3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Elegant and Homely

Sense the peaceful position of this handsome hamlet of homes. Beyond the iron gate stands Number Five, set behind a neat thatch of low maintenance artificial grass and seating area. Soak up the crimson and gold sunsets from this peaceful position. Stone quoins and an austere period door, topped by a transom inscribed with the number of the home, set the scene for the immaculately decorated and styled home beyond.

Culinary Excellence

Entering the open-plan kitchen diner, you are immediately embraced in the heritage and homeliness of Number Five, where spacious rooms, high ceilings, bold sash windows, deep recesses and elegant cornicing are recurrent motifs throughout. Skimming stone colour walls create an ambient mood, with natural limestone flooring underfoot, both practical and pleasing to the eye. Decorating a corner wall and set within the original fireplace, the wood burning stove offers an aesthetic focal point, imbuing the room with warmth. An array of bespoke wooden cabinets provides plentiful storage for cooking essentials, topped in granite work surfaces and complementary splashback tiling. Integrated appliances include fridge-freezer, double oven, gas hob, washing machine and dishwasher.

Spaces with Potential

Continue through the oak glazed door into an inner hallway, where a staircase ascends. An external glazed door to the side leads to a small courtyard and steps descend to a separate, dry cellar with potential to convert to a handy office, gym or bedroom, subject to planning.

Illuminated Spaces

Return to the inner hallway, where a cloakroom is available for visitors, before continuing into the inviting sitting room. Light serenades the space through two large sash windows, with views out to a courtyard which can be accessed through the ‘official’ glazed front door. Elegant and stylish parquet flooring is soft and warm underfoot, whilst the contemporary wood-burning stove issues toasty warmth throughout the wintertime. Where better to hunker down and enjoy time with family and friends?

And So To Bed

Retrace your steps along the hallway, taking the curving staircase up to a landing brimming with light, courtesy of large sash windows. Turning to the right, a sash window frames views out to an attractive tree, spilling light through into the doorway of the first bedroom opposite. Currently serving as a study, it could also make a wonderful nursery. Continuing along to the front of the home, discover the second bedroom, a bright and bountiful room courtesy of a trio of tall sash windows. Light and spacious, warm decorative tones help create a relaxing and soothing mood. Immaculately decorated, in the theme of all the rooms at Number Five, note the textured tiles behind the bath with overhead shower; evocative of rippling white sands. Karndean flooring provides a warm contrast to the crisp white suite.

Refresh and Revive

Slumber and rest await in the principal suite, located at the rear of the home and with evocative views over the fields; such an idyllic setting. Oatmeal carpet lies beneath high ceilings in this spacious and soporific bedroom, served conveniently by a pristine en suite. Tastefully tiled in vintage patterns to the walk-in shower, with Karndean underfoot, this en suite is well served by shelving, a wash basin and lavatory.

Step Outside

Morning coffee and breakfasts can be enjoyed in one of the home’s two courtyards. Why not sit back and unwind in your north west facing rear garden at the end of the day or dine al fresco? Enter this private, exclusive development, turning into a cul-de-sac where block paving leads to your garage and driveway.
