Higher Island, Blackawton

A lovely detached family home offering beautifully presented accommodation, combining contemporary styling with flexible living spaces, generous parking and delightful gardens enjoying a sunny south-west aspect. Situated within a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the popular village of Blackawton, this lovely property is perfectly suited to modern family life.

Occupying a good sized plot, The Burrows has been thoughtfully updated to create a light-filled home centred around a wonderful open-plan kitchen and dining space. Large windows and French doors bring the outside in, while the adaptable layout provides excellent flexibility for growing families, those working from home or anyone seeking accommodation suitable for guests or multi-generational living.

Outside, the property sits in a beautifully established garden, a private driveway providing additional parking, a garage and several areas designed for relaxing or entertaining.

The front door opens into a welcomimg reception hall, where Karndean flooring flows through the main living areas. Practical storage has been carefully considered, with both an airing cupboard and a concealed utility cupboard providing space for laundry appliances.

The kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home. Finished with Quartz work surfaces and a substantial central island, the kitchen offers an excellent range of fitted units together with space for a range-style cooker and American-style fridge freezer. The adjoining dining area provides ample room for family meals and entertaining, enhanced by French doors opening directly onto the terrace.

A generously proportioned sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, creating a wonderfully bright living space. French doors lead out to the garden, while a wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.

A separate study offers an ideal home office, hobby room or children's playroom.

The bedroom accommodation has been cleverly arranged in two distinct sections of the house. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the second double bedroom sits alongside and is served by an elegant family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.

From the kitchen, an inner hallway leads to the remaining two bedrooms. Bedroom Four also enjoys its own set of French doors opening out to the garden. These bedrooms share a contemporary shower room, making this part of the house equally well suited for older children or visiting guests.

A private driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage, complete with a useful mezzanine storage area. A further garden shed offers additional storage for tools and equipment.

The gardens have been lovingly maintained and provide a wonderful extension of the living space. A paved terrace enjoys a sunny south-west orientation and is perfectly positioned for outdoor dining, barbecues and evening entertaining. Beyond is a level lawn framed by mature planting, creating both privacy and year-round interest.
