The house is a successful example of an executive property where there has been a deliberate intention to salute traditional trends and fulfil today’s expectations of a large family home. It is a four bedroom detached house in excellent condition and has three separate reception rooms, a hall and beautiful galleried landing, a prime bedroom suite with shower room and dressing room, a second bedroom with ensuite facilities, a family bathroom and a large open plan kitchen/dining area.

A side entrance to the right, is marked by a wrought iron gate and leads along a path to a private rear garden, bordered on all sides by wooden fences.
From initial viewing, this property has features reminiscent of an English Georgian house, with a white columned portico providing an elegant entrance. Likewise, casement windows have been deliberately designed to resemble sash windows, with deep sills and multiple bars creating individual panes. With chimney pot, brick castellation and symmetrical arrangement of architectural characteristics, here we have a distinctive residence that has been tastefully designed to co-exist with neighbouring residential homes.

A mixture of classical and modern
From the grand and charming portico, the entrance opens into a bright and welcoming hall. Stylistically, the hall represents the beginning of an interior showcasing classical features and modern design. Large white floor tiles, subtle recessed lighting, plainly painted interior walls and chrome accessorised vertical panelled doors set the coordinating pattern for the décor. The carpeted staircase is a beautiful feature here and in Georgian homes of the past they were statement pieces, reflecting elegance and grandeur. This one showcases craftsmanship and taste, combining traditional white painted rake balusters, newel posts and matching handrail. It ascends to a wide, light and airy galleried landing and is certainly an impressive feature at the centre of this property.

The reception rooms
From the hall, there are doors to each of the reception rooms and the kitchen/dining area. The hall also has fitted storage cupboards and a downstairs ventilated cloakroom. This consists of a two piece white suite, hand basin and toilet.

A generous lounge can be accessed from the left of the staircase. It is a carpeted room and has an open hearth contemporary styled fireplace, with gas fire and matching mantelpiece. The simple white surround and marble hearth, create a relaxing room complimented with a neutral interior palette of painted walls and featuring double doors opening onto a patio. The kitchen/dining room is directly next door and as this has a bi folding door, the connection from the interior to the exterior is merged seamlessly across the rear of the building. Floor to ceiling glass panels on each side of the doors in the kitchen provide maximum light and views of the garden. The kitchen also has another window looking into the garden above a sink unit.
When entered from the hall, the kitchen diner at the back of the property ticks all the boxes for a modern living space combining all the practical elements of a stylish kitchen and the relaxed comfort of a spacious dining area. Pendant lights denote the position of the table and a wall mounted television can be seen easily from there or from the stools used beneath the worktop creating a breakfast bar.
The kitchen offers a generous expanse of quartz work tops, complimented with white floor and wall cabinetry and dressed with brushed steel door furniture. The kitchen is a beautiful combination of traditional style and contemporary convenience. Ample storage space and integrated appliances including a wine fridge, induction hob with extractor hood, a double electric oven, and dishwasher, combine seamlessly to leave this room feeling uncluttered and substantial. There is space for an independent fridge freezer and an adjoining door to the utility room provides additional space for storage and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The utility room also has a door leading outside to the side of the house so serves as a perfect entry point for leaving muddy boots after a gardening session or walk.
