Owner's comments

"We’ve loved living in this property together for the past 6 years, we’ve enjoyed making it our home but now hope someone else will get the same love for it as we have done. We now have two young children and have felt so grateful to have such a lovely home to bring them up in. The views never get old and change everyday! We’ll definitely miss sitting out on the balcony watching sunsets."

Accommodation

Stepping into through the front door, there is a spacious hallway providing access to all of downstairs, in addition to a handy space under the stairs for storage. The kitchen to the left is fully fitted with a range of wall and base cupboards and drawers, ample work surface areas and a stainless steel sink/drainer. Built-in appliances include a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher as well as an electric oven, gas hob and an extractor canopy over. A smooth hard wearing flooring flows through the kitchen, hallway and into the dining room which could become a further play area or sitting room, offering a large and more formal dining space. There is a useful storage cupboard and attractive bay window overlooking the garden, while a door leads outside. Completing the accommodation downstairs is a must-have of any family home - a cloakroom which comprises a WC and wash basin.

Upstairs, the sitting room enjoys excellent views over the adjoining countryside and towards the estuary. It also features a bay window, making for a spacious reception area and also has a door stepping out to a balcony. This makes for an amazing personal space to sit and take the wonderful landscape over a glass of wine or a beer in the evening. The bathroom is on this floor and is a surprisingly large room which comprises a white suite to include a WC, wash hand basin and a panelled bath with shower over. Bedroom two also has great versatility, with potential use as a playroom, further snug or as a double bedroom itself. In fact, even the sitting area could be utilised as a fifth bedroom for those with large families. 

Heading up to the top floor, there is a single and double room to the front aspect, and the principal suite is a generous double boasting more of those incredible views from an even more elevated position at the rear. This bedroom is also served by a modern en-suite facility, comprising a WC, wash hand basin and an enclosed shower cubicle.

Outside & parking

The front of the home is terraced, with a few short steps leading down to the front door. This is a simple and low maintenance space, with a covered area directly in front of the door which is handy for rainy days. 

The garden is accessed from the dining room and decking adjoins the back of the property itself, forming a pleasant seating area. The majority of the garden is made up of a lawned section with fenced borders and a footpath leads down the side to a pedestrian gate, which in turn accesses the allocated parking and garage.
