The Property

This unique family home has been extensively improved and enlarged in recent years and now offers beautifully presented accommodation over three floors. There is the ideal balance of open plan and separate living spaces to the ground floor where a sitting room with feature fireplace and large corner bay window is complemented by a dramatic open plan main living space. This has been imaginatively configured to provide a large family living area, ideal for entertaining, leading to a well-appointed kitchen, open plan to a dining area, which benefits from a glazed vaulted roof line and an elevation of glazed bi-fold doors leading to the garden. A store and cloak room complete the picture inside on the ground floor. To the first floor are three comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom. To the second floor is a loft room, currently used as a bedroom, with a walk-through dressing area leading to another ensuite shower room.

Outside

Occupying a generous corner plot there are town house style front and side gardens with evergreen hedges planted to the boundaries, there is a garden path to the storm porch and main entrance from Folly Lane as well as access from Cannon Street to a second entrance there. To one side is gated access to the garden at the rear, with fenced and planted boundaries it is laid mainly to lawn and has been landscaped to provide a paved sun terrace with access via bi-fold doors from the open plan kitchen/dining/family room. Steps from the terrace rise gently to the lawn as well as down to the self-contained home office/studio/gym/workshop. This standalone accommodation has French doors providing access and with its en-suite cloak room and wall of full height fitted cupboards offers flexibility for use in a number of ways. It is currently used as a home gym, home office and workshop but also could also be used as a self-contained studio, den, guest bedroom, or, for those working from home and receiving clients in the course of their work, the ability to do so without intrusion into the family home by virtue of its independent access. A bike/garden store and separate log store complete the picture outside.
