The impressive entrance leads into a naturally light-filled hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and leading to the lower ground floor. The well-appointed kitchen has a window and door to the rear aspect, inset butler sink and solid oak work surfaces. There are a range of attractive wall and base units with display cabinets and drawers, and a good size pantry. Integrated Siemens appliances include a double oven and dishwasher, with space and plumbing for a fridge freezer.
The main reception room is of generous proportions, with the open fireplace and wooden surround making a wonderful focal point. There are two large sash windows and a glass panelled door to the rear, leading out to the garden and allowing an abundance of natural light, along with a further window to the front. On the lower ground floor there is a further reception room which is a versatile space, currently used as an art studio, along with a cloakroom.
The spacious first floor landing provides access to the four spacious bedrooms and the family bathroom. All of the bedrooms have high ceilings, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an ensuite bathroom, built-in wardrobe and a window to the rear aspect. The second and third bedrooms are both double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, whilst the fourth bedroom is a good size single room with a window to the rear. The first floor accommodation concludes with the family bathroom.
The property also benefits from a cellar measuring 17‘4' by 9‘4' which is ideal for storage.
Outside
The property is accessed via an iron gate, with the low maintenance front garden contained behind distinctive railings which add to the kerb appeal of this remarkable family home.
