Detail

The handsome facade starts with a generous front garden, big enough to retain attractive planting as well as off street parking (the ideal spot for a future electric car charging point). The front door is approached via a pathway bordered by a scented plant - a welcome first impression. An entrance porch, with south facing glazed roof, offers side access through to the rear garden, as well as an opening into the large central hallway. Once inside it’s hard to ignore the impressive extra-width reclaimed wooden floors that feature throughout the hall and most of the ground floor. The layout provides a great flow, with the hall opening to the right into the principal reception. This impressive room has a large bay window - inset with original stained glass - a working period fireplace, and ornate plasterwork Next up at the front is the second reception - this flexible room can be used as a home office, children's playroom… or in this instance a personal passion! At the rear of the property, there is a fantastic family/entertaining space, as the dividing wall has been removed, making an impressive and full-width space that opens via French doors to the rear garden. This room again enjoys tall ceilings, adding to the feeling of space - while the solid wooden kitchen adds rustic charm and careful choice of colour, maintaining a comfortable and homely sense. An all-important utility room, flooded with light via a Velux window, leads off the kitchen offering additional storage, including useful shaker hooks and a small larder. There is further access to the rear garden from here and a downstairs WC - a spectacular room complete with designer sink. Stairs lead up from the central hall to the first half-landing where the first of five bedrooms is found. Ascend a further couple of steps up, where three additional double bedrooms and a large family bathroom all open up from the light-filled central landing with a large Velux above. Of particular note is the very well-appointed and stylish bathroom with decorative reclaimed accents. A free-standing roll-top bath adds a touch of luxury while a large wet room-style shower enclosure is a welcome addition. A further flight of stairs leads up to the fifth bedroom and access into the large half-boarded loft space - this gives excellent storage and further potential to extend the property, subject to planning consent.

Outside

The 40ft / 12m walled garden enjoys a westerly aspect and, given the properties corner plot location, a greater sense of privacy as it is not overlooked. After undergoing a thoughtful landscaping project, there is now a generous patio extending from the house, ideal for summer dining. An attractive maturely planted upper section is completed with raised planters, a wildlife pond and further paved area the current owners use for a chicken coop. The garden is completed by a covered side return which offers useful storage for garden equipment or BBQ.
