STEP INSIDE – On entry a striking panelled vestibule and hallway lead through into the ground floor of the property where two reception rooms and the open plan kitchen/dining room are situated. Neutrally decorated, the inviting hallway forms a graceful, easy flow to the rest of the rooms and sets the tone for the home.
GROUND FLOOR – The dual aspect, south facing main reception room sits at the front of property and benefits from an abundance of natural light through its imposing square bay. Reflecting off the neutral toned walls the light flow bounces around the room highlighting the pine floors and bringing a natural warmth and energy into the space. Plantation shutters enable the light to be streamlined and controlled. An open working fireplace adds an inviting feel and is a point of focus, lending a cosiness in the colder months. Two elegant, leaded, stained glass windows, inset into the alcoves of an arch that houses the fireplace, provide charm to this otherwise peacefully relaxed and uncomplicated room.
A beautifully bright second reception /study room sits adjacent, is east facing overlooking the patio and the external mature plants and trees through its substantial square bay window. This room presents with an almost colonial feel. Plantation shutters, antique pine floorboards and neutral décor meld together perfectly to provide a sophisticated ambience. One wall has been given over entirely to book shelving making this the perfect place to study. In addition a glazed door opens out onto the east-facing patio.
The well-appointed connecting kitchen/diner sits at the rear of the property overlooking the patio and the terraced garden. The dining space has a double set of French doors which open out onto the flag stoned patio/seating area with steps up to the lawn.
The well-equipped kitchen is fitted with blonde wood, shaker style eye level and base units with contrasting black gloss work tops and an impressive range. This is the perfect family space where children can sit and do their homework at the table or play out in the garden while supper is being prepared.
FIRST FLOOR – On the first floor of the property a sizeable south facing master bedroom is beautifully lit by a picture perfect square sash bay window. A second sash window means the room is flooded with light. A wall of built in wardrobes ensures storage is not an issue in this softly stylish setting. Neutrally decorated with a feature wall adding impact.
Bedroom two sits adjacent enjoying an east facing aspect, generous proportions and a striking square bay window. Neutral décor reflects the natural light, built in storage cupboards provide practicality. An ideal sleep space.
The family bathroom and two further pretty bedrooms are situated on this floor, one double and a fourth currently utilised as an office space.
The family bathroom is practical and bright with white décor contrasting with a sea green mosaic tile surround to the shower and bathing area.
SECOND FLOOR - Accommodation is arranged over three floors in total, with the loft having been skilfully converted to a superb master suite with a luxury bathroom and separate double bedroom. The bathroom is bright and fresh with a double sink in wood surround, shower cubicle with rainfall shower and freestanding bath. The bedroom is currently being used as an art studio due to its amazing light. This storey also benefits from eaves storage as well as additional storage cupboards.
STEP OUTSIDE – The outside space has been cleverly designed to incorporate a raised terrace planted with well-established trees and shrubs and laid to lawn. This creates an excellent entertaining area with steps up from the patio joining the two spaces together. There is plenty of space for table, chairs and barbecue, power and light, on both the patio and the lawn.
A useful gated side access leading to the rear of the property is ideal for bringing bikes and garden equipment in and out.
