Utterly charming whilst also seriously stylish, this superior family home blends heritage tones, period features and contemporary design. Opening onto beautiful south-west facing gardens its layout has a sophisticated sitting room, a magnificent kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors to the patio and a versatile play/loft room.

With a classic garden gate nestling beneath the cut-out archway of high hedging that naturally gives a cherished degree of privacy, this exceptional Sturt Avenue home immediately captures your attention. Picture perfect on the outside, sophisticated yet family friendly on the inside, it effortlessly allows the contemporary design of an extended three storey layout to stay true its original architecture. Superbly cohesive, its attention to detail beautifully matches rich heritage hues with the anthracite framing of bi-fold doors and the stylish gazebo, while modern column radiators are sympathetically chosen additions.
Step inside from a quintessential canopied entrance and you’ll find a notably light and bright hallway leading the way to a superior sitting room with the classic curve of sash bay windows. Elegant cornicing wraps-around the ceiling adding a crisp white contrast to sultry blue hues, and a wrought iron period fireplace supplies a wonderful focal point.

The warming tones of the hallway’s first class engineered wood floor flow into a magnificent double aspect kitchen/dining room that is undoubtedly a very special place to spend time together. Designed to allow the gardens to add a fantastic backdrop, an expanse of contemporary bi-fold doors connects you with the equally broad paved patio, and the spacious proportions of the dining area easily accommodates a relaxed seating zone with room to spare. Subtly delineating this hugely sociable open plan space, the wrap-around design of the outstanding kitchen is perfect for day to day family life and entertaining friends. Supremely well-appointed with both painted and wood Shaker cabinetry it offers every convenience. Black granite countertops provide plentiful workspace, integrated appliances include tower ovens, a gas hob and cylindrical ceiling extractor, and a timber topped bar stool overhang is ideal for that all important morning coffee. As a further example of the attention to detail that flows throughout, pale blue wall panelling complements the Shaker design of the kitchen and heritage of the house, while plinth lighting adds a subtle glow in the evenings. A matching utility room has side access, and a cleverly incorporated cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The exemplary presentation and notable sense of space is echoed on the upper two storeys where four double bedrooms and a play/loft room provide a wealth of flexible family accommodation and the option to have a dedicated home office/study.

A marvellous main bedroom has tasteful fitted wardrobes and a hugely calm and restful feel. Arranged in a dove grey metro tile setting, its luxury en suite adds an enviable finishing touch with twin floating basins and a fabulous glass framed waterfall shower. Together the additional three rooms share an excellent family bathroom with a high sloping ceiling and a freestanding modern bathtub with telephone taps, an exposed riser and rosehead shower.

Engendering an easy flowing extension of the ground floor, the bi-fold doors of the kitchen/dining room unfold onto a brilliantly broad paved patio. Beneath the establish boughs of climbing Wisteria it extends across to a canopied gazebo that’s a heavenly spot for al fresco dining. Clipped Buxus frame a duo of square flowerbeds and feature trees and shrubs pepper and border the large lawn giving plenty of height and texture. With high fencing and hedgerows lending plenty of privacy, these south-west facing gardens produce the ideal excuse to sit back and leave the hubbub of the day behind you.

To the front of the house, colourful shrubs sit behind the gated frontage providing a welcoming introduction. Its evergreen hedging keeps your home hidden from passersby, while to the side a detached garage and commendably sized private driveway with an electric car charging point supply of off-road parking for several vehicles.
