There is ample space for both comfortable family seating and a generous dining area, making this a room designed equally well for relaxed everyday living and entertaining. Doors open towards the rear garden and pergola, creating an appealing connection with the outdoor space and allowing light to pour into the room throughout the day. The adjoining kitchen has been finished in a charming country-inspired style, with painted cabinetry, timber work surfaces, a central island, tiled splashbacks and excellent storage. Its characterful design complements the contemporary living space perfectly, while a separate utility area provides valuable additional storage and laundry facilities. The office is a very versatile space which can be easliy adapted to a formal dining room or a fifth bedroom. The overall ground-floor arrangement flows extremely well and has been thoughtfully designed to suit the demands of a busy household. The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across the upper levels. Each has its own attractive decorative character, while large windows ensure excellent natural light. The bathrooms are particularly well presented, combining clean contemporary finishes with touches of traditional styling, including panelled walls, classic bathroom fittings and stylish shower and bath arrangements. The upper-floor loft is another superb feature, offering a bright and highly versatile additional space with a velux roof window and generous fitted storage. Outside, the rear garden offers a private and appealing setting with a patio and pergola providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining and summer entertaining. The end-of-terrace position further enhances the sense of space and privacy. With its generous 182.2 square metres / 1,961 square feet of accommodation, four to five bedrooms, three bathrooms, open living /dining/ kitchen, additional office and versatile loft space plus B3 energy rating, Forthouse represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a distinctive, light-filled and beautifully finished family home.
