OVERVIEW:

A central front door with attractive stained glass panels - to include the house name proudly displayed - opens into an entrance hall, where a wide staircase ascends to the first floor.

To the right, the sitting room impresses both with its balanced proportions and authentic turn-of-the-century features, comprising decorative ceiling cornicing, picture railing and attractive fireplace with painted wooden surround, patterned tiled slips and wrought iron grate. A box bay window looking out over a gravelled garden area to the front, ensures that the space is bathed in a superb quality of natural light.

Across the hall, a striking dining room benefits from its own box bay, together with a painted brick fireplace with wooden mantle, display niche and inset log burner. Stripped floorboards, cornicing and picture railing emphasises the period allure and a door opens to a useful understairs' storage cupboard with power and light.

Stretching across the rear of the house with a picturesque outlook over the garden, the open-plan, kitchen/breakfast room forms a sociable everyday family hub. Encompassing a full range of fitted base/wall cupboards with composite counters and tiled splashbacks, this relaxed and versatile space incorporates a peninsular island breakfast bar as well as space/connections for a full range of everyday appliances. A separate utility/boot room provides space/plumbing for a washing machine, additional tumble dryer and houses a wall-mounted gas-fired Vaillant boiler. A deep butler sink is a practical addition and there is plenty of space for storing shoes and coats. From the utility a door opens to a useful cloakroom styled with tongue and groove panelling to dado height, equipped with a close-coupled WC and stainless-steel heated towel warmer.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a lean-to garden room.

To the first floor, a horizontal landing links the sleeping accommodation: The principal bedroom is a stand-out feature, with its striking combination of wall panelling and recessed display shelving, complemented by fitted wardrobes to one wall equipped with a considered mix of rails and drawers. A drop-down hatch from this room accesses the useful loft space.

Two further double-sized bedrooms have been thoughtfully fitted with wardrobes, whilst a fourth bedroom – perfect as a child’s bedroom – is presently utilised as a study, enjoying a most pleasant outlook over the rear garden.

A full bathroom conceived in a stylish industrial theme completes the accommodation, encompassing a large enclosure with a duo of shower heads, WC, contemporary washstand and inviting double ended bath paired with a floorstanding mixer tap. A heated towel rack reinforces the design accent.

The property impresses equally externally with its blend of level lawns, established planting and terraces positioned to soak-up the sun at differing times of the day, a recent stylish addition being the parterre-style gravel garden, complete with sleeper edged raised beds ready to be planted to taste.

To the rear section of the garden, a versatile outbuilding houses a fully insulated gym with power, lighting, heating and hard-wired Wifi connection, coupled with a workshop and garage which can be accessed via a driveway to the side of the property.

Regular driveway parking for up to four vehicles is located to the front.
