Description

Annapurna is a beautifully presented house offering light-filled, well-balanced accommodation, having been tastefully modernised and extended over the last decade. The result is a superb contemporary home set in a highly convenient location, with excellent access to local amenities and wider transport links. The property is finished to a high standard throughout, having retained its characterful original parquet flooring, to complement the tasteful décor. Underfloor heating has been installed to the impressive kitchen dining room conversion – bringing added comfort.

The accommodation is arranged around four versatile reception rooms. The sitting room features a log burner set in an elegant stone fireplace as a focal point. It enjoys a dual aspect, with light streaming from the bay window through to bi-fold doors opening onto the lawn. A separate study provides an ideal work-from-home space, while a playroom offers further flexibility. It flows seamlessly into the family room, which is an inviting area for relaxed everyday living. The stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room makes a striking impression, with high ceilings and a substantial rooflight enhancing the sense of space. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry by Hacker, quartz worktops and a full suite of integrated appliances, it also features a central island for casual dining. Laid with modern porcelain flooring, there is ample space for a dining table. Bi-fold doors span the rear elevation, opening onto a generous deck that extends the living space outdoors for effortless al fresco entertaining. A utility room provides space for laundry and leads to a useful storage room with side access to the gardens.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a luxurious en-suite with freestanding bath and separate shower. There are three further double bedrooms and a further stylish family bathroom.

Outside
This home is set back from the lane behind low brick walls enhanced by laurel hedging, offering privacy and a delightfully, leafy first impression. Entered via five-bar gates, the spacious driveway is laid to gravel and provides ample parking. The property boasts a particularly attractive brickwork façade, with leaded windows and traditional timber-clad roof dormers. The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and immaculately maintained and is accessed via a side gateway. Enclosed by mature shrubbery and fencing, the space has been thoughtfully zoned to provide an area of lawn bordered by flower beds and a spacious, raised deck adjoining the main living area. The deck has room for both relaxed seating and dining beneath a charming horse chestnut tree that provides dappled shade.
