Description
Description
Squirrels is an impressive modern house, which was significantly remodelled and extended in 2018; it offers excellent living space arranged over two floors. The interiors are outstanding, with a high finish throughout, and careful thought has been given to create a stylish and luxurious home that is both comfortable and well-suited to family life.
The superb open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room forms the major portion of the ground floor, with three sets of bi-fold doors leading out to the decking which wraps the house, creating an easy flow between inside and out; there is a wood burner and an integrated sound system. The contemporary kitchen has quartz worktops completed by an excellent range of black wall hung and undercounter cabinets with bronze handles, and fitted appliances include a wine fridge, dishwasher, electric hob, two ovens, a microwave and an integrated fridge/freezer; there is a further wine store/pantry store.
The cinema/playroom offers additional reception or study space if required.
The ground floor guest bedroom has an en suite with a walk-in shower, countertop basin and WC; all bathrooms have underfloor heating.
The utility room offers space for the usual appliances, and has a door to the side of the house. A separate WC completes the ground floor.
The staircase has a powder coated black balustrade, leading up to the galleried landing; a roof light and cleverly positioned windows ensure light floods through the house.
The vaulted, dual aspect principal bedroom suite has a pair of well-fitted dressing rooms, offering practical yet stylish storage. Its stunning en suite bathroom has been recently refitted with micro cement, giving a sleek modern look and fitted with a luxury free-standing bath, walk-in shower, a pair of basins and a WC. The bedroom has full height bi-fold doors to the south (please see Agent’s Note below).
There are three further bedrooms, one of which is vaulted and currently used as a yoga studio; all first floor bedrooms have air conditioning fitted. A spacious family bathroom completes the first floor.
Squirrels is approached from The Street by a driveway with a parking bay, leading up to secure electronically operated gates which lead on to the gravelled drive. There is a two bay car port attached to the house, and an additional two bay car port fitted with two 20 kilowatt electric vehicle charging points. The garden is fully enclosed by fencing, with gates to either side.
To the west of the house is a lawn which leads round to the rear, where there is a spacious covered bar and seating area; it has lighting and a calor-gas powered firepit, creating an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying the outside space throughout the year.
Situated to the east side of the house is a passage with gates at either end, with a timber log store, a bike storage area, a workshop and a timber storage shed.
