Description

Byerly is a superbly presented attached period property, believed to have been originally built as the stables for the Searle Estate, and subsequently converted into three houses.

The beautifully presented accommodation is mainly arranged on the ground floor, and offers practical living space; it has been cleverly converted, offering a wonderful combination of contemporary style and striking architectural features including elegant arched windows and a central pillar support in the spacious open plan sitting/dining room. There is plenty of storage, including a wine cellar set into the kitchen floor, and the house has the benefit of a wood burning stove in addition to oil-fired central heating.

The kitchen is stunning, with an excellent range of bespoke painted wood cabinetry under quartz worktops. There is a central island with an oak butchers block, complemented by high end appliances including a Rangemaster double oven with induction hob.   

To the rear of the siting room are three good-sized ground floor bedrooms, served by a bathroom with walk-in shower, bath and double basin.

On the first floor is a luxurious principal bedroom suite comprising bedroom with dressing area, a recently refitted en suite bathroom, and a private balcony.

Byerly is set well back from Bell Lane, and accessed via a private track over which the property enjoys right of way. To the side of the house is a gravelled private driveway offering parking for approximately four cars.

The pretty rear garden is a particular feature of the property. It is fully enclosed and has side access and a timber garden/wood store; the rear elevation of the house is a substantial decked terrace with plenty of space for table and chairs creating an ideal space to enjoy the gardens. The lawn is flanked by well-stocked beds, and beyond the lawn is a shingled sunken terrace.
