Ground floor
Benefiting from a full and thorough refurbishment within the last five years, Hawthorn is an immaculate example of what is possible with a touch of vision in a traditional stone property.

Combining exposed stone, modern technology, attention to detail and stylish choice of fittings, you will not be disappointed when walking into this home. Met initially by the utility room, which has ample storage and space for boots/pets, you will note the control displays for both the solar panels and ground source heat pump evidencing the environmental credentials of the house. Next you are welcomed into the family kitchen and one of the hubs of the house. With underfloor heating and a substantial wood burner, the kitchen is both warm and well lit with views to both the front and side garden. Bespoke units, a boiling water tap, wood effect vinyl flooring, inbuilt appliances and well proportioned storage space displays the careful thought put into the kitchen design.

Moving through the house on the ground floor, there is a modern bathroom with roll top bath, shower and toilet with wooden floor and views to the rear of the house. The first family lounge is next offering a comfortable space to relax, before moving to the main lounge which benefits from another large wood burner and French doors providing access to the garden. An intriguing twist to Hawthorn is the quirky hidden door taking you through to another room capable of use as a double bedroom, study, playroom or workspace.

Upstairs
Moving upstairs, the attractive wooden and metal staircase leads to the recently installed family bathroom (with shower and toilet) and then on to the landing where you will find three well lit double bedrooms offering plentiful space for family and guests. It should also be noted that Hawthorn benefits from breathable spray foam insulation in the loft and accessible roof space which ensures both a warm and comfortable environment for occupants, notable by the lack of jumpers required vs what might be expected in a traditional granite house!

Externally
Externally Hawthorn benefits from an attractive and manageable south facing garden space, with areas laid to grass and various levels to explore. A newly installed wooden shed offers storage storage for gardening equipment and to the rear of the house you will find the solar pv panels. Keen gardeners will be attracted to the potential for developing the garden further and taking advantage of its size and space.

We would absolutely recommend viewing to fully appreciate the unique offering available at Hawthorn.
