Description
The property was subject to a large scale renovation and development in 2011. At the time the house was completely upgraded with new heating and electrical systems, new underfloor heating in hard floored areas and aluminium powder coated double glazed windows throughout. Additionally, the house was extended to provide a superb contemporary home. Our clients purchased the house after these works had been completed.
Entering via the front door, you are welcomed by the most wonderful atrium-style reception hall which gives a fantastic initial impression. The hall runs front to rear and combines a grand staircase with bespoke fretwork.
To your right is a good-sized sitting room with double aspect and views over the front.
To the left of the hall steps take you up to two double bedrooms and a well-fitted family bathroom. One bedroom faces the attractive front gardens with bi-fold doors leading out and the other has views of the side garden. Further down the hall, a second set of steps takes you to a double bedroom/study with bi-fold doors which give access to the rear garden.
The main hall leads through to a really fine dining area which is a great place to enjoy views over the garden. This room is filled with light from a glazed roof.
Off the dining room is a beautiful contemporary style kitchen. A large central island houses a wine cooler, four ring induction hob with gas wok module, and Silestone worktops create an elegant feel. All along one wall is a fine bespoke unit which houses twin Neff ovens with plate warmers beneath. Additionally, there is a steam oven. To one end the unit incorporates a very useful larder style cupboard and to the far end is an integrated fridge freezer. Bi-folding doors open out from the kitchen to a large terrace.
To the rear of the kitchen is the utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and a sink with worktop. There is a cupboard which houses the Viessmann gas boiler and a large pressurised water cylinder. A back door leads out to the garden.
Back to the hall, by the staircase, there is cloakroom and a useful understairs cupboard.
Upstairs you find a most wonderful master bedroom with double aspect and incredible views toward Solsbury Hill. Double wardrobes flank a doorway through to a spacious en suite bathroom with contemporary style “egg” bath and a separate glazed shower. A double vanity unit with twin sinks and drawers below complete the picture. Adjoining, is a superb guest bedroom with en suite shower room.
Externally
Electrically operated timber gates open to driveway parking sufficient for a number of vehicles. To the left side is a pretty lawned area with a cherry tree and climbing clematis. This leads through to a gravelled area, a shed and a gate through to the rear garden. To the right side there is a majestic copper beech, a further shed and gate to the rear garden. The main garden is in part laid to lawn and the rest is paved with attractive grey limestone. The rear of the garden has a mix of ornamental trees and shrubs and the whole rear garden is fenced to be dog safe.
