The kitchen and breakfast room
A sociable hub for everyday living, this space combines preparation and informal dining areas with ease. Cream shaker style cabinets and granite effect worktops form a U shaped arrangement around a ceramic sink set beneath a wide window and herringbone flooring ties the space together. An archway links the breakfast area to the sitting and a door leads to the dining room. A dado rail and coved ceiling lend character and the rear lobby gives access to the garage and cloakroom.

The dining room
Designed for gatherings and special occasions, the dining room is a formal space at the heart of the home. A decorative ceiling rose and coved ceiling provide subtle detail. A sliding glass door opens into the sitting room, while an arched opening leads to the living room and a door to the breakfast room, creating an effortless connection between reception spaces ideal for entertaining and family meals.

The living room
Positioned at the front of the home, the living room offers a welcoming setting for relaxation. A stone fireplace with mantel provides a focal point and a large picture window frames views of the frontage. Decorative corbels and an arched opening lead through to the dining area, allowing conversation to flow between rooms and creating a sense of openness. From here, the staircase leads to the first floor.

The sitting room
This flexible rear reception is perfect for family time or entertaining. French doors open directly onto the paved patio and garden, extending the living space outdoors. An internal sliding door links to the dining room and an archway connects to the breakfast area, enabling the room to function independently or as part of the open plan layout.

The cloakroom
Conveniently positioned in-between the kitchen and garage, the cloakroom provides facilities for family and guests. It is fitted with a pedestal wash basin set against a tiled splashback and a low level WC. Half height panelling and a dado rail lend visual interest, while a wood effect floor and extractor fan complete this practical room.

The primary bedroom
The principal bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary on the first floor. A wall of fitted wardrobes with sliding doors provides extensive storage and incorporates a dressing table with mirror. A large window lets in soft morning light, and the room is finished with coving that enhance the sense of space.

The second bedroom
This generous double bedroom enjoys a wide window overlooking the garden. Practical touches include a ceiling hatch providing loft access and a useful built in cupboard. The simple layout allows plenty of space for wardrobes and other bedroom furniture.

The third bedroom
Another spacious double room, the third bedroom has a broad window and its elongated shape provides flexibility for sleeping and study areas, making it ideal for family memebers or guests.

The fourth bedroom
Currently arranged as a dressing room, this single bedroom would also serve as a nursery or study. Full height fitted wardrobes offer excellent storage. A window keeps the room bright, while coving provides a finished look.

The bathroom
Occupying the width of the house, the family bathroom is unusually spacious. A walk in shower with clear glass screen sits alongside a separate panelled bath, and a vanity unit provides concealed storage beneath the basin. Two frosted windows allow natural light while maintaining privacy. An arched opening divides the bathing and washing areas, and half tiled walls give a clean, fresh feel. A low level WC completes the suite.

The garden
The rear garden is designed for relaxation and easy maintenance. A broad paved patio runs across the back of the home and steps down to a level lawn framed by mature hedging and colourful shrub borders. Paths on either side lead to a raised seating terrace and a timber shed is discreetly placed in one corner. A Victorian style lamp and shaped topiary add character, and the high hedges ensure excellent privacy.

The driveway and parking
To the front of the home a wide tarmac drive provides parking for two vehicles and leads to the integral garage with up and over door and power. A neatly edged lawn with decorative planting and a flowering tree enhance the kerb appeal.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained.
