Tucked behind a private lawned front garden, framed by mature hedges and well-stocked borders, this home offers a sense of seclusion from the moment of arrival. A paved driveway leads to the side garage, while a sleek black door invites you into a home rich in personality.
Step inside and the entrance hall unfolds with warmth. An original stained-glass window casts coloured light across the space, a nod to the home's heritage. The wooden flooring flows through to the entrance hall, complemented by an inset mat, perfect for wiping away the day. Spacious and well-lit, the hallway offers under-stairs storage for everyday essentials and sets the scene for the rest of the home.
To the right, oak doors open into the open-plan lounge and dining room, a flowing, sociable space designed for modern life. At the front of the home, the lounge area is carpeted in soft neutral tones, with a large window that frames views of the garden and verdant scenes beyond. Light pours in, lending the space a calm, airy feel, perfect for peaceful evenings or lively gatherings.
Drift across to the dining area, where the wooden flooring from the hallway continues seamlessly. Another large window overlooks the extension to the rear, creating a light-filled spot ideal for mealtimes or peaceful morning moments. Together, these rooms feel both generous and grounded, spaces that evolve with the seasons and adapt with the day.
Return to the hallway and continue through glazed oak doors into the kitchen, where style and function meet in perfect harmony. Underfoot, plank-style tiles nod to the rustic character of the home, while a Velux window above elevates the sense of space. A large window to the side and glass doors leading out to the deck complete the feeling of openness and flow.
The kitchen cabinetry is practical and stylishly designed, with wood-effect worktops that add a feeling of warmth to the room and anchor it in natural tones. Integrated NEFF appliances, including a washing machine, dishwasher, gas hob with extractor, oven, and AEG fridge freezer, ensure that this kitchen is fully equipped for everyday living and entertaining. There's a handy pantry beneath the stairs and a cosy family seating area tucked at the rear, where the original stone wall of the home has been thoughtfully preserved, adding a slice of history into this contemporary space, making it charming and quietly captivating.
Return to the entrance hall and take the stairs, softly carpeted in a neutral tone that continues throughout the first floor. As you rise, another beautiful stained-glass window adds a sense of artistry and heritage to this home.
The principal bedroom sits to the front, a spacious and serene room with fitted wardrobes and ample space for a super king bed. Views stretch out over the front garden to Holcombe Hill in the distance, allowing a gentle connection to nature every morning.
The second bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, is equally generous. Also fitted with wardrobes, there's space here for a double bed, bedside tables, and a full suite of bedroom furniture.
The third bedroom is currently styled as a single room with a trundle bed, showing off its flexibility. Blue carpet adds a gentle pop of colour, and its space offers opportunities as a guest bedroom, nursery, or home office, whatever life may require next.
The family bathroom is split for convenience. A separate WC sits adjacent to the main bathroom, where white tiling is elevated by an accent tile. A light blue paint adds a wash of peaceful colour, while a radiator brings comfort and warmth.
The main bathroom houses a mains-powered shower over the bathtub, complete with a useful storage cupboard tucked in, ideal for linens and towels.
Step out onto the wooden deck from the kitchen's family seating area, and the garden gently unfolds. A few steps lead down to a well-kept lawn, with a pathway stretching to the side of the house. Here, a paved area creates an additional outdoor space, ideal for a bench, plant pots, or a quiet morning coffee. There's access to the garage, too, and around the side, a further lawned area wraps the property in a sweep of greenery. With mature shrubs, clever zoning, and the potential to personalise, the garden truly becomes an extension of the home.
