Description
Located towards the end of an established cul-de-sac, Cheriton is a detached chalet-style bungalow which was originally built in the early 1970’s.
Since 2017, the property has been meticulously modernised and comprehensively improved, which includes a substantial rear addition finished to an appealing contemporary edge.
All the remaining accommodation has also been painstakingly upgraded, which continues the stylishly modern theme.
Additional upgrades include the instillation of 22 solar panels with battery, heat recovery system, underfloor heating throughout, aluminium framed double-glazed windows, and Cat 6 cabling.
The accommodation is split-level, where the entrance hall, integral double garage and cloakroom form the lower ground floor. Stairs lead to the central landing area which is spacious, with a full height birchwood ply balustrade.
The landing leads into the impressive kitchen / dining room, comprising the recent extension which was completed in 2021. The kitchen area is comprehensively fitted with crystal quartz work surfaces, including an extensive ‘island’ with inset induction hob. Further integral appliances include microwave, double oven, and a full-height fridge / freezer. Electric controlled triple glazed velux windows provide much natural light, together with the full width bi-folding doors which leads onto the main garden.
An opening leads up to the main reception room, where the original rear wall was removed which continues the open plan theme. A large picture window to the front takes advantage of the property’s elevated setting, with views towards Stoke-by-Nayland.
Similar views are also enjoyed via the two front double bedrooms, which comprise bedrooms three and four, and are served by the family bathroom. Overlooking the main garden, the principal two double bedrooms are to the rear, both of which provide ensuite shower rooms.
The remaining accommodation is the utility / boot room, with granite worksurface, inset sink and plumbing / space for washing machine and tumble dryer.
Set back in its plot, Cheriton is built on elevated ground with a raised front lawn and a driveway to one side, which leads to the integral garage. Offering good privacy, the main rear garden has been recently landscaped, which consists of a patio and an adjacent lawn with a mature cherry tree and herbaceous borders. A timber shed is to one corner, which has power and further Cat 6 cabling. In all the property covers just under 0.2 acres.
