Finally to the first floor is a spacious and very handy boot room, leading onto a utility space and w.c.

To the first floor, via the imposing staircase there are four well sized bedrooms, all accessed via the spacious landing and all of which are bright and appealing, with the master bedroom enjoying a large bay window. Also, the marvellous family bathroom, which again perfectly blends modern features and style with traditional accompaniments, with attractive contemporary tiling, claw foot bath and walk in shower.

Spacious and airy, with velux windows and vaulted ceiling and a full size ensuite bathroom, complete with three piece bathroom suite with w.c., basin and enclosed shower. There is also a further room to the top floor, which would make a tremendous walk-in closet. But if you thought this home had no further surprises, you would be mistaken; a top floor balcony provides views incredible views over the town, perfect for enjoying a sunset, or for unrivalled views of fireworks on bonfire night.

Externally, this property continues to impress. To the side of the property is a large drive leading to a carport – an enviable rarity in Swinley, proving parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear of the property is the large walled gardens, with two stone patio areas, a large astroturfed garden, two storage outbuildings and a heated outdoor terrace, which creates the perfect environment for summer afternoons and large outdoor get togethers with family and friends, even when the weather gets colder!
