The property is accessed from the street via a large front door, leading into a reception area featuring a wall of wardrobes that provide hanging and shelving space.
A glazed door leads into the kitchen/dining room. This is a bright and airy room with a parquet wood floor and two sets of windows that look out to the front. It also features a glazed door leading to the reception area, which has a glass ceiling that allows light to pass through.
The kitchen offers a good range of cream wall and base units, topped with a wooden work surface housing a bowl and a half stainless steel sink. There is also a kitchen island providing more drawer space and a breakfast bar. All the appliances are free-standing. A clever space-saving idea is the installation of a projector and using the blinds as a screen.
Glazed double doors lead through into the living area, which is set in the striking glass rear extension. A slate-tiled floor and a door lead out to the garden.
A sliding door leads through to a downstairs cloakroom with a W.C. featuring a concealed cistern, a wash basin with a mirror above, and a wall-mounted heated towel rail. The area under the stairs also serves as a handy utility area, with space for a washing machine. There is also the Bosch combi Boiler and fuse board.
The fabulous staircase leads up to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The landing has a Juliet balcony overlooking the reception room below. The first bedroom is a good-sized, spacious bedroom with a wall of fitted wardrobes, providing ample hanging and shelving space, and it features a window to the front.
The second is a slightly smaller double bedroom, also with a window to the front.
The family bathroom features a tiled floor and partially tiled walls, a bath with a ceiling-mounted overhead shower, a shower screen, a WC, a wash basin with a mirror above, and two windows.
On the top floor is the master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. In a hotel style, there is a freestanding bath and basin open to the bedroom and a separate loo. There is under-eaves storage and two Velux windows set in the roof.
The garden is ideal for evening drinks, featuring a paved area directly off the house and a very manageable lawn with an apple tree. The garden has well-stocked borders with various plants trained against the walls.
With thanks to Needful Things in Castle Cary, a real treasure trove for home-ware, for lending us a few soft furnishings for the photos.
