About
GUIDE PRICE £700,000 - £725,000 Nestled on an established and generous 0.24 acre plot in a village setting, this detached chalet/bungalow has undergone a stunning transformation after being redesigned and reimagined by a London architect to fulfil the brief of the current owner.
This brief has been meticulously executed and created a contemporary detached home which is filled with natural light and where every window frames a view of the outside space and beautiful gardens.
ACCOMMODATION The accommodation opens with a spacious and light entrance hall where double doors provide a stunning view through the rear facing living room and into the rear garden beyond.
At the heart of the ground floor space is the open plan kitchen and dining space which features at its core a large central island unit with breakfast bar seating.
Quartz worktops compliment the extensive range of white units and integrated appliances include Franke boiling water tap, electric induction hob with downdraft extractor, electric conventional oven, combination oven/grill and integrated fridge.
The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining space and continues across the rear of the property into the main living area.
A separate utility room and ground floor shower room add to additional functionality. The ground floor 3rd bedroom features built in storage space and provides flexibility to the accommodation.
The original open tread stairs have been renovated and provide access to the first floor accommodation and two double bedrooms with a stylish family bathroom.
The spacious principal bedroom boasts a dressing area and en-suite shower room. Throughout the house comfort is ensured year-round with gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
OUTSIDE Externally the overall plot extends to approximately 0.24 of an acre.
