The Property
38 Uppertown is a spacious and well-appointed four bedroom detached property with lovely gardens and outdoor entertaining space, all nestled in the heart of the desirable market town of Wolsingham.

The front door opens to the glazed entrance porch with onward access to the living accommodation. The principal reception room is the welcoming sitting room, with a feature fireplace housing a woodburning stove and a large picture window that overlooks the front gardens. To the rear elevation is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room. Attractive wood cabinetry at wall and floor level provides an abundance of storage and workspace, including pretty glazed display units. High quality integrated appliances include a Siemens double oven, microwave and dishwasher, along with space for an American-style fridge freezer. Twin windows look out to the rear gardens and there is lots of space for a table and chairs for day-to-day dining.

The kitchen adjoins the dining room which extends from front to rear elevation. This room is currently used as space for home working, but can easily be reconfigured as a reception room with space to done and entertain. The study is accessed directly from the porch and is also used to support home working. A rear hall links the study, the kitchen/breakfast room and a useful ground floor WC, as well as providing external access to the side of the property.

Stairs rise from the rear of the study to the first floor landing and four bedrooms. The principal bedroom sits to the front; this is a particularly generous room with the added benefit of extensive fitted storage. All three remaining bedrooms also offer fitted storage, with two to the rear elevation and one to the front. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom with traditional tiling and a suite comprising bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and bidet.

Externally
Large, attractive and beautifully maintained gardens are a key feature of 38 Uppertown. The front gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create form and character. Immediately in front of the house is an area of lawn and decorative patio, with a pretty pond sitting in front. Stone steps leads down elegant terracing between colourful shrubs and plantings before opening out to manicured lawns. Mature trees and hedging provide shelter and privacy.

The rear gardens are equally well-presented. Stone flagged paving has lots of space for al fresco dining and entertaining. At the rear of the flagged area is a fabulous timber garden room, perfect for a peaceful escape, and cosy even when the sun goes down. Nestled above the rear lawn is a hot tub beneath a pergola, bringing an extra touch of luxury.

38 Uppertown benefits from a detached garage along with ample space for driveway parking. A second single garage offers the opportunity to develop, subject to securing the necessary consents. This could become a fantastic home office, keeping work and home life separate, or perhaps annexe accommodation if required.
