Furthermore, the kitchen has wide bi-folding and French doors opening onto the wraparound deck – ideal for summer entertaining and barbecues. The adjoining family room has chic bold décor and could be utilised as a relaxed lounge/TV room, a teenager’s den, or a children’s play room.

The home has four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all individually decorated and retaining their original cornicing. Three are carpeted for optimum comfort underfoot, with one enjoying handsome wood flooring. The principal bedroom boasts exclusive access out to a large roof terrace, with glass balustrades overlooking the garden, offering an ideal space for morning coffee or an evening drink as the sun sets. There is also a study, offering a quiet area for those who work or study from home. Finally, the house has a shower room on the ground floor and a bathroom on the first floor. The former comprises a deluxe walk-in enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, handset, and eye-catching tiling, a basin, a WC, and utility cupboards. The latter is traditionally styled and comes complete with a freestanding claw-foot rolltop bath, a WC-suite, a linen cupboard, and a clothes pulley. The home is kept warm by gas central heating and has partial triple glazing.
