Further Information

Description
Nestled within its own glorious gardens on this highly coveted road within a short stroll of Charlton Kings village and Balcarras school, the property is a delightful detached late Victorian home on a lane where houses rarely come to the market. Owing to its era, there is sense of light and space, with large rooms, high ceilings and comfortable accommodation extending to over 1900 Sq Ft.

There are two points of access, one through the main door and one from the garden into the kitchen. The hallway introduces the reception space, with a formal room positioned to the front of the house with the feature bay window, currently it is used as a home office and sitting room but traditionally these make for elegant dining rooms. A further sitting room occupies one side of the house, a lovely, light room with double doors opening to the raised patio terrace with steps down to the gardens, a feature log burner is a focal point. Adjacent to this is a kitchen/breakfast room, well-appointed with a range of classic units and integrated appliances, it is a wonderful space that opens to the dining room, with a triple aspect view of the gardens. A cloakroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

On the first floor, there are three excellent double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The staircase continues to the second floor, a lovely area comprising a bedroom with an opening to a sitting room or study and en suite shower room. This is ideal for a teenager or for guests away from the main bedrooms and with ample space.

Of worthy note, there is a cellar which is an ideal space for storing wine.
