Description

Entrance to the property is via a gate and a paved path through the front garden leading to the front door. The tiled mosaic vestibule which has hanging space for coats leads into an impressive hallway with a traditional wooden staircase and bannister illuminated by a top floor cupola.

The living room to the front of the property has a three window bay window and an attractive wooden fireplace with carved features and a wood burning stove as well as an original Edinburgh press.

From the living room a large sliding door opens into the kitchen which leads into the striking, light, contemporary and wonderfully designed extension maximising light, openness and connection to the garden. It really does have the wow factor where you want it, in the heart of the home and gives an entirely new contemporary and light bathed dimension which few other properties in the area enjoy. Split-level and with full length glass floor to ceiling glass panels there are two separate doors from each level into the garden, the extension is a showstopper. It has been designed and executed to the highest standards with top quality fittings and Amtico flooring throughout . The kitchen itself has a T shaped breakfast bar with pendant lights above and seating for four persons as well as housing a five ring induction Siemens hob cooker with pop up extractor. There are drawers and cupboards below, an extended corian worktop in addition to the island, incorporating the integrated sink, all designed and installed by Kitchens International. There are two ovens (one of which also combines as a microwave) and a warming drawer. There are overhead hinged cupboards opening out as well as an integrated full length fridge and freezer. An excellent utility area is tucked away behind three sliding doors giving ample space for the washing machine and household goods. A plumbed in top of the range Miele coffee maker with useful storage beneath is another plus to this fabulously kitted out kitchen. Amtico tiled flooring covers the expanse of the whole downstairs living space, giving a feeling of continuity and flow.

On the ground floor there is also a good sized cloakroom, fully tiled with a contemporary feel, high quality sanitary ware and a chrome heated towel rail.

The principal bedroom with windows to the rear has bespoke Sculleries of Stockbridge built-in bedside cabinetry and headboard as well as voluminous built in wardrobes across an entire wall providing an ample amount of hanging space and shelving. The family bathroom adjacent has a contemporary styled bath and separate shower unit with concertina doors and fixed as well as a hand held shower appliance. The hand basin has an integrated vanity unit beneath. Electric underfloor heating.

Glazed large window to the rear of the property.

On the opposite side of the landing is the upstairs Drawing Room. Bathed in light with a bay window and open aspect to the west, plus another large window, this beautiful room has lovely detailed and traditional cornicing as well as a focal point of the fireplace with a white marble surround and marble hearth with gas fire. There are in keeping modern cast iron Victorian radiators in the reception rooms complementing the feel of the rooms.

Additional cupboard housing boiler and offering more storage.

Stairs lead up to the spacious top landing leading to four double bedrooms and a family shower room.

Bedrooms two and three are to the front of the property and are both large doubles with a slight coomb effect in both by the window, giving additional character to these rooms. Large windows to the front and fitted cupboards in bedroom three.

Bedrooms four and five (currently used as study) are to the rear of the house and overlook the garden.
