Property description
Sowerbys are delighted to offer this superb new home, built in the style of a classical period property by renowned developers Orchard Homes. The builders have successfully fused the traditional appeal of a substantial character home with more modern innovations and contemporary fittings, to create a stylish and unpretentious residence of substantial proportion. Some of the more traditional stylings include the detailed ceiling mouldings and wide profile skirting and architrave which complement the 9ft ceilings on the ground floor. By contrast, there is also an integrated speaker system with iPod dock, a high specification fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a stylish glass sided staircase which rises from the reception hall on the ground floor up to the second floor.
The interior is arranged over three floors and extends to approximately 3,550 sq/ft, offering a range of well-proportioned rooms with a superb attention to detail afforded throughout. All windows and internal doors are oak, with the only exception being the bi-folding doors in both the sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room which open out on the paved terrace at the rear. In brief, the accommodation comprises entrance vestibule, reception hall, sitting room with fireplace, L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room, formal dining room, study, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor; with three bedrooms and the main family bathroom accessed from the first floor landing. The master suite is simply breath-taking, with a luxury en-suite, separate dressing area with extensive fitted storage and a substantial sleeping area which overlooks the rear garden. The second bedroom also enjoys the benefit of an en-suite shower room. On the top floor, there are two further double bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Outside, the property has a private gravel driveway which leads to a detached double garage. Gated access at the side leads to a private rear garden which is pleasantly sized and incorporates a delightful paved entertaining area immediately to the rear of the sitting room and breakfast area.
