A separate door provides access to the covered terrace. A bespoke timber/glazed screen divides the hall from the breakfast room, which in turn forms part of the kitchen, with double doors opening out onto the part covered side terrace, ideal for entertaining. The bespoke handmade kitchen has cabinetry housing a fitted fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Leading off the kitchen is a ‘walk-in’ larder room with shelving. In addition there is a range cooker and on the opposite side is a cloakroom and a utility/boot room housing the oil fired boiler which opens into a covered parking area. From the hall, steps lead down to electrically operated sliding glass doors providing access to a multi-purpose room (study, gym, media room) which is ‘top lit’ by an attractive glazed lantern incorporating an electrically operated blackout blind.
The main staircase leads from the entrance hall to a galleried landing providing an upper floor Snug/Seating area. To either side are four bedrooms. The main bedroom has exposed stonework feature windows and is fitted with built-in wardrobes, cabinetry, and display shelving, as well as benefiting from an en suite shower room, as does the guest bedroom.
Externally there is an enclosed walled garden to the front of the house with lawn, shrub borders, maturing trees and a terrace for alfresco dining.
