Constructed approximately 30 years ago, the house has since been cleverly reconfigured and modernised with contemporary fitments, whilst exuding charm and character.
Upon entering, one immediately appreciates the exposed wooden floorboards throughout most of the ground floor and beautiful solid doors with vibrant stained-glass panels. Very few homes boast such versatile accommodation, on the ground floor there is an office and cosy cinema room complete with mood lighting, perfect for relaxing in the evenings.
To the rear of the house there is a dining area with bespoke doors to the garden.
The open plan living room has a spectacular vaulted ceiling, showcasing oak beams, full height glass walls allowing natural light to illuminate the many features of the room. A prominent fireplace with open fire and exposed brick wall, and double doors lead out to the first garden patio.
The contemporary kitchen has been carefully designed with integrated appliances, breakfast island, and has a door to the west facing garden, leading to a small lower patio area that catches the sun throughout the late afternoons whatever the season. There is access to a useful utility area and cloakroom.
The charm and character continue to the first floor, where all three bedrooms are not compromised and have access to a beautifully appointed bathroom. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and has a modern Ensuite. There is a useful reading space which could be extended to create a fourth bedroom with professional plans currently drawn and subject to permitted planning regs
The property is graced with a mature, secluded west facing garden, housing an array of beautiful flowers and shrubs. There are extensive patios perfect for summer entertaining and summerhouse or 2nd home office. The rear gardens come alive at sunset with automated subtle lighting across the external beams, patios, and summerhouse.
To the front, the meandering path leads to well-manicured lawns with established trees and hedges. There is ample parking for several vehicles in the form of a gravel drive and detached double garage complete with power and light. Again, the driveway, gravel path and front of the house have professional fitted subtle lighting that allows the area to come to life when guests arrive.
