home perfectly suited to modern family life.
Stepping inside, the welcoming ENTRANCE HALL immediately sets the tone, with a sense of space and practicality that continues throughout the home. To one side, the SITTING ROOM offers an inviting retreat, where dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light and French doors open seamlessly onto the garden. A contemporary fireplace creates an elegant focal point, making this a wonderfully cosy room to enjoy throughout the seasons.
Across the hall, the impressive KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Designed with modern living in mind, it offers an abundance of space for cooking, dining and gathering together with family and friends. Contemporary shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by AEG double ovens, a five-ring gas hob and generous worktops, while windows overlooking the garden ensure the room remains wonderfully bright throughout the day. Whether hosting dinner parties, helping with homework around the table or enjoying a relaxed Sunday breakfast, this is a space that effortlessly adapts to every occasion.
Adjoining the kitchen, the UTILITY ROOM provides excellent additional storage, laundry facilities and direct access to the garden, keeping the practicalities of daily life neatly tucked away from the main living space. A convenient CLOAKROOM completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The generously proportioned PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys windows to two aspects, creating a wonderfully light and airy retreat, complete with a stylish EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM. Two further bedrooms provide comfortable and versatile accommodation for family, visiting guests or those working from home, all served by a well-appointed FAMILY BATHROOM.
Designed with modern family life at its heart, the layout strikes an excellent balance between sociable open-plan living and quieter spaces to retreat. Whether entertaining in the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, enjoying cosy evenings beside the fireplace in the SITTING ROOM, or opening the French doors on a summer afternoon as family and friends spill effortlessly between the house and garden, every space has been thoughtfully designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Beautifully presented throughout, this is a home that offers comfort, practicality and an enviable lifestyle from the moment you arrive.
Outside
With its attractive stone frontage, slate-style roof and charming planted front garden, this beautifully presented home creates a welcoming first impression.
To the rear, the fully enclosed garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide an outdoor space that is both attractive and easy to maintain. A generous paved terrace offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer entertaining or simply unwinding with a morning coffee, while the lawn is bordered by established shrubs and planting, bringing colour, seasonal interest and a welcome sense of privacy. Designed to complement modern family life, it is a wonderful space in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the changing seasons.
A detached SINGLE GARAGE, positioned within a nearby block, is complemented by an allocated parking space, providing excellent practicality for everyday living.
A natural children's play area is planned for the development and, once completed, will further enhance the estate's attractive woodland walks and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
