Property description
A bit like vintage port, some properties just get better with age! Such is the case with Styleway, which in many ways is reminisce of a 'Gentleman's Residence' with many features, including for example, the timber panelled walls in the dining room that are surely from a bygone era. Thankfully it has been brought into the twenty-first century, with a blend of the modern and old transforming this lovely property into the impressive family home that we see today. Interestingly though, I feel that the rear elevation is the more attractive one, despite the far reaching front facing views over the town and St Alkmunds church in the distance from its elevated position. Then there is the size of the plot, which is pretty decent, including ample parking in the large driveway at the front. To the rear, there are formal gardens (with a range of useful outbuildings) and a wildlife area with small pond. Inside, the accommodation extends to 3 floors and upon entering the spacious entrance hall, it is immediately apparent that things are going to be rather splendid. Head into the aforementioned dining room and you are likely to be bowled over by the timber panelling and doors leading onto the rear garden. Likewise, the living room with its attractive stone fireplace immediately creates a favourable impression and the third reception room (the sitting room) feels quite snug in comparison to the other two. From here, there is access to the refitted kitchen/breakfast room with its granite work tops and solid oak units. Upstairs, both double bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms that quite simply can only be described as 'luxurious'. Heading up into the Gods on the second floor, there are 2 further double bedrooms and a refitted shower room. In summary, properties such as Styleway are relatively few and far between around Whitchurch and with that in mind, an early viewing is most strongly recommended!
