Ground floor

Dyke Road Avenue boasts an appealing approach. An immaculately presented grey tile, yellow brick and white plaster frontage is framed by a large slate roof; set back from the road behind a large carriage driveway and a mature garden, the property has a pleasing, almost symmetrical façade. On entering, a generous entrance hall welcomes you into this attractive home.

Beautifully decorated in the famed Louis XVI style, the generously sized open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room is embellished with intricate cornicing, a striking curved bay window and exquisite parquet flooring. The room spans the full depth of the property and enjoys an east/westerly aspect, taking complete advantage of the sun throughout the day. A contemporary-style j-pull kitchen follows a classic ergonomic design; a large island unit provides additional storage, food preparation and breakfasting space. From here there is access to the integral garage which provides enough space for two cars comfortably, with further room available on the driveway. Centrally positioned within the property, this room is truly the heart of the home.
There is a second well-proportioned reception room/study, a highly versatile space which could be easily adapted into a snug, play room or home gym. An additional home study, w/c and utility complete the ground floor of this considerable home.

The staircase runs up from the rear hallway hall and gives access to all first-floor rooms from the landing. There are seven double bedrooms on the first floor, the main suite benefits from a modern en-suite shower room, an abundance of handy built-in cupboard space and a large west facing balcony. The two second largest suites are again fitted with in-built wardrobes and contemporary en-suites. An amply sized family shower room of equally modern design is centrally situated between the remaining bedrooms.
