Description
Believed to date back to the mid 1800’s, Leighton house is a wonderful example of an extended family home. Recent modernisation and enhancements have been carried out to a high standard, resulting in a comfortable and welcoming space.
Accommodation
Through the useful porch area, and through the front door, you will find a striking double height hallway with feature staircase, and galleried landing. This versatile area could be used as office space, or additional seating/play room. At the end of the hallway is a utility room with space for your appliances alongside further storage.
Off the hallway, there is a deceptively large sitting/dining room. The current owners have made clever use of the space, utilising the area at the front as a dining area which is flooded with light, while the sitting area boasts an impressive wood burner, and TV area, creating a cosy space to unwind.
Up a small step, you enter the impressive kitchen/ dining area.
*
At one end, soft grey shaker style kitchen cabinets are topped with striking marble worktops, fitted motorised pop-up power points and speakers. With the addition of a new window at the rear above the sink there is further connection to the garden. A clever fitted pantry allowing the kitchen to maintain a streamlined look. Adjacent, you’ll find an American style fridge freezer, and two Neff Ovens . The kitchen provides access to both the rear and side of the garden through double doors and brings light through the space. At the opposite end of the kitchen is a dining area making it perfect for family meals.
**
Upstairs, you’ll find four well proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles. Bedroom two benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the master has a beautiful ensuite, with walk in shower and underfloor heating. Along the landing you will find the main family shower room, which offers a lovely walk in shower and underfloor heating.
Outside
The front of the property is laid to lawn, with a paved path leading to the front door. There is a gravelled driveway and a side border of shrubbery.
Behind wooden double gates is a fully insulated garage/workshop with adjoining office space totalling 37sqm. This could provide additional ancillary accommodation to the house. The rear office space benefits from underfloor heating and is perfect for working from home or visiting guest.
Adjacent to the garage you will find a cleverly designed garden area.
*
The owners have thoughtfully zoned the garden into different areas, providing a fantastic entertainment space for a multitude of uses. You will find a wooden clad, open fronted summerhouse with a built-in bar area, space for seating and a log burner with mains power and aerial points. There is a patio that can be accessed through the double kitchen doors, that is the perfect space for alfresco dining. You’ll also benefit from having a designated hot tub area, ideal for an evening of relaxation.
