Step Inside Tastefully and sympathetically presented, from the original period detailing to the contemporary wet-room bathroom, every aspect of this home is finished to a beautifully high standard. GROUND FLOOR - The covered porchway opens onto a large hallway that instantly generates a fantastic sense of space. Beautifully lit by the curves of a wide bow window, a classic log burner sits within the exposed brick fireplace creating an instant focal point in the large main reception room. The dark tones of its original wood floor adds a rich contrast to the crisp white walls and the elegant period detailing that stretches across the ceiling, while the generous proportions offer ample space to relax as a family. The warm shades of the hallway's engineered wood floor flow from into a large open plan kitchen/dining room that is the real heart of this home. Well-appointed, a wealth of tasteful white Shaker-style cabinets create plenty of storage in the large kitchen area offering an array of integrated appliances and space for a range cooker. Solid wood countertops wraparound to form a convenient breakfast bar and the wealth of floor space flows onto a family sized dining area where a beautiful period fireplace reminds you of the original charm and character of this home. Wide bi-fold doors open onto the large landscaped garden allowing the lovely movement of natural light to continue, and perfectly extending this sociable space still further. Offering plenty of versatility as a gym room or guest bedroom, a well-presented study provides the perfect space for those who work from home, and a WC with its stained glass window completes the ground floor. UPSTAIRS - The soft stripes of the staircase carpet lead you past a feature stained glass
window and up to the first floor where four equally well-presented bedrooms add to the sense of space. Looking out over the landscaped rear garden from its wide window, the master bedroom offers a calm and peaceful feel. The soft heritage tones and a feature patterned wall continue the stylish design theme that flows throughout this home, while the white wood floor allows plenty of natural light to bounce around the room. Echoing the proportions of the main reception room with its wide bow window, the adjacent double bedroom provides plenty of space for freestanding furniture. Feature navy blue patterns create a classic contrast to the crisp white floorboards and period picture rail of the third double bedroom, while a large single bedroom offers further views of the rear garden. Well-proportioned, the contemporary family bathroom offers a sense of luxury with its wetroom shower and wall-hung basin. Latte metro tiles encompass the modern bath with its sidefiller tap, while the stone mosaic tiled floor adds a refined finishing touch.
Step Outside Beautifully planted flowerbeds of colourful Pieris, Camelia and Muscari, to name but a few, border a well-maintained lawn creating a welcoming first impression and plenty of colour and interest throughout the seasons, while a private driveway provides convenient off-road parking.
