Description
Accommodation - 'Roakham Bottom' is a spacious and tastefully refurbished family home, set back from a quiet country lane, and with rural views to the front and rear.
The private gravel driveway has space for several cars, and a double carport is integral to the house. The front garden is a pretty lawned and mature shrub space, with a small stream running along the front border. The front elevation is a honey-coloured brick with contemporary darker double-glazed windows and doors. The entrance comprises a glazed door, with glass panels and a vaulted portico.
The bright entrance hall has wooden floors, and a cloakroom with w.c. and wash hand basin. Through to the kitchen/breakfast room - a large space with modern fitted wall and base units in a striking oak wood and a 'Parisian blue' gloss design, with tiled floors.
There is a peninsula breakfast bar, with a quartz worktop, and a 1 1/2 bowl sink inset. Integrated appliances include a full-size fridge and full-size freezer, a 4-burner induction hob with an integrated extractor fan, a pair of electric ovens, a wine fridge and a dishwasher. Lights have been installed at floor level to add atmosphere to the space. A large window overlooks the garden, and a walk-in larder and spacious understairs cupboard provide convenient storage. From the kitchen out to the useful utility laundry room, with a vaulted ceiling and skylights, doors to both the front garden and the rear, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, fitted cabinets and a sink set into a formica work surface.
A pair of glazed doors lead from the kitchen into the living room, with dual-aspect windows and French doors to the patio. The room has a woodburning stove set in a brick fireplace, wooden floors and fitted shelves.
