About The Gables
The property bears an original date stone of 1914, built at the end of the Edwardian period and bears many of the traditional features of the time including high coved ceilings, deep skirting boards and ceiling roses. The property was subsequently refurbished circa 2007 with great care taken to retain the original integrity of the building whilst creating light modern living spaces.
It is of traditional stone built construction beneath a beautiful rosemary tile roof which was replaced at the time of the refurbishment works. The property is also extended to the rear which in turn has opened up the lower ground floor space to create a flexible living / studio space and garden room.
The property is entered via a hardwood entrance door the hallway which features stairs to the upper and lower floors. There are two living rooms here both being of good proportions. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of modern fittings and is open plan to a further living / dining room at the rear of the house. Oak flooring is laid throughout this level.
The staircases are wonderfully enclosed within a bay to the side of the building. On the first floor you will find 4 good sized bedrooms served by a bathroom and shower room. At lower floor level the accommodation continues and features a utility room plus 2 inter-connecting rooms which could meet a variety of uses such as a music / cinema room and garden room.
From the garden room glazed sliding doors open out to the attractively landscaped outdoor space which is designed to be low maintenance. Steps from here lead up to a timber decked terraced seating area above the garage. The garage itself is accessed via a right of access over the adjacent private driveway and has ample space to park 2 cars with additional storage space too.
