Property description


Occupying a wide plot, the property has a smart block-paved drive that provides off-street parking, electric car charging, and gated access to the rear garden. The centrally located front door opens into a hallway with the main open plan living space to the rear and study straight ahead, two bedrooms and a bathroom to the left, and the main bedroom suite to the right. The study is cleverly concealed behind a door that appears to be part of the hallway wall.

The open plan area comprises a 24ft by 23ft living/dining/kitchen area and an approximately 13ft by 12ft conservatory. Ideally suited to modern living, this space has ample room for relaxing and dining and the well-equipped kitchen also has a breakfast/dining bar. The kitchen has extensive Shaker-style fitted cabinets with a full suite of integrated appliances (including a plumbed American fridge freezer) and lots of worktop space, and the window above the sink has lovely leafy views. Pendant lighting above the dining island complements the downlighters, and French doors to the terrace and a wide opening to the conservatory (used by the current owners as a dining room) ensure excellent natural light. Stylish pale neutral decor and an ash engineered wood floor give the whole space an airy ambience.

Across the hallway the main bedroom suite also has French doors to the terrace and great garden and riverside views. The suite comprises a large carpeted double bedroom, a dressing room with a wall of fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious bathroom with twin sinks, a freestanding contemporary bathtub, and a shower. The dressing room and bathroom have great natural light and ventilation. The second and third double bedrooms and a bathroom are accessed via an internal hallway off the main living room. There’s a built-in cupboard in the hallway, fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms, and storage space in the loft. The bathroom is fitted with a bath (with a thermostatic shower), washbasin console and WC, and has smart white metro wall tiles complemented by hexagonal mosaic floor tiles – a winning combination.

The property is in immaculate condition throughout and has been renovated and finished to a very high standard with considered choices that have helped create a fabulous home. The roof was replaced five years ago, the property has (hot and cold) air-conditioning

This attention to detail continues outside, where the southeast-facing rear garden is a lovely year-round space with a sheltered paved courtyard, a lawn with attractive cherry trees and roses, and a picket fence with open views of the New River.

The property has planning permission for extension to create a single-storey 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom property with a vaulted ceiling in the main open plan living space and a pottery studio in addition to the study.
