4 bedroom house

This beautifully modernised home has recently been subject to an extensive program of refurbishment and now provides modern, flexible and light-filled accommodation across two floors offering the perfect environment for both entertaining guests and family living.

Of particular note is the open-plan reception area, accommodating formal dining and relaxed seating, adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast area, with bi-fold doors giving access to a generous orangery where glass panes to ground level give a sense of being outside, with the comfort of being within the home. A separate drawing room offers a quiet, relaxing space, with a fireplace and wood-burning stove for chilly days and, on the opposite side of the hallway, a study and office provide for home-workers. The ground floor accommodation also includes a sun room, which takes advantage of the southerly aspect, a utility room with storage and space for appliances, and a cloakroom.

Bedroom accommodation is provided on both the lower and upper levels of the home, with two en suite bedrooms on the ground floor, one with walk-in wardrobe, along with a family room which could provide an additional bedroom if required. A staircase gives access to two further bedrooms, both with en suite facilities.

Brick pillars mark the entrance to the property, giving access to a generous driveway and newly-built double garage. The front garden has been landscaped with a pebbled area surrounded by perennials and shrubs, with a crab apple tree at its centre producing a colourful red blossom in the spring. There is a further border with evergreen hedging and mature shrubs and specimen trees. The rear garden is equally well-designed, with a paved terrace bordered by rose bushes and other planting and having access points from both the kitchen/breakfast area and the orangery, The garden is laid to lawn with borders to the boundaries and an area dedicated to those with green-fingers wishing to cultivate vegetables and fruit. In addition there is an area of garden to the side of the property with two wood stores and a fruit cage. This area provides a secure location behind high lockable gates for boat/caravan storage.
