The property is well positioned on a charming road, providing an attractive first impression. Internally the house is equally well appointed and benefits from a number of premium features, which complement a relaxing and timeless décor scheme. The house is immaculately presented and ready for immediate occupation. Downstairs there are two reception rooms, including a cosy sitting room at the front of the house with a wood-burning stove and a separate, light-filled family room which is open plan to a dining room and kitchen. The latter has an AGA stove and wood floors, with doors leading to the rear garden providing the ideal space for entertaining in the warmer months. An adjoining utility room has space for laundry machines, and there is a useful cloakroom tucked under the stairs.
The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, including two generous doubles on the first floor together with a smaller double bedroom and a family bathroom. On the second floor there is a lovely principal suite with its own bathroom and south-facing Juliet balcony affording far-reaching views over the garden and beyond.
Outside
The house is set behind a private driveway with further parking available on Barnfield Road. Steps lead down to the front door and around the side of the house to the rear garden, which has a favourable southerly aspect and is landscaped to suit families and couples: an elevated terrace enjoys lovely views down the garden and leads to an area of lawn bordered to either side by mature trees and shrubs. At the end of the garden there is a detached office and shed, fronted by an area of gravel. This offers storage and the ideal homeworking space which could work equally well as a playroom, gym or studio.
