Description

Summary

A four-bedroom detached house in Edwardian style, located in the highly desirable area of Streetgate. This property has undergone significant extensions, resulting in six distinct reception areas on the ground floor, while still offering ample off-street parking and a spacious garden at the back. The accommodation includes: a porch, hallway, living room, dining room, office, snug, extensive orangery, kitchen/breakfast room, a downstairs WC, four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a boarded attic. Additionally a 50-foot garage provides extra storage along with a tack room. Given its impressive features, we anticipate considerable interest and recommend scheduling an early viewing.

Ground Floor

The property welcomes you with a convenient entrance porch, perfect for storing outdoor clothing and gear. This area then flows into the striking main hallway of the home, featuring carpeted flooring and traditional wood paneling on the walls. Characteristic elements such as high ceilings, decorative shelving, and part-glazed real wood doors with stained glass contribute to the inviting atmosphere that this beautiful property exudes. The hallway provides access to the front-facing living room, dining room, office, kitchen/breakfast room, downstairs WC, and the staircase leading to the first floor. The living room offers an ideal retreat with a spacious bay window that floods the room with natural light, while a centrally located decorative fireplace serves as a captivating focal point. Next to the living room, a similarly sized dining room creates a delightful space for enjoying meals. This room is enhanced by modern colours, ceiling beams, dual aspect windows, and another fireplace made of cast iron with a wooden surround, adding an elegant touch to the reception area. The kitchen/breakfast room provides a degree of separation within the open-plan layout, featuring a breakfast island with seating on one side and the kitchen on the other. The kitchen is equipped with a wide range of modern shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by Silestone worktops. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and extractor fan, with additional space available for an American fridge/freezer and a range oven with hob. An area at the back of the garage offers extra room for laundry appliances. From the kitchen/breakfast room, you can access the garage and the snug. The snug is a bright space with large windows and glazed doors that invite ample natural light. This room accommodates freestanding furniture and provides double door access to both a convenient office room and the expansive Orangery at the rear, which spans the full width of the property. The Orangery is also bathed in natural light and offers ample room for freestanding furniture, featuring different zones that currently comprise a generous lounge and a dining space, while the vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of openness in the reception area. A pair of double doors lead out to the rear garden.
