The kitchen and dining room
Forming the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining room combines everyday functionality with space for family gatherings. Shaker-style cabinets and quartz worktops house a Belfast sink, integrated appliances and a range cooker while a large island doubles as a breakfast bar. Undercabinet lighting highlights the workspace and wide windows frame garden views. The dining area sits beside the island and doors connect to the terrace and living room.

The living room
Designed for relaxation, the living room links seamlessly to the kitchen and dining area. Dual aspect windows overlook the garden and frontage and a Kardean floor provides a warm foundation. The room offers plenty of space for seating and flows directly into the open-plan hub, creating a flexible zone for entertaining and family time.

The porch
The porch provides a welcoming entrance to the home, offering a practical buffer between outside and the living space. A teal front door with glazed panels admits light and the grey tiled floor is hard-wearing underfoot. There is room to sit and remove shoes before stepping through to the hall.

The utility and cloakroom
Located off the kitchen, the utility serves as a dedicated space for laundry and everyday chores. Large windows and a glazed door open onto the patio, while fitted units provide space for a washing machine and dryer beneath a wood-effect work surface. An adjoining cloakroom contains a WC and wash basin for convenience.

The primary bedroom
Positioned on the ground floor, the primary bedroom offers a calm retreat. A wide casement window invites in garden views and built-in mirrored wardrobes span one wall for generous storage. The layout easily accommodates a double bed with bedside furniture.

The second bedroom
Also on the ground floor, the second bedroom is a comfortable double room with fitted wardrobes along one wall. A large window faces the front garden and there is ample space for a bed and additional furniture, making this room suitable for guests or teenagers.

The third bedroom
Currently arranged as a child’s room, the third bedroom enjoys a bright outlook through a large window. Built-in storage to one side keeps belongings organised and the room is finished with soft carpeting, creating a cosy setting for sleep or study.

The fourth bedroom
This flexible fourth bedroom functions well as a single room or home office. A built-in desk with shelving and cupboards provides workspace and storage, while a large window looks onto the front aspect. The room’s compact footprint suits work, hobbies or occasional overnight stays.

The fifth bedroom and dressing room
Tucked beneath the eaves on the first floor, the fifth bedroom and its adjoining dressing area form a private suite. The bedroom features a sloping ceiling with a roof light and space for a double bed, while the neighbouring dressing room has a large roof window framing far-reaching rural views, plus fitted bench seating and access to a separate store.

The bathroom
The family bathroom is appointed with modern fittings and attractive tiling. A p-shaped bath with rainfall and handheld shower sits behind a curved glass screen, complemented by a close-coupled WC. Built-in storage units in a wood finish provide room for towels and toiletries, and a frosted window offers privacy and light.

The garden
Extending beyond the home, the large rear garden offers plentiful space for play, gardening and entertaining. A paved patio wraps around the house and leads to a sweeping lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees. Outbuildings include a shed, while a pergola and children’s playhouse add interest. Views extend toward open countryside and distant hills.

The driveway and parking
To the front, a generous gravel and tarmac driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to a detached garage with up-and-over door. The driveway is framed by planting and a low hedge, and a side gate provides secure access to the rear garden. The arrangement ensures parking is both convenient and unobtrusive.

Fees

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained.
