Entrance
An inviting entrance hallway sets the tone for this thoughtfully designed family home, offering a warm and welcoming first impression.

Patio doors open onto a side patio and the garden beyond, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Salon / Home Office / Gym and Garage Space
Offering exceptional versatility, the property benefits from a garage with a partial conversion, creating a flexible space perfectly suited to modern family life and changing lifestyle needs. With access from the garden and via the side passage, the converted section is currently arranged as a beauty room, complete with a freestanding sink, making it ideal for a home-based business treatment room. It is equally suited to be a dedicated work-from-home environment, gym or hobby room.
The interior has been thoughtfully finished with half-height panelling in delicate mint-green tones, complemented by wood-effect flooring for a fresh, contemporary feel. A wall-mounted TV point and electric heater add further practicality, creating a comfortable environment that can be adapted to suit a variety of uses.
An internal door leads directly into the remaining garage space at the front, retaining valuable storage. The configuration offers excellent flexibility, whether for bicycles, hobbies, equipment or additional household storage.
First Floor
Bedroom Two – A Refined Guest Suite
Bedroom two is a beautifully appointed double bedroom, offering a welcoming and light-filled retreat for visiting guests or an older family member seeking a little more independence.

Currently arranged as a delightful children's bedroom, bedroom three is a bright and versatile space with two windows, creating an airy atmosphere throughout the day. Currently a bunk bed makes clever use of the available floor space, leaving plenty of room for a wardrobe, additional storage and a cabinet for treasured belongings. A blue-grey feature above the bed adds a contemporary splash of colour, creating a characterful backdrop that can evolve as children grow. With ample room for play, reading and rest, this is a bedroom designed around the imagination and changing needs of family life.
Bedroom Four – A Touch of Individuality
Bedroom four offers another charming and thoughtfully styled children's room, with a scalloped half-painted pink feature wall introducing a playful, design-led detail. The soft colour palette creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while wooden blinds provide a natural finish and practical light control. There is space for a wardrobe and cabinets to organise toys, books and everyday essentials, helping to keep the room feeling calm and uncluttered.

Family Bathroom
The family bathroom has been designed as a calming space, combining contemporary finishes with a warm, natural palette. Wood-effect flooring introduces organic texture, beautifully complemented by sand-toned tiling that envelops the room in a serene, understated elegance. The bath, with shower over, offers the best of both worlds, whether preparing for the day ahead or enjoying a long, restorative soak.
A sleek, wall-mounted Roca basin enhances the contemporary aesthetic, while generously proportioned tiles, finished with refined silver edging, add a sophisticated decorative detail. A thoughtfully positioned shelf provides the perfect place for candles, beautifully presented toiletries and favourite bathing products, inviting you to create your own little sanctuary at the end of a busy day. Warm, tactile and timeless, this is a bathroom designed to feel both practical for family life and indulgent enough for a moment of everyday luxury.
The Top Floor
The Principal Suite – An Elevated Private Sanctuary
Created as part of the 2023 transformation, the principal suite occupies the top floor, offering a wonderfully private retreat away from the rhythm of family life. Thoughtfully designed to combine comfort, character, and contemporary luxury, this is a space dedicated to rest, relaxation and personal indulgence.
The principal bedroom features a striking slate-blue feature wall behind the bed, beautifully contrasted with plush light grey carpeting that adds softness and warmth underfoot. Three Velux roof windows draw natural light into the room, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the day, while a coordinated radiator enhances the cohesive finish. The sloping eaves introduce architectural character, with useful built-in storage cupboards making clever use of the available space. Cosy, calming and full of personality, this is a bedroom designed to feel like a true escape at the end of the day.
The En-Suite – Boutique Hotel Luxury
The magnificent en-suite makes a confident design statement, combining richly layered textures with a sophisticated palette of charcoal, grey, white and ink blue. Decorative Moroccan-patterned tiles to the floor, featuring intricate floral-inspired motifs, introduce an artistic flourish, beautifully complemented by grey marble-effect tiling and a striking dark-toned wall finish to the walls.
At the heart of the room, a striking freestanding white bath beautifully complemented by sleek black fittings that echo the contemporary styling of the surrounding sanitaryware. Sculptural in form and effortlessly elegant, it creates a luxurious focal point, inviting long, indulgent soaks with bubbles, a glass of champagne and a moment of well-deserved relaxation. A perfect blend of modern sophistication and everyday indulgence.
Also featuring a generous double-width walk-in shower features sleek black detailing and a contemporary square rainfall showerhead. An integrated recessed shelf provides an elegant home for bathing essentials, keeping the space beautifully uncluttered.
A designer heated towel rail adds a further touch of refinement, while the considered combination of pattern, texture and colour evokes the atmosphere of a boutique hotel. Distinctive and indulgent, this is an en-suite that transforms everyday routines into a more luxurious experience.
The Dressing Room and Home Office – Considered Living
Completing the principal suite is a dedicated dressing room that combines exceptional storage with valuable flexibility. Extensive built-in wardrobes in a rich navy-blue finish create a striking contrast against crisp white walls, offering an organised home for clothing, shoes and accessories while lending the room a bespoke, fitted appearance.
There is also space for a dedicated office desk or dressing table, allowing the room to adapt effortlessly to individual needs. Whether envisioned as a private dressing sanctuary, a quiet place to work or a combination of both, this thoughtfully designed space keeps the practicalities of everyday life discreetly separate from the bedroom.
The Garden – A Private Outdoor Sanctuary
Step through the patio doors from the dining area and discover a beautifully arranged garden designed to complement modern family living, with distinct spaces for entertaining, relaxing and play. A smooth paved patio provides an inviting setting for al fresco dining and summer gatherings, creating a natural extension of the home's sociable interior.
Behind the house, raised timber sleepers frame carefully considered planting, with bamboo and palm varieties introducing an exotic feel and a welcome sense of privacy. Venetian-style fence panelling provides a contemporary backdrop, while fragrant shrubs and ornamental trees bring layers of texture, colour and seasonal interest to the garden. The thoughtful combination of architectural planting and natural materials creates an intimate outdoor setting that feels both stylish and secluded.
The patio continues along the garden, offering further space for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining, while the lawn provides a softer green centrepiece and room for children to play. A small dedicated area for children's play equipment adds a practical family-friendly touch without compromising the garden's overall sense of design.
