GROUND FLOOR The Entrance Hall has a very practical large storage cupboard, along with a large doormat inlaid into solid oak flooring which flows throughout the ground floor and welcomes you into the stunning handmade Christopher Peters kitchen.A beautiful bespoke curved island unit, with solid oak working surface, has plentiful storage and provides a focal point for entertaining, with seating for up to 5 people. The kitchen itself was created to house an American style fridge freezer, 120cm range style oven, and dishwasher, as well as expertly designed cabinetry to house washing and drying machines. The quartz countertops and the double Belfast sink finishes a truly wonderful kitchen space. The open-plan feel continues seamlessly through into the Living area which boasts 3 double-height original windows and a continuation of the solid oak flooring.
GROUND FLOOR CONT. The Living area is a wonderful space, with part vaulted ceiling and an abundance of natural light. The entire ground floor has been tastefully redecorated throughout and has been finished to the highest standards including state of the art smart lighting control system.A WC, off the Entrance Hall, completes the ground floor accommodation.
FIRST FLOOR Stairs lead from the Living area to the new Master Bedroom which has been created with the stylistic use of large "Crittal" style windows and double doors by Plain English, which allows all the natural light to flood the room. Fitted wardrobes and a dressing table area complete a very comfortable master. Originally with planning permission for this space to be 2 bedrooms, this could easily be divided into two smaller rooms, creating the 3-bedroom home it has permission to be. The resulting galleried landing then leads on to the contemporary Family Bathroom with bath and shower over. A second independent Double Bedroom has an original window, remote-controlled Velux window with rain sensor and built-in storage cupboard. The stairs, landing and bedrooms have all been newly carpeted, and the whole upstairs has also been tastefully redecorated throughout and includes the smart lighting control system.
OUTSIDE The shared gravelled driveway with off-road parking for two cars and electric car charging point leads to a pedestrian gate, giving access to a private enclosed courtyard garden laid down to gravel with planted borders; stairs rise to the main entrance door.
