Description

A beautifully refurbished and extended McNamara-built home offering elegant, characterful accommodation.

This attractive home blends classic features with modern comforts, including underfloor heating in the hallway, kitchen/dining/family room, and bathrooms; a Sonos sound system in the kitchen, snug, and principal en suite; traditional latched doors; period-style radiators; and well-appointed bathrooms.

The welcoming entrance hall is finished with stylish tiled flooring, which flows seamlessly through to the stunning kitchen/dining/family room. There is a useful coat cupboard and cloakroom. The elegant sitting room is a delightful space, with a wood burning stove on a stone hearth. From here, a door leads into a vaulted, beamed study. To the front of the house is a snug with a wood burner.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room – the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing with family. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a handmade range of wall and floor units, a central island and a dresser unit with a built-in bar featuring antique glass, backlight and a wine fridge. Integrated appliances include a Siemens dishwasher, double oven and warming drawer, an AEG induction hob, and a Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer. There is also a hot water tap and Insinkerator beside the sink with Perrin & Rowe fittings. A utility room sits just off the kitchen, fitted with a butler sink, Perrin & Rowe taps, cabinetry and appliance space.

Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing leads to three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The elegant principal suite enjoys a dual aspect and includes a large dressing room with built-in, backlit wardrobes and an en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, twin vanity unit, WC and walk-in shower with stylish tiling and part-panelled walls – all enhanced by underfloor heating. The guest bedroom offers built-in wardrobes and useful eaves storage, while the third double bedroom benefits from a peaceful rear outlook. A family bathroom features a freestanding clawfoot bath, walk-in shower with antique-style hinged screen and mirrored tiling, a vanity unit and WC.
