The house has been beautifully modernised by the vendor and is presented to a very high standard in a countrycoastal style, which is enhanced further by the property’s excellent natural light. The rooms feel wonderfully light and airy thanks to the large windows which let in lots of sunlight and look out over the pretty gardens. A highlight of the house is the provision of storage: there are a number of cupboards in the entrance hall, a stunning bespoke handmade kitchen with lots of roomy cabinets and a number of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The house is entered via an internal porch onto a reception hall, which leads to a family room, office and cloakroom on one side. On the other, there’s a formal dining room, a separate sitting room with wood-burning stove, a laundry room and the beautiful open plan kitchen/dining room. This was refitted in 2021 and incorporates a large central island and integrated appliances from Gaggenau. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom.
OutsideSet well back from the road, the house is well screened by mature greenery around the boundary. Much of the \r
outside space is to the front, where a long driveway leads up to the house alongside a good-size lawn and a number of flowerbeds stocked with vibrant herbs and shrubs. A detached garden studio, which has a WC and is currently used as a gym, is tucked away amongst the attractive landscaping, and there is a raised terrace accessed from both the sitting and dining rooms which extends the living space outdoors in the warmer months. The rear garden has a courtyard feel, with a terrace providing even more space for entertaining.
