Description
This delightful detached period property offers a perfect blend of character and comfort, set within beautifully landscaped gardens. Its charming brick elevations and classic design are complimented by bright and versatile interiors, making it an ideal family home. The house is thoughtfully arranged across two floors and includes a separate garage.
The ground floor features an inviting entrance hall leading to spacious living areas, including a comfortable double drawing room with garden views, a bright sitting room and dining room. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, offering plenty of workspace and a breakfast area, while the sunlit sitting room and dining room provide a connection to the garden through French doors. Additional practical spaces include a store room, shower room and cloakroom.
Upstairs, the first floor accommodates five generously sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and its own balcony overlooking the garden. A pretty family bathroom has views over adjoining college grounds.
From the downstairs sitting room a set of modern stairs lead to a further guest bedroom which has fabulous views of the garden and single bedroom which could accommodate children or be used as a study.
The gardens are a highlight, with well-manicured lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and mature hedging creating a tranquil setting. The property also benefits from a separate studio, ideal as a workspace, hobby room, or guest accommodation. A paved terrace provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
