Entrance Hallway - The welcoming entrance hallway immediately establishes the home’s stylish presentation, with light wood-effect flooring, softly toned décor and crisp white internal doors creating a fresh, coordinated finish. A staircase with white balustrading, a contrasting timber handrail and grey carpeting rises to the first floor, adding warmth and character to the entrance. The hallway provides an inviting introduction to the accommodation, with a view through towards the kitchen enhancing the sense of flow between the living spaces.
Ground Floor W/C & Utility Room - A particularly useful feature for everyday family living, this combined cloakroom and utility room brings together essential facilities in one neatly arranged space. A white W/C and pedestal washbasin are complemented by patterned flooring, while a contrasting worktop provides a practical surface above the laundry appliance space. Keeping washing facilities separate from the main kitchen helps preserve its clean, sociable feel, while the ground-floor toilet offers added convenience for residents and visiting guests.
Lounge - Beautifully presented and comfortably proportioned, the lounge provides a welcoming retreat in which to unwind. A broad window introduces generous natural light, highlighting the pale wood-effect flooring and soft, neutral walls. The room offers scope for a substantial sofa arrangement and accompanying furniture, allowing tenants to create a setting equally suited to relaxed evenings and entertaining friends. Its separate position from the kitchen gives the home a valuable second atmosphere: a peaceful living room where comfort and relaxation take centre stage.
Breakfasting Kitchen - The breakfasting kitchen is a standout feature of the property, bringing cooking, dining and conversation together in an attractive, sociable space. Glossy white cabinetry is complemented by contrasting work surfaces, coordinated upstands and sleek metal handles, creating a polished contemporary finish. A fitted oven, gas hob and stainless-steel extractor form the cooking area, while recessed ceiling lighting adds to the clean-lined presentation.
The adjoining dining space offers room for a family table, making this an inviting setting for everything from a quick morning coffee to leisurely evening meals. Windows and glazed French doors draw in natural light, while the doors open onto the rear patio, creating an appealing connection with the garden. Pale wood-effect flooring runs throughout, visually uniting the kitchen and dining areas and giving this central living space a beautifully cohesive feel.
First Floor Landing - The carpeted staircase leads to a neatly presented landing, where neutral decoration and white internal doors continue the home’s coordinated style. The landing connects the bedroom accommodation and bathrooms, providing a comfortable transition from the sociable ground floor to the more private rooms above.
Master Bedroom - The principal bedroom offers an inviting retreat, with soft carpeting and understated decoration creating a restful setting at the end of the day. There is room for a double bed and accompanying bedroom furniture, allowing the space to be arranged around individual tastes and requirements. Natural light enhances its welcoming atmosphere, while direct access to the en-suite adds a desirable level of privacy and convenience. It is a comfortable, well-presented bedroom that lends itself beautifully to a calm and personal interior.
En-Suite - The en-suite complements the principal bedroom with a smart, contemporary finish. A glazed shower enclosure is paired with a white pedestal washbasin and W/C, while grey-toned tiling introduces texture and contrast. Coordinated flooring completes the presentation, and a window provides natural light. This dedicated shower room brings an extra touch of comfort to the bedroom suite and is a practical advantage during busy mornings.
Second Bedroom - A welcoming second bedroom provides excellent flexibility for family living or accommodating overnight guests. Its neutral colour palette and soft carpeting create a comfortable foundation for a variety of furnishing styles, while the window keeps the room feeling bright and inviting. With space for a double-bed arrangement, it offers an appealing bedroom in its own right and allows tenants to create a room that feels individual while complementing the rest of the home.
Third Bedroom - The third bedroom continues the property’s attractive presentation, with light walls and carpeting providing a versatile backdrop. The photographs demonstrate its potential for a double-bed arrangement, making it a useful additional sleeping space for family members or guests. Whether styled as a welcoming guest room or a more personalised everyday bedroom, it contributes to the home’s adaptable accommodation.
Fourth Bedroom - The fourth bedroom adds further versatility and is shown arranged as a dedicated home office. For tenants who work remotely, it offers the opportunity to establish a separate workspace away from the principal living areas. Equally, it could be furnished as a nursery, child’s bedroom or hobby room to suit individual needs. A window provides natural light, while the neutral finish makes this an easy space to personalise.
Family Bathroom - Beautifully presented, the family bathroom features a contemporary four-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, separate glazed shower enclosure, pedestal washbasin and low-level W/C. The bath offers an inviting place to unwind, while the separate shower provides added convenience for busy mornings. Elegant stone-effect tiling surrounds the bath and extends to full height within the shower enclosure, complemented by coordinated flooring for a cohesive finish. Chrome fittings, soft neutral walls and a radiator complete this stylish space, combining everyday practicality with the comfort expected of an executive family home.
Outside Gardens - The attractive brick exterior gives the home a strong first impression, complemented by a planted frontage, lawn and paved approach. To the rear, an enclosed garden provides a pleasing extension of the living accommodation, with a broad paved patio immediately outside the kitchen’s French doors. Ideal for outdoor dining, garden furniture and summer gatherings, the patio leads onto a lawn bordered by timber fencing. The combination of paved and grassed areas creates a versatile outdoor setting for both relaxation and recreation.
Detached Garage - The detached garage is a valuable addition, providing useful space for storage, bicycles and household equipment, or garaging a suitable vehicle. Positioned separately from the main house, it complements the property’s practical family layout and adds another appealing feature to this impressive executive rental home.
