Property Description

Much improved, both inside and out, by the current owners the chic quality interior, and stunning botanical garden make this property a perfect turn-key purchase. Approached via a gravel driveway with adequate parking for two vehicles a gate leads into the breath-taking garden of the property. Quite honestly for a garden lover the first impressions are absolutely incredible, for the landscaped gardens that wrap three sides of the property have been skilfully and meticulously planted, to create an outside oasis brimming with native and no native trees, shrubs and architectural plants, too numerous to mention, with discrete seating areas, an outside shed and a simply magnificent covered terrace. The lush tropical garden sits splendidly against the attractive white-washed facade of the property with the double pitched clay tiled roof contrasting beautifully. Internally the property has a fresh and welcoming appearance having been fully updated in recent years. Entering the hallway there is smart stone coloured floor tiles and neutrally painted walls. To the right is the first of two double bedrooms which features oak flooring and overlooks the south facing front garden. Continuing down the hallway and to the right there are convenient fitted cupboards with sliding doors to one side, offering excellent accessible storage. To the left up just a few shallow steps is the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is fitted with modern shaker style units complimented by a square edged counter top, it is fitted with appliances including a twin eye level oven, induction hob and fridge freezer, the tongue and groove panelled splashback adds a little old world charm and a neat tiled floor adds practicality. There is also space for a small breakfast table if desired. The shower room which lies adjacent is fitted with a contemporary suite including a double shower with rain fall shower over, stylish sink with a vanity unit below and a low level w.c. The second main bedroom has a delightful outlook to the rear of the property and oak flooring, with plenty of space for freestanding furniture. Continuing into dual aspect living room which also features oak flooring, there is a large picture window to the front and French doors to the side which lead out onto a fabulous conservatory, which could be utilised as a dining room if desired, it has the super addition of a recently installed colonial styled slatted ceiling which compliments the tiled floor and gives the room year round usage. Finally, as previously mentioned the conservatory leads out into a sublime garden room which is open to the garden and features a decked floor with attractive wood panelling to the side. This magical room is the perfect space for al-fresco dining and although open to the front provides a lovely shelter from the wind and elements for evening soirees and a glass of wine. Outside, the property enjoys incredible gardens to three aspects, to the rear of the property there is a large shed with electric which currently houses the tumble dryer and a small workshop and of course garden equipment. An attractive stone wall with a stone arch leads into a practical pebbled area with space for a greenhouse and rotary washing line.
