Description

A family house with immense character and charm, constructed from brick elevations under a pitched and tiled roof with timber double glazed windows. Origins date back to the early 1920's and the property has evolved during the many years of family occupancy. There includes a versatile footprint with scope to accommodate a dependent relative. There is also a detached, timber framed office ideal for home working.

The property has a good sized garden, sunny and private with timber fenced curtilages and the gardens are level and lawned and with a significant sun terrace. The present owners have been in occupation for 11 years, during which time, enhancements have been made and yet further opportunity remains.

A generous reception hall is the central axis with a solid Oak front door and further casement and half glazed door leading directly to the rear sun terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room is the social hub of this family home with a quarry tiled floor. The wall, base units and work surfaces are Pine with a country feel. There is a Belfast sink, plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a range cooker with extractor over. A wide opening leads to the formal dining area, notwithstanding there is also plenty of room to eat in the kitchen. The dining area features casement windows which overlook the Loggia to the front elevation and a hard landscaped garden. The living room includes a bank of floor to ceiling doors and windows opening onto the sun terrace with book shelving installed and a recess for the television.   There is also a utility with the prerequisite plumbing for the white goods and a cloakroom beyond.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms, the principal bedroom is dual aspect with casements and a velux and includes a range of built in wardrobes, eaves cupboards and a shower room. The second bedroom is well served by a family bathroom with a modern white suite. There are three further bedrooms on the ground floor which historically have been used as an annexe and one is currently a sitting room. A shower room serves the three bedrooms.

The property is approached via the drive with off street car parking for two vehicles and access to the garage, this is integrated with loft storage above. Adjacent is a very useful store room.
