This attractive detached property dating from 1935 has been imaginatively extended to offer well-balanced accommodation over two floors, with good-sized rooms throughout and a fantastic south-west facing garden. The property retains many 1930’s features, while clever contemporary architecture enhances the living spaces with high ceilings and encourages natural light through large double-glazed windows, doors and sky-lights. Sitting on a 0.26 acre plot, the property is nicely set back from the road and screened by hedges and trees. There is planning permission to build a free standing, two-bedroom annexe (98 m2) at the end of the garden. All-in-all, a welcoming and flexible property.

The front entrance porch opens into a large hall and in turn, the principal reception rooms. The sitting/family room is a lovely, large space with an inset wood-burning stove as a centrepiece and bi-fold doors to the decked patio and garden. The generous kitchen/breakfast room also flows into the garden and offers fitted units and space for appliances above and below granite worktops. There is an integrated Siemans double oven and warming drawer, a Neff five-burner gas hob and placed in the heart of the kitchen, an island unit. A useful utility area leads from the kitchen, giving plenty of space for storage and household appliances as well as access to the garage. The ground floor is completed by the garden-facing dining room, a spacious study and a good-sized cloakroom/WC. Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor where four good bedrooms and a family bathroom radiate from the central landing. The master bedroom is a particularly impressive double-aspect room, complete with walk-in wardrobe and smart en-suite shower room.

There is parking on the driveway for four cars in addition to a single garage, and gated side access to the rear of the property. The landscaped rear garden is a real highlight of the property, with a lawn surrounded by well-stocked herbaceous borders, ornamental trees, an orchard, potting shed, vegetable beds and wildlife-friendly hedge boundaries.
