The Property

The house is approached from the main road, across a gravelled forecourt with off-street parking for two cars leading to a storeroom/garage with double doors, and an electric charging point near the front boundary.

A part glazed front door opens onto a tiled vestibule with stained glass windows. A part-glazed door leads to the entrance hall, which offers Herringbone wood flooring, understairs cupboard and a trap door to the large cellar. Some ornate features include the arched opening and dado rail to the hall. The ground floor enjoys an impressive 3-meter ceiling height.

The drawing room is bright, with a large bay window to the front, the original cast iron fireplace and wall mounted, recessed bookshelves.

The rear-facing extension, cantilevered into the garden, has created the new lifestyle kitchen/dining/family room with access to the new decked terrace via the bi folding doors, which is a spacious, well-designed space, with the kitchen area offering tiled flooring and a modern, lacquered range of wall and base units with a quartz surface incorporating two stainless steel sinks, a large breakfast island with space for at least five bar stools. There is a wealth of integrated appliances within the wall units to include a five-ring gas hob with extractor hood above, dishwasher, two ovens and a fridge/freezer. A door leads to the guest cloakroom and a further coats room. There is another doorway that leads to a new laundry room which is accessible from the garden, and through to the side storeroom/garage which opens to the front forecourt, and a third door that leads to the side of the property and down steps to the garden level.

The rest of the space benefits from herringbone wood flooring with underfloor heating, and views over the rear garden via the floor to ceiling glazed surround, and access to the patio and garden via a set of glazed, bi folding doors and a further glazed, sliding door. A large skylight over the dining area brings in additional daylight into this already bright room.

The easy-rising staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms, a family bathroom, as well as the principal bedroom suite.

The principal bedroom benefits from a front-aspect large bay window, an original fireplace flanked by two sets of built-in wardrobes, and a fully tiled ensuite shower room.

A further easy rising staircase leads to the second floor, where two further bedrooms are located and another family bathroom. Bedroom five offers views over the rear garden and beyond through two dormer windows, while bedroom six has Velux windows to the front, a skylight and access to the under eaves storage. The second family bathroom offers a white suite comprising a wash hand basin, WC and a bath.

Outside, the decked patio accessed from the living/dining room leads down a set of wide decked steps to the garden level, where a larger decked patio is accessed via the side steps coming down from the kitchen area. There is also a raised garden bed under the cantilevered extension.

Mainly laid to lawn, the garden measure approximately 153 foot in length, with some shrubs, trees and bushes to the borders, and has potential to be developed and landscaped as per the incoming owners’ wishes.
