Entry is into a lobby with the guest cloakroom and then into the main reception hall where you get the first glimpse of the attractive interior.
Architectural features through the house include tall ceilings, deep cornicing, picture rails, dado rails, ceiling roses, deep skirtings, traditional radiators, fireplaces and elegant grand proportions.
A particular feature to the large hall (where there is ample space for furniture and considerable storage), is the stained-glass panels to the front door and the oak flooring which runs through to the family and sitting rooms as well.
To the front is the main sitting room of some 257 sq ft with a tall marble surround cast iron fireplace with gas flame fire and a full height bay window.
Glazed double doors lead from the hall to the rear reception/dining room where light pours in from the lantern roof light, triple window and double doors to the garden. This opens to the kitchen/breakfast room where the bespoke Shaker style kitchen is a feature with an extensive range of cabinets, integrated appliances, display shelves and feature splash back tiles. The granite surface extends to provide a breakfast bar and there is another lantern roof light. Tiled flooring runs through here with under floor heating and bi fold doors on two walls open to the garden and sandstone patio creating a connected indoor/outdoor space.
A further separate family room has a period fireplace with fitted cupboards, and there is a large utility room and additional WC.
Three of the five double bedrooms are to the first floor. The principal suite is at the front with the large bay window, oak flooring, attractive mirror front wardrobes with detail finish and there is a shower room with external window. The other bedrooms are to the rear with feature walls and oak flooring. These have use of the fully tiled family shower room.
The second floor is host to the two final bedrooms, a store room, the loft and a luxury bathroom. The bedroom at the front is large and features built in wardrobes and a Juliet balcony with floor to ceiling windows and door for far reaching views, and the rear bedroom is double aspect. The bathroom features large format tiling, a contemporary suite with inset bath, a walk-in shower and two windows.
Outside the garage has been repurposed to create a wonderful gym room with plastered and painted walls, cushion flooring and downlighters, and there is an external window.
The 187’ westerly landscaped garden is a delight with ambling beds, shrubs and trees with a large expanse of lawn.
