OPEN HOME: Sun, 4 Oct 12:15pm - 12:45pm

Some homes simply make life feel easier. They have the space when you need it, the light where you want it, and a layout that seems to make perfect sense from the moment you walk through the door. This is one of those homes. Built from Hebel in the 2000s, double glazed throughout and thoughtfully designed for modern family living. It combines generous proportions, a lovely sense of connection between the living spaces and an established setting that feels private, peaceful and wonderfully settled.

Inside, the proportions are immediately impressive. The main bedroom is particularly generous and features a walk in wardrobe, ensuite and French doors opening directly to the patio. The remaining bedrooms are all well proportioned, each with double wardrobes. At the heart of the home, the open plan kitchen, dining and living area creates an inviting space for everyday life, complemented by a separate living room that opens beautifully to the outdoors through bi folding doors. The kitchen is stylish yet highly functional, centered around an island breakfast bar that naturally becomes the gathering point of the home. The home has been further enhanced with a log burner, heat pump and heat transfer system, while new carpets, fresh interior paint, new window treatments, a new oven and hob, heated towel rails and a renovated laundry add to the sense that this home has been thoughtfully updated and well cared for.

Outside, the appeal continues. The living areas open onto a generous patio and a lush, established garden where privacy and tranquillity come naturally. Fully fenced and beautifully settled, the property enjoys a particularly peaceful position with no immediate neighbours behind, giving the outdoor spaces a lovely sense of openness. There is a double internal access garage with the modernised laundry cleverly incorporated, while the generous front garden offers an opportunity for those needing additional vehicle space. With a little planning and some considered landscaping, the existing frontage could be adapted to create a very practical parking arrangement without compromising the home's street appeal.

There is a lovely balance here between practicality and personality. A home that has been upgraded where it matters, designed with everyday living in mind and surrounded by established outdoor spaces that invite you to slow down and enjoy them. Whether it is family life, entertaining friends, working from home or simply having room to breathe, this is a property that quietly delivers on all fronts. Homes with this combination of space, privacy and thoughtful design do not come along every day, and this one is certainly worth seeing for yourself.
