Description

This wonderfully presented family house has been meticulously extended and updated in recent years and offers a home full of character and charm. Brackens has been thoughtfully designed to provide accommodation for both family life and entertaining, inside and out.

The attractive reception hall, with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor, is complemented by a cosy seating area, perfect for a quiet read. A games room to the front is well designed to incorporate both a seating and bar area, with bespoke cabinetry and plenty of room for a pool table. A charming snug lies adjacent, with panelled walls and further built in cabinetry. Across the hall a formal sitting room extends the depth of the house, with a feature fireplace with an open fire and French doors on to the outside terrace. Double doors lead into the superb kitchen/breakfast/dining room, the hub of the house and the perfect family space. The kitchen is well appointed with a comprehensive range of units with Silestone worktops and appliances including a gas Aga, combination microwave oven, built in fridge, two dishwashers and a wine cooler. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and a cleverly designed mobile breakfast/outside bar works brilliantly providing a flexible space. French doors give access to the garden and bi-fold doors open on to the wonderful entertaining terrace outside. Just off the kitchen is a walk in pantry/utility area which leads through to a useful boot room with door access to the front and rear gardens.

On the first floor are five characterful bedrooms and a luxurious family shower room. The principal bedroom overlooks the frontage and benefits from a fully fitted dressing room and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. There is a guest bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms all have built in wardrobes.

Outside
Nestled towards the end of a no through private road, Brackens has an attractive frontage, with a gravelled driveway giving off street parking. The southerly facing rear garden is an absolute delight, mainly laid to lawn and landscaped with well stocked beds and borders. In the corner is a superb studio/home office, with an outside decked area and a built in desk and cabinetry inside. A real feature of the house is the wonderful decked terrace accessed from the kitchen, which includes an oak framed gazebo giving a semi-open roofed space, incorporating a built in barbeque, drinks fridge, remote controlled pop up television and space for a sofa, perfect for all year round outdoor living. Further seating areas include a patio just off the kitchen and a decked terrace in the far corner. The garden also benefits from a storage shed, outside lighting and is screened with hedging and fencing giving a good deal of privacy.
