Double patio doors open onto a raised patio area, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the outdoors.

For the culinary enthusiast, the kitchen is a true delight, boasting generous granite worktops and ample cupboard and drawer space. It comes equipped with high-end appliances, including a large Miele dishwasher, a premium Miele oven, a Neff induction hob, and a combined eye-level microwave and grill.

Ascending the beautifully hand-painted cart winder staircase, you’ll find the first floor, where high ceilings create an airy and open feel. The main bedroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring elegant light fixtures and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a power shower and steam room, along with a stylish contemporary sink and toilet. Adjacent to the main bedroom lies a spacious second bedroom, adorned with a stunning feature light shade that serves as a captivating centerpiece, easily adjustable to create a soothing ambiance. What was once a modest box room has been transformed into a generous wardrobe and storage area, complete with a stylish mirror and dressing table. The fourth room, which originally functioned as a double bedroom, has been reimagined into a spacious double office, a testament to the work-from-home trend. The bathroom is equipped with a sink unit, bidet, toilet, and an expansive double bath, enhanced with luxurious jacuzzi jets.

Additionally, a conveniently shelved airing cupboard houses the hot water tank, ensuring practicality in this elegant space. The second floor of this remarkable property is fully self-contained, featuring a convenient kitchenette complete with a breakfast bar. A spacious lounge/sitting room offers beautiful views of Astley Park, as well as a picturesque outlook over the front and side gardens, where the charming feature pond is located. The three generously sized bedrooms are well-appointed, all serviced by a family bathroom that boasts a contemporary sink, toilet, and a stylish corner bath. The bathroom also includes a large shower with a curved screen and an open walk-in design at one end. This floor is perfect for multi-generational living or could serve as a lucrative secondary income opportunity, such as an Airbnb or long-term rental.

In addition to its impressive size and proportion, one of the standout features of this property is its beautifully landscaped garden. Developed over the past 25 years, the garden is designed with a walled layout that includes a spacious lawn area, ample enough to accommodate a marquee for up to 50 guests. The lawn is bordered by a traditional cobbled secure parking area, allowing for easy vehicle maneuvering. To the south side of the lawn, you'll find an established conifer bed and a circular grey cobbled dining area, perfect for al fresco meals. Adjacent to the dining area is a bed filled with Mediterranean plants and shrubs, leading to a large wooden deck overlooking a serene pond and waterfall. Throughout the garden, a variety of potted plants thrive, all maintained by an efficient irrigation system that ensures they are watered daily. In addition to the raised and lowered patios outside the kitchen and lounge, an extra patio has been added to the south side of the property, providing a sun-soaked seating area perfect for enjoying the later hours of the day. At the far end of the garden, a double garage with newly fitted automatic roller doors houses the utility room for washing and drying. The garden is beautifully illuminated by feature lights, security lights, and solar display lights, creating a magical atmosphere in the evenings.
