Last Listing description (May 2017)
UNDER INSTRUCTIONS FROM EXECUTOR ~ DECEASED ESTATE.
Set just around the corner from the High Street, this unique property offers easy care living ideal for the retiree or young couple within a quiet and popular residential area.
Exceptionally private, this inviting property is attractively built using rammed earth construction. Screened from the road by a mature front garden, a stylish feature garden gate leads through the wall which fronts the home, into a unique entrance courtyard. Planted with ferns and featuring a curved roof, here you gain a glimpse through walls of glass to the interior that awaits.
Inside is appealing, stylised and comfortable. A dual aspect open plan living space incorporates cooking, dining and lounging with a Nectre slow combustion wood heater to cosy up in front of on cold winter days. Walls of glass look out upon the front courtyard and rear garden and painted concrete floors and exposed rammed earth walls combine a stylish, urban feel with a welcoming vibe. Thoughtfully positioned for energy efficiency, the room makes the most of its northern orientation which captures the warmth from the low winter sun.
Continuing with this style, the home develops further into another wing, where the sleeping arrangements are peacefully located, along with a study or compact third bedroom, a spacious bathroom and the laundry which features a handy second toilet.
Busy young couples or retirees looking to escape on regular trips away need easy to manage gardens. To the rear is a neat verandah and small adjacent lawn, with a fence lined with mature shrubs, plants and climbers of variegated foliage offering a peaceful and private garden setting without the effort. Secure roller shutters to all windows offer peace of mind for any extended absence.
