This architect‑designed, chain‑free detached house offers spacious family living across three floors with a generous 2,099 sq ft footprint. The home’s highlight is a full‑width 27ft open‑plan kitchen/dining space that flows into a bright southerly reception with bifold doors and a low‑maintenance garden — a practical entertaining layout for family life and weekend gatherings.
The top floor is occupied by a substantial 36ft principal bedroom suite that includes sleeping, dressing, bathing and a study area, while three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms sit on the intermediate floors. Practical features include underfloor heating to the ground floor, oak flooring, plentiful built‑in storage, a separate utility room and off‑street parking with gated side access.
Safety and connectivity features are built in: an integrated sprinkler system and Sky readiness have been installed. The large vertical form and bay glazing create light, versatile rooms suited to modern family living. The plot is described as huge/massive while exterior landscaping keeps maintenance low.
Buyers should note several material considerations. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect those working from home despite excellent mobile signal. The property sits in a medium flood‑risk area and the council tax is described as expensive. The wider local area indicators flag higher deprivation levels — factor these into neighbourhood suitability checks.
Overall, this is a sizeable, modern family home offering flexible accommodation and strong entertaining spaces. It will suit buyers seeking substantial principal-suite living and a low‑maintenance outdoor space, but those reliant on fast wired internet or seeking minimal flood risk should investigate further.
