The Property

2 St James Close offers spacious, flexible accommodation configured over two floors, to suit a wide range of buyers. It has been extended and fully renovated by the current owners, and sits on a good sized plot of 0.4 acres in total, with private and established south and west facing rear gardens and plenty of parking. The design of the house allows for light to flood in through the many windows and creates a bright, airy home finished to a high standard and set in a lovely village location.



The open, wide hallway provides a grand entrance, with both the sitting room and newly created kitchen/dining/family room opening off to the left. The sitting room is a very pleasant room in which to relax with French doors out to the front garden, an elegant, modern fireplace with coal effect electric fire and fitted display cabinets. The kitchen/dining/family room is a wonderful family and entertaining space with bi-folding doors onto the large west facing rear patio, which is perfectly placed for al-fresco entertaining and enjoying views of the garden. There is ample space in this room for comfortable seating in addition to a large dining table and chairs. The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted with an excellent range of wall and floor units, vast island bench and granite worktops in a light, neutral colour palette, with integrated appliances including oven, combination oven and warming drawer, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and induction hob. Leading off the hallway there is also a smart, modern shower room and stairs lead down to a lower level. On this level there is a spacious bedroom, large enough to accommodate a seating area, with a neat en-suite shower room and an external door connecting directly to patio areas. This room would make ideal guest accommodation or independent space or annexe for a teenager or dependent relative, or could equally be used as a play room, hobby room, office or home gym. A very useful utility room and access to the garage and garden is also on this level.



Up the oak and glass staircase, the first floor offers three immaculately presented double bedrooms including the spacious principal bedroom with wonderful views over the rear garden, fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room featuring a double size walk-in shower. The two further bedrooms on the floor are both doubles, with one featuring built-in wardrobes. Both bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. On the landing, a hatch provides access to loft storage.



Externally

The property is situated in the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac close to the village school and church. It is approached via a tarmac driveway leading to the double integral garage with remote control roller shutter door, power and light. The private, wrap-around south and west facing gardens are well maintained with rolling lawns, mature trees, shrubs and perennial plantings with hedged boundaries. There are large patios to all sides of the house, offering excellent opportunities for outdoor seating and entertaining in the sun throughout the day. A large, new wooden shed/summerhouse sits to the side of the garden for storage. The front drive area offers parking for a large number of vehicles.
