At the heart of the kitchen, a large central island doubles as a breakfast bar and conversational hub, with sleek glass-fronted cabinets and a wooden-topped counter for sharing meals and a glass of wine at weekends. With fitted day-and-night blinds (remotely operated), a large Range-style cooker, mood lighting and switches for the garden lights to create serene evening views, every detail has been carefully considered.
A separate utility room offers direct access out to the side, with space for laundry baskets on the worktops and a handy fridge, alongside a sink and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, perfect for busy family routines.
From the entrance hall, ascend the grand, bifurcating staircase, which rises on both sides to a large and light gallery landing.
Soak and sleep
Taking the stairs to the right, bedroom five awaits. A bountiful double, with built-in wardrobes, views extend over the garden to the rear.
Next door bedroom four again features built-in storage, capacious in its proportions and sharing in the serene views out over the private garden with its feature lighting at the rear.
Continuing clockwise around the landing to the left, bedroom three with its soothing heather tones is cosily carpeted and brimming with light from the large bay window, again offering shelving and hanging space in the built-in wardrobes.
Offering so much space for all the family, the bedrooms at Clovelly are spread out to provide a sense of privacy, with a large area on the gallery landing spacious enough for a sofa, snooker table or even the addition of a sixth bedroom should you desire, with a window overlooking the front.
Tucked peacefully away on the left, with views out over the pretty planting to the front, the principal suite is a private sanctuary; spacious and suffused in light. A feature fireplace adds warmth and character, creating a cosy focal point within the room. A wall of built-in wardrobes and drawers leans into the gentle slope of the eaves, offering abundant storage, whilst the refurbished ensuite is elegantly tiled and furnished with a double walk-in shower. Ample space for perfumes and bathing essentials can be found in the vanity unit beneath the wash basin and side wall.
Refreshment for all awaits in the family bathroom, where a large jacuzzi bath invites indulgent soaks from upon its pedestal. A separate shower, WC and twin wash basins with storage also feature.
With a large, boarded loft accessible from a hatch on the landing, storage is a true highlight of this home, with a large linen closet also to be found on the landing.
Privately positioned at the end of the landing, bedroom two is the ideal guest suite, spacious, bright, served by its own ensuite containing bath, wash basin and separate shower and WC.
Private, peaceful and perfect for family life
Step outside from the kitchen onto the spacious decking, drenched in sunlight in the summertime and the ideal spot for summer dining or watching the children play.
Beyond, a wide lawn stretches out, bordered by colourful beds of mature shrubs and framed to the rear by a handsome and rustic redbrick wall that infuses character whilst providing privacy and shelter. Subtle garden lighting and fairy lights add ambience, while an outdoor fireplace, cleverly repurposed from an old cottage chimney, makes for magical evenings under the stars.
To the side, a gravelled path winds gracefully along the home, edged with vibrant planting and enclosed by a charming wall, offering a sense of privacy and security. A neatly tucked-away shed provides handy storage. Come spring, the garden comes alive with colour and texture, setting a peaceful scene for family life, children's play, and outdoor entertaining.
