The Property
Stepping through the front door of this charming house, the modest grandeur and classic styling that runs throughout the property are instantly apparent. Suffolk paments underfoot and the original staircase remind us of a Jane Austin era, with doors from the hallway opening to all of the main living spaces. Set to the right we find the first reception room, a formal dining room currently serving as a snug/library. A large sash, bay window is framed with wooden shutters and fills this room with natural light. A wrought iron feature fire offers a warm focal point to this bright room.

Back in the hallway a door opens to the rear into the kitchen/breakfast room. Hand-made units with granite worktops sit above the Italian tiled flooring with space for a range style cooker and large fridge/freezer. A door then opens to the inner lobby where we find the utility room and stunning Italian-style ground floor bathroom. This echoes the attention to detail executed throughout. A free-standing bath offers a focal point to the room whilst a separate walk-in shower, w/c and wash basin are set against tiled flooring and walls.

Passing back through the kitchen we enter the hub of the house: the sitting/family room flows from the kitchen, ideal for family living and entertaining. Exposed timber floors line the room with a wood burning stove taking centre stage. To the front, a large bay window offers a double aspect with French doors at the rear opening from the dining area out to the patio. To the left is a guest bedroom or office which offers an impressive space enjoying windows to the side and French doors onto the garden. A small cellar underneath the dining area provides additional storage or opportunities for a wine cellar.

Back in the entrance hall we climb the original staircase to the first floor landing which enjoys a view of the rear garden through two windows where natural light pours onto the stairway and entrance hall below. Two generous double bedrooms mirror each other facing this popular street and meadows beyond. A single bedroom overlooks the garden, and the shower room is tted with a classic white suite with contemporary tiled oors and walls.

Outside
Approaching the property from Flixton Road we pass by the wrought iron fencing that forms the boundary and arrive on the generous gravel driveway which offers ample parking and access to the detached garage. A path leads us to the ornate blue painted front door framed by the white 'Pillars'. The front garden is bordered by a variety of beds planted with shrubs and small trees to provide some privacy. At the rear we step from the house via doors in the kitchen, sitting/family room and guest bedroom onto an extensive patio that spans the rear of the property, framed by a low set wall and shallow borders. Steps lead up to the lawn passing below a delightful rose arch to the main garden.The garden provides a generous yet manageable space enjoying a variety of planted shrubs and bushes set to the surrounding beds with mature trees forming the backdrop. Barn style doors open to the large garage and a door to the side accesses the attached garden store.
