Sitting back from the leafy foliage of New Road behind a prodigious gravel driveway, Little Timbers is set to the backdrop of capacious gardens stretching down to statuesque trees. Engendering an enviable measure of privacy and seclusion, whilst being within easy reach of renowned schools and commuter links its excellent layout has a tasteful blend of timeless elegance and contemporary design.
Behind a double fronted facade with hung tiles and a canopied doorway, a large central hallway instantly hints at the space within, unfolding onto a ground floor that demonstrates a wonderful understanding of light and space.
To one side a generous family room has the capacity to cater to your own needs and lifestyle while to the other an outstanding living room proffers ample space in which to relax and spend time together. The rich dark blue of the chimney breast adds a deep dash of colour and whilst a wood burner with York stone hearth nestles beneath a floating solid oak mantel a second recess cleverly keeps a store of logs close at hand without encroaching on the room.
The notable dimensions flow into a magnificent kitchen/dining room where oak clad beams stretch out under a vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors allow beautifully landscaped terracing to engender an easy flowing extension of the house. With sunlight filtering down from a duo of skylights a refined aesthetic sees soft grey Shaker-style cabinetry topped with blue pearl granite in the kitchen. A fitted pantry cupboard denotes an attention to detail, a butler sink lends charm and integrated appliances provide every convenience with additional space for a dishwasher. A central island with bar stool seating subtly gives definition and unity to the open plan layout, the accomplished L-shape of which wraps-around and extends into a versatile study where a further door to the terracing makes it irresistibly easy to step out into the summer sun.
A separate utility room provides space for laundry appliances hidden from view and a ground floor cloakroom is ideally placed for guests and days spent in the garden.
The sense of space continues upstairs where four light filled bedrooms with leafy vistas and fitted wardrobes supply flexible accommodation for a growing family. Generating a peaceful retreat from the hubbub of a busy day, a principal bedroom opens into a deluxe en suite shower room where fitted cabinetry adds a pop of colour. Together the additional three rooms share a tastefully contemporary family bathroom that has an L-shaped bath with an overhead shower.
Outside
Reaching down to a glorious vista of colour and greenery, the tranquil sunny south-facing garden combines exemplary landscaping with a quintessential English country garden feel. The bi-fold doors of the open plan kitchen/dining room give you every excuse to enjoy al fresco entertaining on a paved terrace framed by inset planting and finished with a gently raised tier stretching out beneath the dappled shade of an expansive timber pergola.
To the side, a detached studio prompts a host of options with its main seating space, en suite shower room and kitchen area. The garden also plays host to a selection of newly built additions, including a large shed with power, a smaller storage shed, and a newly constructed greenhouse, also with power, offering excellent space for hobbies, gardening, or further storage needs.
A classic picket fence with a central gate delineates the immaculate terracing from an established lawn bordered by colourful and leafy shrubs within lovingly tended beds that sweep out in broad curves, giving you the chance to create peaceful seating spaces hidden from view. Perfectly clipped high hedgerows enhance the level of seclusion, and the majestically tall trees to the rear give shelter to the ideal spot for a trampoline and playhouse.
To the front of the property, traditional rustic fencing lines an admirably large gravel driveway that has private off-road parking for numerous vehicles, as well as a car port that offers covered shelter and added practicality. This generous frontage also provides a coveted sense of distance from the tree-lined environs of New Road.
