Ground floor
Dyke Road Avenue boasts an appealing approach.

On entering, a generous entrance hall welcomes you into this attractive home.
Beautifully decorated in the famed Louis XVI style, the generously sized open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room is embellished with intricate cornicing, a striking curved bay window and exquisite parquet flooring. The room spans the full depth of the property and enjoys an east/westerly aspect, taking complete advantage of the sun throughout the day. A contemporary-style j-pull kitchen follows a classic ergonomic design; a large island unit provides additional storage, food preparation and breakfasting space. From here there is access to the integral garage which provides enough space for two cars comfortably, with further room available on the driveway. Centrally positioned within the property, this room is truly the heart of the home.
There is a second well-proportioned reception room/study, a highly versatile space which could be easily adapted into a snug, play room or home gym. An additional home study, w/c and utility complete the ground floor of this considerable home.
