Returning to the kitchen, steps lead down to the cellar, a convenient storage space furnished with shelving and also served by electricity for additional freezers. One cellar room also houses the new boiler, installed in 2023. Ideal for use as a wine cellar or conversion to a home gym, there is so much storage potential in the spacious cellar rooms.
Back in the entrance hallway, the wide, traditionally carpeted staircase leads up to the half landing, where on the left, soft green patterned tiles flow out underfoot in the bathroom.
Furnished with a chrome heated towel radiator, two large, frosted windows draw an abundance of light through, whilst a large bath is the perfect place to soak away your cares. There is also a separate shower cubicle with traditional shower head.
Continuing on to the main landing, on the left, arrive at the first of the bedrooms. Carpeted underfoot, this spacious double bedroom is overflowing with both light and storage, courtesy of handsome, original, built in cabinetry and a large window overlooking the patio directly outside.
Coming out of this bedroom, opposite the stairs, neutral carpet flows out in the second bedroom, where the high ceiling amplifies the light once more - a feature throughout the rooms. Light floods in through the large window overlooking the detached garden to the rear, highlighting the traditional picture rail high on the walls, whilst an original fireplace evokes the character of the home.
Continuing along the landing, biscuit toned carpet and cream wallpaper with a candy-striped feature wall can be found next door in the third bedroom. Another striking original fire evokes the heritage of the home, with its bottle green gloss tiling to the hearth. Light and bright, with views out over the front lawn and footpath, this room is a spacious sanctuary.
Once the fourth bedroom, laminate flooring and stained-glass feature window feature in the home office to the front, brimming with fitted storage. Stairs lead up from this room to reach the second floor, where the peaceful principal suite awaits.
From the landing, open a door through into the dressing area of the principal suite, where fitted wardrobes feature, and where Velux windows frame starlit views of the sky above. Eaves storage provides plenty of space for suitcases, with access also to the refreshing coastal-vibe ensuite, with silver tiling underfoot and blue tiling to the walls. Freshen up in the large shower cubicle, with wash basin and WC also available.
Exposed beams infuse character in this intimate retreat of a principal suite, where there is ample space for a super-king-size bed.
Outside, the mature garden extends to the front and sides, offering a slice of serenity, with lush green lawns, mature shrubs and trees, brimming with planting. There is also a plot of land forming a detached garden to the rear, with a variety of hidden seating areas to enable you to seek shelter, sunshine and shade throughout the seasons and with plenty of scope to grow your own.
