When entering this home, you're immediately greeted by the incredible glass entrance hall which is so beautiful! The hallway to the left-hand side will lead you to the play room/snug and to the wonderful open plan kitchen/diner/family room! This space is perfect for family life and for entertaining, especially with the bifold doors that open onto the garden. There's so much character in this room, from the exposed brick and stone to the original 19th century beams in the kitchen. This handmade kitchen boasts beautiful granite countertops and multiple integrated appliances including a dishwasher, a Smeg range cooker and a Belfast sink with Quooker hot tap. There's also space for an American fridge freezer and a spacious walk-in pantry. Just off this open plan room you'll find the WC and the utility/boot room which has a stable style door to the garden and boasts a Belfast sink and space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. A door just off the kitchen leads to the cosy living room with log burner. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a lovely fire in winter. A door from the living room opens into the playroom/snug which leads back to the entrance hall, so the property flows very well. From the entrance, the hallway to the right-hand side will lead you to the extension which has a lovely second sitting room with French doors to the garden and a log burner. There's also a spacious office and access to the single tandem garage which boasts a sink, a workbench and an electric garage door.
There are two staircases in this property. The main staircase is located between the kitchen and living room and leads you to three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom is stunning and offers a large walk-in wardrobe, a lovely en-suite shower room and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The family bathroom also boasts a fantastic four piece suite. The second staircase can be found on the other end of the house, by the second sitting room and office. This leads you to two double bedrooms and a Jack and Jill four piece en-suite. These bedrooms are perfect for teenagers who want their own space! This section of the house would also make a fantastic two bedroom annexe as a kitchenette could easily be added on the ground floor.
The property sits on 0.2 acre and has such a beautiful rear garden. The spacious terrace is perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining.
