Description
Built in the 1950s, the house has been significantly extended and improved to meet the needs of the current owners. Features include double glazing, gas central heating, a well-positioned lift, and tasteful décor throughout.
The front door opens into a porch, leading to a wide hallway with staircase, a large storage cupboard for coats and shoes, and a concealed “wine cellar.”
The sitting room is a superb living space, with wide bi-fold doors that flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the garden. The lift is neatly tucked into one corner.
Adjacent lies a snug – a quiet retreat, perfect for reading or cosy winter evenings. Beyond is an inner hall with cloakroom, fitted with basin and WC.
The kitchen/breakfast room has tiled floors, fitted units, and integrated appliances including a gas hob, double oven, extractor, dishwasher, and wine fridge, with plenty of space for a dining table. The adjoining utility room has further units, a sink, the gas central heating boiler, and space/plumbing for laundry appliances.
