The Property
2 St James Close offers spacious flexible accommodation configured over two floors, to suit a wide range of buyers. It has been fully renovated and well maintained by the current owners, and sits on a good sized plot with private and established wrap-around gardens and plenty of parking. The design of the house allows for light to flood in through the many windows and creates a bright, airy home finished to a high standard and set in a lovely village location.
The open, wide hallway provides a grand entrance, large enough to house a grandfather clock, with the sitting room and kitchen/dining room opening off to the left. The sitting room is a very pleasant room in which to relax with French doors out to the front garden, an elegant, modern fireplace with coal effect electric fire and fitted display cabinets. The kitchen/dining room is a wonderful family and entertaining space with bi-folding doors onto the rear patio, which is perfectly placed for al-fresco entertaining and enjoying views of the garden. There is ample space in this room for comfortable seating in addition to a large dining table and chairs. The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted with an excellent range of wall and floor units, vast island bench and quartz worktops in a light, neutral colour palette, with integrated appliances including oven, combination oven and warming drawer, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and induction hob. Beside the kitchen is a smart, modern shower room and stairs lead down to the garage and a useful utility room offering further storage and laundry solutions with a door to the garden. Also on this level is a spacious bedroom with neat en-suite shower room and an external door. This room would make ideal guest accommodation or independent space for a teenager or lodger, or a play room, hobby room, office or home gym.
Up the oak and glass staircase, the first floor offers three immaculately presented bedrooms including the principal bedroom with wonderful views over the rear garden, fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room featuring a double size walk-in shower. The two further bedrooms are good sized and served by the well-appointed family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. On the landing, a hatch provides access to loft storage.
Externally
The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway leading to the double integral garage with electric control roller shutter door, power and light. The private, wrap-around gardens are well maintained with rolling lawns, mature trees, shrubs and perennial plantings with hedged boundaries. A large wooden shed/summerhouse sits to the side of the garden for storage and sheltered seating, whilst patios to the front, side and rear offer excellent opportunities for outdoor entertaining.
