Palmers Leys, Kineton, Warwick CV35

2 Palmers Leys forms one of five executive detached houses, understood to have been constructed in 2002. The property has been extensively and sympathetically modernised, refurbished and upgraded since 2011 by the current owners.

The front door sits beneath a timber porch and opens to a welcoming entrance hall with a beautiful staircase rising to the first floor. A door on the right opens to a delightful, triple aspect sitting room, benefiting from a large bay window providing views to the garden and a fireplace housing a wood burner. The entrance hall further provides access to a stylish WC, a spacious study, a generous dining room with a walk-in bay window to the front, and a cosy family room. To the rear of the property, the impressive kitchen/breakfast room is complete with a central island, a range of base and wall-mounted units with Silestone worktop, a twin Belfast sink with Quooker tap and an array of integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, wine cooler, bin stores and a large pantry cupboard with automatic lighting. This is complemented by a utility room and boot room, providing practical day-to-day functionality, while the adjoining, triple-aspect garden room offers an abundance of natural light, with glazed bifold doors opening to the private garden and stone-paved patio.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to an impressive Principal bedroom, with a spacious dressing room featuring an array of fitted wardrobes and shelving, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two further spacious bedrooms enjoy the benefit of fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms, and a family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms, both of which are generous in size and offer delightful views to the front and rear of the property.

A separate staircase, accessed from the bright and airy library, rises to a wonderful games room, a flexible space suitable for a variety of purposes, which benefits from a WC and access to eaves storage. There is a connecting door to a boiler room fitted with twin Worcester gas-fired boilers and a pressure hot water cylinder.

A gated, brick-paved driveway provides ample parking for several cars and access to a double garage.

The beautifully maintained garden is mainly laid to lawn and is bordered by shrub and herbaceous borders that provide colour and interest throughout the year. A stone-paved patio is accessed from the garden room and the inner hall, and provides a wonderful space for dining and entertaining.
