The property

5 Bartons Lane is an attractive Edwardian semi-detached cottage built in 1910 by and for the nearby Daneshill Brickworks. It has been sympathetically extended and modernised and now offers well balanced family accommodation of about 2,000 sq.ft, in excellent order. It has a private rear garden with a large outbuilding of timber construction of about 526 sq.ft., currently used as a sound-proofed music room and studio.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the entrance hall from which the staircase rises to the first floor, on either side of which is the family room and dining room, both overlooking the front. The sitting room also overlook the front and has an attractive fireplace with log-burning stove. The extended and partly vaulted kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house. This is comprehensively and fully fitted and has bi-fold doors opening to the rear terrace and a log-burning stove. There is also a study, a utility room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a particularly large main bedroom, three further double bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom.

For details, please refer to the floorplan.
