Located at the end of a quiet and secluded cul-de-sac, this property was constructed in 2005 and has remained within the same ownership since this time. The property is arranged over three floors and offers versatile, family sized accommodation throughout. The first impression of this home is both impressive and inviting as the entrance hall is flooded with light from the floor to ceiling windows in this galleried space.

The kitchen has been fitted in solid oak cabinetry and granite worktops and incorporates a range cooker, Belfast sink as well as a further set of bifold doors to the south elevation. Completing the ground floor space is a downstairs cloakroom and a double garage which is currently utilised as a utility room as well as a storage space and offers potential for conversion (STPP) to create an additional ground floor room. The first floor provides four, spacious guest bedrooms with bedroom two benefitting from further exposed brickwork and an ensuite shower room, as well as the family bathroom. One of these bedrooms is currently utilised as a home office with incredible field views to the rear. The second floor has been converted by the current owners into an impressive master suite. This space incorporates a generous dressing room with ample, in-built storage, a generous double room with impressive field views and a four piece ensuite bathroom. The current owners have ensured that the property has been maintained to an excellent standard with UPVC windows fitted in 2017 and composite cladding replaced on the exterior of the building in 2022. The property benefits from off road parking to the front of the double garage which is accessed via the private, gravelled driveway. To the rear, the south-east facing garden has been professionally landscaped and features a large section of brushed concrete paving with fixed awning over which provides the perfect outdoor dining space, mature beds and borders as well as artificial grass. This property is also offered with an additional 1/2 acre plot (STS) to the side and rear of the property which has its own gated access. This additional plot was purchased by the current owners to protect the impressive field views to the rear of the property which can be enjoyed from all of the bedrooms to the rear of the property. Viewing of this immaculate and well-maintained family home is essential and can be organised by contacting our St Ives office.
