3 Bed Detached House For Sale

Court Villa is an attached period house with rendered and painted walls under a slate roof and is unlisted, which has enabled period style and tall double glazed windows.

The windows take full advantage of the house's position by not only taking in the surrounding views but also allow natural light to fill the interior. The house is full of character and has been refurbished to a high standard, combining period charm with an interior that lends itself to modern family life.

The ground floor has been opened up to create a single reception space, where the sitting and dining rooms are inter-connected by a wide opening. Both rooms are generously sized and the sitting room has a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove to make it warm and cosy on cold winter evenings. The interior is characterised by pale décor combined with partial slate flooring, pale oak beams and exposed wall and ceiling timbers. This is complimented by the kitchen, which is adjacent to the dining room and is fully fitted with contemporary oak-fronted units under granite work surfaces, a comprehensive range of built-in electrical appliances including a floor to ceiling fridge. The cloak and utility room has fitted units providing ample storage capacity for space for a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Also on the ground floor is a great size boot room and a large study area. Upstairs are three southwest-facing bedrooms, all with lovely outlooks. The main bedroom has a walk-through dressing room to a great-sized en suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms share use of the family bathroom.

Court Villa is set above and back from the passing lane with two points of entry: a flight of stone steps from the pavement with a paved path with lawn on either side leading to the front porch and on one side a parking area for two cars that fronts directly onto the lane. There is also a large studio/workshop that incorporates a large, separate storage space and is equipped with heat and light. The workshop opens up endless potential to prospective buyers.

The garden extends out on one side and behind the house and is designed to be easily maintained. Fringing one side of the house are a well beside a paved terrace that provides a wonderful spot for outside dining as it is partially shaded during the heat of the day and yet is lit by the last of the light into early evening. A flight of steps rises to a level lawn fringed by several trees, individual tall shrubs and shrub borders. To the sides are a further seating area and a contemporary solid wood cabin.

Agent's Note: Planning consent granted (Planning Ref. No:0269/07 dated 10 May 2010) to rebuild the workshop with a pitched roof incorporating a room above.
