LAYOUT
Ground floor
The front garden offers space for a seating area or, if desired, bicycle storage.
Through the entrance hall, you reach the hallway with a built-in wardrobe, a large cupboard under the stairs and access to the various rooms.
The spacious kitchen-diner is one of the absolute highlights of the property. It has been designed with great attention to detail and comprises three distinct areas. A cooking island, allowing you to interact with the dining table whilst cooking. The bar area, which could serve as a coffee corner or a place to prepare drinks (featuring a wine climate cabinet, a dishwasher and a Quooker with cold and sparkling water functions). The built-in wall unit features a second dishwasher, a second sink, a second Quooker and a fridge-freezer. Just around the corner is a utility room with an extra oven and a second fridge-freezer, as well as floor-to-ceiling cupboards and storage space under the stairs.
Adjacent to this is the impressive dining area in the extension. The raised ceiling and skylights create a particularly spacious feel here, with beautiful natural light flooding in. The large windows and French doors leading to the garden enhance the open feel and provide a pleasant connection between indoors and outdoors. The dining area is perfect for long dinners and cosy evenings with family and friends. To the left of the dining area, a wonderfully light reading nook has been created, where you can enjoy the rising sun in the morning.
At the front of the property is the spacious living room, characterised by its large windows and the extra natural light coming in through the side window. This makes it a particularly light and pleasant space, whilst the layout also creates a warm, cosy atmosphere. A lovely spot to sit and relax or entertain guests.
Behind the kitchen and dining area, there is also a separate TV room, which serves perfectly as a comfortable home cinema (with a large built-in cupboard). Thanks to this additional living space, different living functions can be used simultaneously without compromising on peace and privacy.
A multifunctional workspace is accessible via the practical utility room. This room is ideal as a home office and offers the opportunity to receive business associates or clients without them having to enter the other living areas.
From this room, a private staircase leads to the upper floor, where there is a separate bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and storage space. This part of the house offers a high degree of privacy and is ideal for guests, an au pair or an older child who needs their own space within the family. There is also potential here to add a dormer window at the front; for example, a sauna could be installed here.
First floor
The central staircase leads to the first floor, where the spacious master bedroom is situated. This comfortable room features a large walk-in wardrobe, allowing clothes and personal belongings to be stored neatly and out of sight. The bedroom has a large window with French doors. There is also a linen cupboard in the hallway.
The luxurious bathroom, fitted with underfloor heating, is stylishly finished and features a bath, a separate double shower and a large washbasin unit. The carefully chosen materials and refined finish give this space a calm and exclusive feel.
This floor also features a second spacious bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, which is similarly well laid out and ideally suited as a children’s room, guest room or study, with views over the leafy street.
On the landing, there is a separate toilet with a shower.
Second floor
A fixed staircase from the landing leads to the top floor. Here, there is another spacious bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, which, thanks to its layout and natural light, creates a particularly pleasant space.
This floor also features its own bathroom, finished in the same high-quality and timeless style as the other bathrooms. Both this bathroom and the bathroom in the separate guest area were fitted in 2026.
In addition, a practical, separate utility room with extra storage space has been created on this floor. The connections for the washing machine and tumble dryer are neatly concealed here, ensuring that these household appliances do not take up space in the other rooms.
GARDEN
At the rear of the property (with rear access), there is a wide, sunny and pleasant garden with evergreen trees. The garden offers plenty of privacy and features an outdoor shower for warm days. The garden is directly accessible from the spacious kitchen-diner via large folding doors or French doors. This creates a pleasant connection between the living spaces and the outdoors.
The garden can be attractively lit in the evenings and features an outside tap and various electrical sockets.
The garden offers space for a comfortable seating, sunbathing and dining area, making it a lovely extension of the house during the warmer months. At the back of the garden, there is also a practical detached storage shed and a door leading to the back entrance.
