Substantial detached family home in The Grange with large garden and secondary annex accommodation.

The current proprietors have implemented several enhancements to the residence, resulting in an immaculate home that is primed for a family to inhabit and enjoy. Most recently, they have installed a one-bedroom annexe, which offers contemporary secondary accommodation suitable for guests, a granny annexe, or as a means to generate income.

The central hallway exudes grandeur and spaciousness. The drawing room and dining room provide excellent space for entertaining, boasting lovely proportions and wooden floors. The newly constructed open plan kitchen/dining/living room serves as the focal point of the home, with direct access to the garden. The kitchen is designed with contemporary elegance, ample storage, and an island/breakfast bar, with a shower room adjacent. Additionally, there are two adaptable living spaces accessed via the study, suitable for use as bedrooms or home offices. The ground floor also includes a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a separate bathroom. Upstairs, an appealing open landing leads to all the main bedrooms. The principal bedroom is impressively spacious and features an immaculate bathroom with a free-standing bath and a large shower unit, along with three further double bedrooms and a shower room. The annexe, accessible from the main house via the dining room, comprises an open plan kitchen/living space and a double bedroom with an en suite shower. Outside, a sizeable private garden with patio areas, a lawn, and mature borders offers ample outdoor space, alongside a meticulously maintained front garden and off-street parking for several cars.
