Beautifully renovated family home.

Description

This wonderful family home has been beautifully extended and meticulously renovated to create wonderfully balanced living and entertaining spaces which are perfectly suited to modern family life. Set back from the road with off street parking and an attractive front garden, the house opens into a welcoming entrance hall which is laid with marble flooring and leads through to the living and entertaining areas.

At the heart of the house is a spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and family room which is laid with engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating and has been designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A large Westbury pitched glazed roof light and expansive Fabco Crittall doors flood the space with natural light and extend the entertaining space out to the garden beyond. The family area has been cleverly designed and features bespoke cabinetry and display shelving with an inbuilt media centre. The Devol kitchen is fitted with high quality quartz worktops, with a large central island unit and breakfast bar, along with high specification appliances including a Butler sink with hot water tap and a Rangemaster Range Cooker. Adjoining the kitchen is a well-appointed Devol pantry, providing excellent additional storage and preparation space, with a pantry cupboard, wine fridge, a double fridge freezer, as well as a cupboard housing a washing machine and tumble dry and a second sink.

Crittall doors lead off the kitchen into a reception room, laid with engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating - offering a warm and inviting atmosphere which is ideal for more formal entertaining, with a Chesneys marble fireplace with a bioethanol woodburning stove, picture windows and access to a downstairs cloakroom. The downstairs cloakroom has bespoke panelling, Chelsea Textiles wallpaper and benefits from a rooflight.

Returning to the entrance hall, a practical and well-designed boot room offers bespoke storage for coats, boots and outdoor equipment ideal for keeping the main living areas organised and clutter-free. To the front of the house is a further reception room and a separate study. The front reception room could be used as a family room or playroom and features a wood burning stove, bespoke cabinetry and an inbuilt window seat with storage underneath.
