Shelburne Road - The Home

A composite front door opens into the entrance porch, which features attractive porthole windows to either side and a tiled floor. A further door leads into the welcoming entrance hallway.

The entrance hallway has a parquet floor and staircase rising to the first floor, together with useful under-stairs storage. Doors lead through to the main reception rooms, kitchen and utility/boiler room, providing a practical and spacious introduction to the home.

The main sitting room is positioned at the front of the property and benefits from a large double-glazed bay window, allowing natural light to flood the room. An open fireplace with hearth and surround provides an attractive focal point, whilst the high ceiling adds to the feeling of space.

Also positioned at the front of the house is the formal dining room, again enjoying a large double-glazed bay window. A chimney breast houses an inset electric fire, complemented by an electric wall-mounted heater.

The third reception room is a particularly versatile family space, with double-glazed patio doors opening directly onto the garden and French doors leading through to the conservatory. This provides a useful connection between the main house, garden and additional living space.

The conservatory enjoys plenty of natural light from its double-glazed windows and has doors leading directly out into the garden, making this an ideal space for relaxing and enjoying the outlook throughout the year.

Outside

The gardens and grounds are undoubtedly one of the property’s greatest features. The exceptionally generous plot has been established and carefully maintained over many years, creating a wonderfully mature and private setting that is particularly well suited to family life.

The gardens include a variety of established trees, plants and shrubs, together with a garden pond, raised beds, paved seating areas and quieter corners in which to relax.

To the front of the property is a detached double garage with power, lighting and up-and-over doors, together with an extensive driveway providing ample off-road parking.
