Description
The Tower House is a fabulous detached family house that stands centrally within lovely landscaped gardens close to the village centre. Since its construction, the current owners have modified the house to ensure that the very best day to day living environment can be enjoyed at all times.
The accommodation is set over three levels with the 'tower' section incorporating the staircase to the first floor.
A triple aspect sitting room boasts a lovely open fireplace, oak flooring and sliding doors which open onto one of the terrace areas. Whilst the house boasts many features of note, undoubtedly, the fabulous kitchen/diner/family room takes center stage. The whole area has been thoughtfully designed represents the 'hub' of the house.
The kitchen area is fitted with superb modern range of units, with integrated appliances, and has been ergonomically designed to take full advantage of the space and the wonderful central island. There is a TV area at one end and at the opposing end is a comfortable seating area for everyday eating! Off the kitchen is a good sized utility room with door to front.
Upon reaching the first floor landing, with its lovely varnished herringbone wood flooring, four bedrooms and two family bath/shower rooms can be found. The principal bedroom enjoys a triple aspect over the gardens and features a good bank of fitted wardrobes, whilst both bedrooms two and three feature a double aspect over the gardens.
The house is approached over a long driveway which provides parking for at least four cars. The gardens to the house have been carefully designed to take full advantage of the sunshine at different times of the day. In essence, there are three garden areas, the main area being level and laid to lawn and flanked by well stocked flower borders, paneled fencing and mature hedgerows.
At one end is a children's play area with summer house and a large garden shed for mowers etc. A timber pergola extends off the back of the house with a stone seating area below and edged with a lovely herbaceous bed. To the south westerly side is a lovely wood decked area which is a perfect space for outdoor entertaining.
