The property is thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a discreet wheelchair ramp at the front entrance and a lift within the porch, ensuring seamless movement throughout the home.

Inside, the main living areas are generously sized and beautifully appointed, showcasing a stylish and contemporary interior. The grand entrance portico, constructed from stone, leads into the porch with a convenient cloakroom and a lift to the first floor. Double doors open into the principal entrance hall, which features an impressive wooden staircase with a galleried landing and feature chandelier. The hall provides access to the office, sitting room, WC and through to the open plan living/dining/kitchen. The office features ample storage with substantial built-in cupboards and a custom-designed desk. Floor-to-ceiling windows allows for an abundance of natural light and French doors offer seamless access to the outdoors.

The expansive kitchen has ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table with chairs, making it a perfect place for family gatherings and entertaining. An impressive inglenook brick fireplace acts as an aesthetic focal point and houses a traditional six door aga. The well-appointed kitchen boasts cream shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, and wine cooler. A substantial island adds extra storage, worktop space and includes breakfast bar seating for casual dining. Large, contemporary sash windows and patio doors, complemented by custom Sanderson curtains and blinds, flood the room in natural light. An adjoining utility room adds extra convenience with a classic Belfast sink, additional storage and ample space for a washer and dryer.

The spacious sitting room and garden room benefit from an abundance of windows and each space is thoughtfully arranged to offer inviting, comfortable seating areas for relaxation. The sitting room features a striking stone fireplace, complete with a sleek, contemporary wood burner stove. Both rooms offer delightful views of the south-facing garden and include patio doors for effortless access to the outdoor space.

On the first floor, you are welcomed by a large landing where the lift ascends to. This offers access to a convenient storage cupboard, a beautifully designed family bathroom, and five generously proportioned double bedrooms, each impeccably decorated. All bedrooms are equipped with fitted wardrobes, while the principal bedroom has the added luxury of a separate dressing room. Three of the bedrooms have their own stylish and well-appointed en-suite facilities, with two benefiting from walk-in showers and one offering a luxurious drop-in bathtub set within tasteful tile surround. The remaining two bedrooms are served by the spacious and elegant family bathroom, featuring both a separate shower and a bathtub.
