Description

Constructed in 2002 by Michael Howard Homes and influenced by 18th century Georgian style and architecture, the property is the largest design on this popular development, providing beautifully presented and light-filled accommodation. The property has fine symmetrical elevations including a classical portico and provides brick elevations under a slate tile roof. The accommodation is very spacious with well proportioned rooms and high ceilings rising up to 12 feet.

A fine reception hall includes a feature staircase rising two floors and is overlooked by galleried landings. The principal reception room offers direct access via double doors on to the rear garden and access to an enclosed study. On the opposite side of the house a dining room to the front would easily substitute as a family room and lies adjacent to the magnificent kitchen and utility room. The kitchen is comprehensively with a range of light-coloured units, work surfaces and appliances. The room is open-plan to an orangery which enjoys light-filled accommodation exemplified by deep windows framing lovely views of the garden.

On the first floor there are four large bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite extends the full depth of the house and includes a dressing area and large en suite bathroom. On the second floor there is a two-bedroom suite which, with minimal alteration, may suit as a self-contained teenager's flat with each of the two rooms having access to an en suite facility.

The property is approached via a gated driveway spanning the length of the house and leading to a detached double garage of pitched roof design. Extending from the orangery and sitting room is a wide east-facing terrace seating area with the remainder of the garden laid to lawn. The garden has been neatly planted with a range of trees and shrubs.

Square Footage: 3500 sq ft
