The home

Two levels, made for living well.

Master bedroom with a double bed under a sloping ceiling, with a sofa and armchairs

Master bedroom

Upstairs, the exceptionally spacious, triple-sized master bedroom is a standout feature, providing a wonderful private retreat with an abundance of space and comfort, complemented by its own ensuite.

Living room with a TV unit, sofas and a round coffee table

Family living

At the heart of the home is the light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The sophisticated designer kitchen is beautifully appointed with generous workspace, quality finishes and excellent storage, while the living areas connect seamlessly with the outdoors, creating an inviting hub for everyday family life and effortless entertaining.

Dining and garden

The outdoor spaces are a real highlight. Beautifully landscaped front and rear gardens complement the home perfectly, with lush west-facing lawns and paved entertaining areas enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun. A sheltered east-facing courtyard provides another peaceful setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply relaxing.

Front entrance

Established planting, mature landscaping and multiple outdoor living areas create a remarkably private and tranquil sanctuary, making it surprisingly easy to forget just how central the location is. In spring, the magnificent magnolia trees become a particularly beautiful feature, with their blossoms enjoyed from inside the home, a view that has become a much-loved part of family life here over the years.
