IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You’d be happy to own this thoroughly modernised house, with its thoughtful layout, considered décor, and light and airy ambience. The combination of original and modern features, exemplified in the contrast between the enclosed porch and traditional hallway, and the huge open plan main living space on the first floor, gives the house the best of both worlds – a welcoming mix of enclosed and open spaces.

Unified by a stunning stripped wood floor, the ground floor living space is generous. The main open plan area divides easily into lounge, dining and kitchen areas with abundant space for each. The lounge area at the front of the house has excellent natural light from a large west-facing bay window with bespoke plantation shutters. The dining area beyond has garden views through large glazed sliding doors that open onto the deck and create a seamless transition to the outdoors. The kitchen opposite also has garden views though a window above the sink which is centrally placed in the U-shape of fitted cabinets that house discreet integrated appliances and are topped with a wood worktop.

The first floor has a more traditional feel with cosy carpeted floors on the stairs and landing and in the three bedrooms. The two front bedrooms (one of which is the main bedroom, a large double) have bay windows with plantation shutters, whilst the double bedroom at the rear has garden views framed by a large picture window. The family bathroom has a stylish combination of blue-painted and white metro-tiled walls, and is fitted with a bath (with a shower), washbasin and WC. An obscured glass window provides good natural light and ventilation.
Outside, the stylish low-maintenance landscaped garden has smart fencing and a large L-shaped deck that wraps around a lawn with beds and two impressive specimen trees.
