The composite front door, beneath an attractive portico, opens into an internal hallway; the wow factor starts here! Stairs, with beneficial storage beneath, ascend to the first floor and various doors lead off. The Amtico flooring which extends throughout most of the ground floor creates a stylish look and a seamless transition between the different spaces. The visitor’s WC is also conveniently placed under the stairs and negates the need to continually frequent the upstairs facilities. The suite comprises a Grohe concealed-cistern toilet and a wall-hung hand wash basin with a mirror above. The space is finished with attractive cream-white tiling, with a textured tile forming the feature wall.

Suffused in natural light courtesy of a large bay window overlooking the front of the property, the lounge, finished with a sumptuous carpet, is a wonderfully inviting room in which to spend time with family and friends. A large Optimyst feature fireplace forms an attractive focal point enticing you to sit before it during the cooler months, and the addition of an impressive laser-cut tessellated full wall mirror captures the sunlight in an exquisite way enhancing the sense of space beautifully.

The modern kitchen-diner is spacious and appeals to modern living. There are plenty of wall and base units with a white high gloss handless door complemented by a grey Silestone work surface with a matching upstand and a glass splashback illuminated by the natural light beautifully and enhanced further by the under-unit lighting. In terms of fitted equipment, there is a bowl and a half stainless steel sink set into the work surface with a drainer cut into the side, a fridge-freezer, a microwave, a grill, an under bench oven, an AEG five burner gas hob beneath a stainless steel chimney-style extractor fan, a dishwasher, a wine cooler and a variety of different pull-out storage options.

Artificial lighting is by way of ceiling spotlights with a pendant light fitting above the dining area.

The utility room is adjacent, with décor and fittings matching those of the kitchen.
