This unique detached house has been completed and appointed to a high standard. Built as a Crest Nicholson show home just over 7 years ago, the property has the remainder of an NHBC 10 year guarantee. It is a very handsome building in an enviable location with excellent, well-appointed accommodation. As well as the initial high specification build required for a show home, the current owners have added some nice extras. These include granite work surfaces, floor tiling, colonial shutters, a remote-control roller style garage door, garden lighting and external electrical sockets in the front garden, back driveway and side garden.

The front door opens into a bright reception hall with the staircase, store cupboard and a cloakroom with basin and wc. To the left glazed double doors open into the 20ft. plus double aspect sitting room which overlooks the garden and the adjoining open parkland from the bay window. To the right of the hall is the large 16ft. x 21ft. kitchen and dining room which again has a double aspect. To the south a large bay with windows and French doors floods the room with sunshine. The kitchen area is well fitted with an excellent range of units (including a peninsula with breakfast bar and additional under unit shelving), granite work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and appliances including an induction hob, extractor, double oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The dining area has plenty of space for the dining table and chairs and enjoys direct access into the garden.

Off the kitchen is a utility room which has further kitchen units, sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is an exterior door to the rear drive and an additional under stairs cupboard for storage of larger items.

The landing has an airing cupboard and an enlarged access with integrated ladders to the loft. This is a distinctive feature of the property. It runs the length of the building and it is boarded (floating above the insulation) with lighting and comprehensive shelving which makes a fabulous storage area. The main bedroom has a double aspect, fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room with floor and wall tiling, hand basin, wc and a large walk-in shower area. There are three further bedrooms and a bathroom. This has wall tiling, a hand basin, wc and a panelled bath with a shower above and a shower screen.

The property has an attractive walled front garden with mature shrubs. The south garden also has a wonderful wisteria clad wall as a backdrop to floral borders. It is well landscaped with lawns, paths and two paved terraces. One terrace is adjacent to the French doors from the dining room and gets sunshine in the morning. It can also give shade when needed having the benefit of a metal framed pergola with sunscreens. The other terrace is in the sunshine in the afternoon and evening. Both are well sheltered, private and totally secure for children and dogs. A door provides access to the single garage. A lane leads around the side of the house to the rear of the property where the drive provides private parking and gives access to the garage.
