The Property description
Enter the property through the front door into a hallway where the downstairs cloakroom can be found on the right. The cloakroom has a window to the front, WC and a unique circular stone sink and waterfall tap. Straight ahead is the staircase which rises to the first floor. To the left is the door into the main living room.
The living room is a large room which measures 21 ft in length. It is therefore a fantastic space for a wide range of living room furniture and could even accommodate dining room furniture if desired. There is a large window to the front and a gas fireplace providing an attractive focal point in the room. There is an archway which leads into what would most likely principally be the dining room. The room has a window to the side and tiled flooring. It could also be successfully used perhaps as an office or even a playroom. Although currently this room is a thoroughfare to the kitchen, with relative ease and in-expense a stud partition wall and door could be built which would create a completely closed off room, whilst still providing access to the kitchen.
The kitchen faces the back of the house and its south facing orientation. It is therefore an incredibly light room all year round. As well as a large window overlooking the rear garden, it also has the added benifit of double patio doors which lead directly onto the garden terrace. This successfully enables ‘outside in’ living in the warmer months. The kitchen has tiled flooring and is fitted with; good quantity of cream wall and base shaker style units, work surfaces, under counter lights, a stainless steel sink and drainer unit, integrated double oven, and integrated four ring Hotpoint electric hob with extractor above. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine, a dishwasher and a free standing fridge/freezer in the kitchen. There is also space in the kitchen for a dining room table and chairs, so this room could then become a Kitchen/Diner or a Kitchen/Breakfast Room if desired.
Stairs lead up to the first floor from the hallway where three double bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found. The main bedroom faces the rear of the house with a cupboard which houses the boiler and hot water cylinder and also provides some extra storage. Bedroom 2 faces the front with a large window, and Bedroom 3 is again a double and faces the rear. The family bathroom is modern with smart and contemporary wall tiles, white bathroom suite of bath with mixer taps and shower over, inset wash hand basin, floating WC and a useful storage ledge
