Description:

Built in the 1950s, Biliwings is a beautiful family home with flexible living accommodation across two floors.

Entering through the double doors into the porch, the built-in storage provides ample space for boots and coats. Moving through the tiled floor entrance hall is the utility room with plumbing for washing machine and hidden sink.

Natural light pours through the glass panelled door leading into the kitchen. The kitchen, of QKS design, has granite worktops and built-in appliances comprising Rangemaster, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. Beyond the kitchen is a large pantry cupboard and the breakfast seating area with bay window overlooking the garden to the south. Off the kitchen is the family room with French doors opening out onto the dining terrace and family play area.

The hallway benefits from understairs storage and the main front door adjacent to which is the formal dining room with wooden flooring and beautiful views through the bay window. Flowing through into the dual aspect sitting room a stone fireplace houses a log burner and has built-in storage either side. French doors lead onto a second dining terrace to the south-west.

Rising to the first floor the Principal bedroom enjoys beautiful views over the garden and the Hills & Holes beyond. The ensuite has both bath and separate rain-head shower, and heated towel rail. The dressing room, with skylight, has built-in wardrobes and vanity.

From the galleried landing to the east is a double bedroom, also with charming views of the surrounding countryside, and built-in wardrobes. Passing a separate WC and a bathroom, to the rear is a third, single bedroom. With views over the north garden.

Returning to the ground floor, to the north-east of the property is a shower room and separate WC and two ground-floor double bedrooms, one of which has French doors onto the garden.

A set of rear stairs rise to the first floor where there is an office with two skylights and a view over the driveway.

As it stands, Biliwings offers flexible living accommodation with annexe potential. The family home also benefits from approved planning permission to extend the kitchen as well as creating larger bathroom facilities to the ground floor and extending the current bedrooms as well as creating a larger family bathroom and separate laundry room to the first floor.

Outside:

Biliwings is approached via a gated, gravel driveway which also benefits from an electric car charging point. To the rear of the driveway is a beautiful Horse Chestnut and pink, peach and yellow climbing roses soften the exterior of the family home.

A laurel hedgerow divides the driveway from the formal lawn, the latter being flanked by landscaped boarders from Soto Gardens, featuring the Soto White design, brimming with a variety of seasonal plants from hellebores and hydrangea to fox gloves and astrantia.

Three cherry trees, flowering at different times of the year, silver birch, and box balls add further structural interest to the garden.

The lawn abuts the south-west dining terrace, aligned with lavender and roses, and the pergola seating area, with shade provided by the large bay tree, before wrapping around Biliwings to the north where there is a further dining terrace and children’s play area.
