Description

The house is tucked away at the end of a private drive and overlooks protected woodland. Internally a programme of upgrading and 'on-trend' interior design provides a beautifully presented and spacious family home, designed for 21st century living.

An impressive hall, enhanced by high ceilings, a feature throughout the house, is finished with a tile floor. To the left is an imposing lounge exemplified by panelled walls incorporating a fireplace, deep cornice and a herringbone wood style flooring. Deep windows provide a good deal of natural light.

On the opposite side of the hall is a playroom, again finished with a wood style floor and also featuring a 'hole in the wall' contemporary gas fire. Taking centre stage, is the kitchen/family room, bespoke fitted with shaker style units painted in beautiful tones wrapping around an island. Integrated appliances include a bank of ovens, induction hob, extractor, and a dishwasher. With light tiling, big windows and French doors, the room is light and airy. Adjacent is a cloakroom and utility room.

The bedrooms are arranged over two floors, providing the flexibility to use the upper floor as an 'apartment'. The first floor has three large bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room. The principal bedroom suite runs the full depth of the house with a dressing area and highly appointed en suite bathroom, including TV. The family bathroom includes a bathtub, walk-in shower and is finished with marble effect tiles. On the second floor are two further bedrooms and a large shower room. This area is easily utilised as an 'apartment' using one of the bedrooms as a living room.
