Set over five floors you find five bedrooms, five reception rooms, two bathrooms, a walled garden, a garage, two parking spaces, a pretty front garden and so much more. The home has been beautifully extended and decorated. The mix of open-plan spaces and intimate rooms are perfect for the discerning modern family.
Wander down the tree-lined streets to the north of the town centre, past beautiful homes, parks, tennis courts and the church and you come to a little wooden gate, flanked by neat hedging. There is something magical about the sweet path that leads up to the magnificent property. Open the front door and you are greeted with a grand sense of space and light. It is a wonderful entrance that gets you excited to see more.
The vast open plan kitchen is worthy of the pages of Living Etc. It has been thoughtfully designed for modern life - lots of space to cook, room for a sofa and a dining table and effortless access to the beautiful gardens. This is the beating heart of the home. There are two other reception rooms on the ground floor, both of which provide flexibility for the new owners. The dual aspect, bay fronted sitting room with large sash windows and shutters is a stunning space. There is a working open fireplace with marble surround, built in shelves and cupboards and picture rail. There is space for a sitting area around the fire place and TV, a desk and study space if you work from home or it could be a play area for little ones. There is also a big dining room, which can be a cinema room, study, playroom or a formal room for dining. The home is both magical and functional.
There is an interior designers touch mixed with a practical consideration. The grand spaces are perfect for family gatherings and entertaining - Christmas in this home would be wonderful! The grand sense of space continues upstairs. On the first floor you find three large bedrooms, laundry room and beautiful bathroom. Each of the bedrooms on this floor are the kind of bedrooms you dream of - large enough for any bed you wish for, space for clothes (the Master has a dressing room), areas for sofas and a desk and lots of natural light. Whether the bedrooms will belong to a toddler, teenager or the Master of the house, they will be very happy. The main bathroom is more like a boutique spa than a normal wash room. There is a free-standing bath tub, walk in shower, sash window and lots of space. It is a stylish and very useful family bathroom. On the top floor there are two further large bedrooms and a gorgeous bathroom. On the lower ground floor you find two further reception rooms, a utility room, store rooms and a WC. The current owners have set this floor up with a home gymnasium, wine store, snug and a study, however it could easily be changed into a teenagers den, art studio or guest accommodation.
All modern families love to have a private outside space where they can entertain, play and relax. The walled garden at the back of this home is effortlessly connected to the kitchen so you can ferry food and drinks to the outside dining table, children can run in and out (all within sight of mum) and there are little seating spaces positioned to enjoy sun at different times of the day. There is a garageand two private parking spaces making it easy to park and walk straight into your gorgeous home.
