Property Insight:
Set in the popular village of Clifton, this exquisite period property has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled to create an elegant and spacious home which is perfectly suited to modern family life.
From the moment you set eyes upon The Dairy, this home creates a striking impression. With its attractive façade and extensive, gated driveway, first impressions of the property set great expectations for the interior. And it certainly doesn’t disappoint! The solid oak front door opens into a wide entrance hall finished with marble-effect floor tiles and calming, neutral tones. The entrance hall sets an air of quiet and spacious luxury that flows throughout the entire property. From the beautiful oak staircase with glass balustrade to the stylish chrome electrical fittings, great attention has been paid to the finishing details throughout.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning, and incredibly spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room - a light-flooded space that’s perfect for entertaining friends or simply gathering as a family. The kitchen features sleek Shaker-style cabinetry in soft grey tones, complemented beautifully by white quartz worktops and marble-effect floor tiles. Integrated appliances include double wall-mounted electric ovens, an induction hob and fridge-freezer. The expansive dining/family area features vaulted ceilings, skylights and more than ample space for a large dining table and chairs. Wide bi-fold doors open directly on to the patio and garden, making it a fantastic setting for summer entertaining. With plenty of storage and even an additional sink, this fantastic showpiece space is as practical as it is stylish.
The generous sitting room leads off from the dining/family area and offers a more relaxed, yet equally stylish, atmosphere. This dual-aspect room enjoys large windows that fill the space with natural light, including an attractive bay window – one of the original features of the house. Decorated in elegant neutrals with a plush dove-grey carpet, the room has some lovely features, including a bespoke bookcase and a log burner, which is wonderful for curling up in front of during the winter months. It’s a calm and comfortable room, ideal for unwinding after a busy day or enjoying family evenings together. Completing the downstairs are a modern utility and cloakroom - handy additions for any busy family.
Upstairs, the sense of light and space continues. A spacious landing leads off to four well-proportioned bedrooms (three double bedrooms and one single) which are beautifully presented in soft, neutral tones. The large principal suite benefits from a dressing area with built-in wardrobes, bay window and a fully tiled, contemporary ensuite shower room with walk-in shower and modern white suite. It’s a peaceful retreat, ideal to relax and unwind at the end of the day. The guest bedroom is another airy room with plenty of space for furniture and its own fully tiled, contemporary, ensuite shower room. The third double bedroom features an attractive panelled feature wall, whilst the generous single bedroom would also make a fantastic home office. The stunning family bathroom is finished in striking marble-effect tiles with a contemporary white suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, creating a luxurious spa-like feel.
Outside, the 108’ x 71’ east-facing garden is a lovely feature. A large, paved terrace provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or summer dining, leading down to a large lawn bordered by mature hedging for privacy. It’s an ideal space for children to play or enjoy a spot of football practice. It’s also a fabulous setting for entertaining friends on warm evenings.
A wide, gated gravel driveway provides secure off-road parking for several vehicles, completing this superb family home. Offered chain-free, with planning permission for a double garage and additional bedroom in addition to a study/playroom (CB/22/04536/FULL). The Dairy combines elegance, flexibility and modern comfort in one of Clifton’s most desirable village settings.
