The "larger than life" front door leads to a long, wide hallway into the heart of the home - the stunning living areas and kitchen.
Here expansive windows and stacking sliding doors track the northerly sun, as does the huge skylight featured above the central kitchen work-bench.
In the kitchen two Siemens ovens (one pyrolytic and one steam/convection) and the Asko induction cooktop would keep any cook happy.
A large walk-in pantry provides valuable storage, extra bench space and houses the integrated fridge and freezer.
An innovative window seat in the lounge area is both practical and beautiful - the perfect spot for a morning coffee or curling up to read a book.
Ducted heating throughout the house is complemented by a double-sided wood fire which is just heaven on chilly nights and defines the dining and living areas.
A separate internal second living room is lightened by yet another skylight and has built-in joinery down one side.
The laundry is packed with cupboards, drawers and oodles of bench space and a handy rack for drying those delicate items of clothing.
Both bathrooms (main and ensuite) are fully tiled, have floor heating and and feature bespoke vanity joinery.
The garden is fully landscaped and is planted out with elegant semi-mature flowering crab apples and silver birch trees. Two cars and much more can fit in the generously-sized garage.
