Superb Four Bedroom Detached House With Seperate Office & Workshop, Evercreech

Leighton House is a wonderful extended period property that has been renovated to a high standard throughout and includes a brilliant home office/garden studio, garage and off- street parking for multiple vehicles.

About the property:

We enter a substantial entrance hall via a useful porch area where you will find a striking double height hallway with feature staircase, and galleried landing. This versatile area could be used as an additional reception/playroom. At the end of the hallway is a utility room with space for your appliances alongside further storage.

From the hallway there is a very large, open plan sitting room with plenty of room for formal dining too. The current owners enjoy a snug area in front of the impressive wood burner, creating a cosy space alongside a more formal lounge/diner area.

From here we enter a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room where soft grey shaker style kitchen cabinets are topped with striking marble worktops that contrast beautifully with the exposed stone walls. Modern additions include fitted motorised pop-up power points and speakers and a large picture window above the sink offers a wide view of the garden. To the far end there is a spacious dining area, and two sets of French doors provide access to both the rear and side of the garden and brings a vast amount of light through the space.

Upstairs, you'll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are doubles. Bedroom two benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the master has a beautiful ensuite, with walk in shower and underfloor heating. Along the landing you will find the main family bathroom, which also offers underfloor heating.

The décor is superb throughout with a wonderful cottage feel amongst modern additions which work beautifully, and this balance is perfectly executed outside too.

About the outside:

The front of the property is laid to lawn, with a paved path leading to the front door. There is a brick driveway and a side border of shrubbery. Behind wooden double gates is a fully insulated garage/workshop with adjoining office space totalling 37sqm. This could provide additional ancillary accommodation to the house. The rear office space benefits from underfloor heating and is perfect for working from home or visiting guest.

The rear garden is outstanding and provides a fantastic entertainment space for a multitude of uses. You will find a wooden clad, open fronted summerhouse with a built-in bar area, space for seating and a log burner with mains power and aerial points, the perfect space for alfresco dining. You'll also benefit from having a designated hot tub area, ideal for an evening of relaxation.
