This impressive, detached 1930s Art Deco home set on a generous plot, has been comprehensively refurbished throughout by the current owners. Additionally, a new conservatory spanning the entire breadth of the house has been added. The result is a property which combines classic architectural elegance with stylish modern living.
The front door opens into the welcoming ENTRANCE HALLWAY, with attractive timber effect flooring which extends to many of the downstairs rooms, adding warmth, style and continuity. A fitted oak cupboard provides space for coats and shoes. An understairs cupboard houses the Worcester gas boiler and provides further storage.
The front facing SITTING ROOM is welcoming and inviting, the ideal space in which to relax with family and friends. A central fireplace with granite hearth creates a focal point and ensures a cosy atmosphere. Glazed doors open into the conservatory, creating a wonderful flow of space for living and entertaining. The versatile, dual facing FAMILY ROOM/BEDROOM THREE has a wall of fitted oak wardrobes.
At the centre of the home lies the fitted KITCHEN, finished with oak wall and base cabinets with task and plinth lighting and granite-effect worktops. The high-quality integrated appliances include a Bosch five-ring induction hob with extractor over, double Bosch ovens and a Bosch dishwasher. A central island with breakfast bar has a practical pull-out multi-bin drawer and provides ideal space for informal dining, whilst linking the kitchen with the conservatory beyond.
The expansive CONSERVATORY to the rear, provides an exceptional light-filled space, with views across the garden. Fitted with wooden Venetian blinds to all windows, sliding glazed doors lead to a covered terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and summer gatherings. There is space and connection for a fridge and freezer.
Just off the kitchen is the UTILITY ROOM with oak cabinetry and space and connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A side door opens to the garden. A sliding door leads to the CLOAKROOM featuring a tiled floor, W.C., corner vanity basin with mirrored cabinet and side window.
From the hallway, stairs rise to the first-floor landing with airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder, and three comfortable bedrooms and the family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys its own dedicated wardrobe area leading through to a stylish EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM comprising a shower, W.C and wash-hand basin. A particularly charming feature of this room is the front-facing balcony, offering an elevated outlook and a lovely spot to enjoy the morning air. BEDROOM TWO is a generous dual-aspect double room with fitted wardrobes, while BEDROOM FOUR to the rear, is currently used as a study. The FAMILY BATHROOM is well appointed with a bath and shower over, W.C, and wash-hand basin.
Outside
The property is approached through ELECTRIC GATES which open onto an extensive resin driveway that provides GENEROUS PARKING and turning space for multiple vehicles. A gated side passageway leads to the back garden. Attached to the house is a single GARAGE with rear access, and an electric up-and-over door, power and light. Mature laurel shrubs form a neat border at the front, creating an attractive first impression. Close-boarded fencing encloses the area to provide privacy and security.
The charming SOUTH-WEST FACING REAR GARDEN is fully enclosed by hedging and fencing and is mainly laid to lawn with a children's wooden climbing frame. Established borders feature a variety of shrubs and trees including rhododendron, camellia, magnolia, maple and several fruit trees. A covered resin terrace adjoins the house, creating a sheltered seating and entertaining area. Alongside is a timber dog kennel. At the end of the garden is a further resin terrace with a TIMBER SUMMER HOUSE with power and light, plus a SUBSTANTIAL SHED AND BIKE STORE. On a practical note there is an outside tap, lighting, power and sink.
