Looks Can Be Deceptive...
With a truly exceptional open plan kitchen/living spaces and a superior spec at every turn, this fabulous home (built in 2012 by Linden Homes) really is the epitome of “don’t judge a book by its cover”. From the front it sits neatly in the modern terrace but internally it has been the subject of transformative alteration in 2019 to create a rather special contemporary home.

Although the home looks two-storey from the front, the accommodation is spread over three floors to the rear and extends to 1,358 sq ft with up to four bedrooms - a great size for a home in this price range.

Upon entry the porch provides a useful break from the outside and a handy spot for shoes & coats. Your eye is then immediately drawn down the hallway with eye-catching period style tiled flooring, that flows through into the stylish shower room with utility cupboard. There is a good size double bedroom that overlooks the rear and an incredibly versatile study/bedroom 4, with extensive built in desk space & cabinetry making it perfect for working-from-home.

The stunning solid oak staircase is totally bespoke and leads down to the truly wow-factor kitchen/dining/family room – the beating heart of this home. At over 28ft, this space is ready made for entertaining and the beautiful shaker-style kitchen from the highly regarded Hamilton Stone Design. The grey toned units are inspired by Farrow and Ball’s ‘Manor house grey’ and Samsung’s ‘Lucerne Lake’ Quartz marbles over the top of the units provides a gorgeous yet robust finish to this stylish kitchen.

The kitchen island is a perfect place to prepare meals with family and friends perched at the breakfast bar, creating a social yet practical space for all to enjoy. A large ‘Villeroy & Boch’ farmhouse sink sits in the centre with a handy flexi tap. As well as providing extra seating the island is ideal for additional storage space and for the all-important Caple wine chiller!

The bi-fold doors perfectly frame the outlook to the garden and blur the division between the inside and the outside during the summer months. In the winter, the log burning stove creates a cosier feel. Herringbone creates a statement in this open plan space flowing from the ground up to the vast splash back that sits behind the Neff induction hob.

On the top floor, you have a fantastic master bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes and a contemporary, oversized ensuite. The third double bedroom sits over the landing and is served by the adjacent family bathroom.

The house is heated via gas fired boiler (in loft), has high performance double glazed windows and a high degree of insulation that combine to offer a high degree of energy efficiency (EPC: B 85). There are also solar panels which generate 0.9kw/h - £80 per qtr.

Outside Oasis...
The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and is a true outside oasis. Sleek, porcelain tiled flooring creates a paved terrace that is ideal for ‘al-fresco’ dining, with a further decked area enjoying the later sunshine. There are well-stocked beds & borders and cleverly planted trees have created a screen that produces a high degree of privacy & seclusion.

To the front is driveway parking with space for two cars.

Scope/Potential
The loft space offers conversion potential, which would create an exceptional master bedroom suite. Any work is of course subject to planning permission.
