Description
Originally believed to be two Knowle Estate cottages from the 1920’s and then converted into a single house in the 1990’s, our selling clients have since upgraded and improved this property to create a very stylish and up to date family home, benefitting from a fine position, away from neighbours and with exceptional southerly views to the rear.
The accommodation over two floors covers approximately 2826 square feet and is designed so that the key rooms face the view to the rear and with the ground floor enjoying easy access onto the terrace and rear garden. There is double glazing and central heating throughout, with the fireplace in the hall fitted with a traditional style wood burning stove and a complementary modern style equivalent fitted in the living room.
The bespoke fitted kitchen has painted shaker-style cabinets complemented by composite granite worktops and limestone tiled flooring and is focused around a Stoves three oven range cooker, which also has an induction hob. The utility room is also well fitted and has a Quooker hot water tap.
The immaculate well decorated interior features a good number of reception areas, with varying formality and features including attractive wood flooring to the hall and semi-open reception rooms, with the guide price package including the carpets, curtains and blinds throughout. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms and three en-suites, including a principal bedroom with full bathroom, complete with electric under floor heating and Aqualisa showers.
Outside, the gated drive uses a gsm opening system operating from a mobile phone. This leads to a generous shingle drive bordered with mature copper beach trees, providing generous parking and giving access to the detached 'barn style’ garage block. This comprises two open bays and a further lockable bay to the southern end, currently converted into a stylish gym, with bi-fold doors to the garden, Karndean flooring and wiring for two TV's and electric blinds. There is a hot tub outside which can be purchased by separate negotiation.
To the rear, there is impressive terracing from the house, straight onto the lawned garden which is post and rail fenced to the neighbouring farmland. On the boundary to one corner there is a decked seating area overlooking the views, sheltered by a field maple tree and positioned near to a well-equipped summerhouse. There is also outside lighting, a garden shed and a wood store.
