Shell Lane, Colemore, GU34

The house has a contemporary yet traditional feel and
has been carefully and sensitively improved to fully
complement the setting and create a very comfortable
family home. The feeling of space is immediate and the generous living accommodation includes a twin aspect beamed drawing room with an Inglenook fireplace and a wood burning stove complemented by a spacious dining room (with double doors opening out to the garden) and a triple aspect family room, with under floor heating and double doors opening out to the garden.

Importantly, there is also a study. The stunning kitchen/ breakfast room (with an adjoining pantry) is set around an island and has been completed with integrated Miele appliances, Samsung refrigerator, Quooker tap, bespoke cabinets and work surfaces together with French doors opening out to the terrace and garden.

There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom including a superb principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Of note, the bathrooms have been fitted with stylish boutique sanitary ware with a large walk-in shower to the principal suite

The house is complemented by a delightful garden with a very useful studio/hobby room/garden office. This is a very appealing home and there are very few properties within the local area that are as well appointed. The combination of inherent character, decor and specification have created a genuinely welcoming home.

Outside

The house stands within attractive landscaped grounds providing a wonderful setting with glorious views. There is a very well-positioned studio (ideal as a hobby room/garden office) and expanses of lawn together with flowering shrubs and plants, spring bulbs and a selection of young and mature trees. There are a variety of areas of interest including an ideally positioned pergola approached via a set of railway sleeper steps and a pathway set between a line of apple trees. Areas of terrace adjoin the kitchen, dining room and family room and provide a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining.

A private driveway is approached via a shingle driveway and provides ample parking and access to the double garage. Garden/storage outbuilding.
