Description
Swallow House is a beautifully presented home that has been modernised to create a refined and contemporary living environment. The accommodation is characterised by its generous proportions and attention to detail, evident from the moment of entry into the impressive reception hall, complete with elegant panelled walls and herringbone flooring.
The heart of the home is the striking open-plan kitchen and dining room. This triple-aspect space is fitted with an extensive range of shaker-style units, and complementary work surfaces, centred around a substantial breakfast island. French doors open directly on to the garden terrace, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. Adjoint to this is a spacious dual-aspect reception room featuring a log-burning stove set within a timber mantel, providing a warm focal point.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a utility room, guest cloakroom, and a versatile room currently used as a bedroom, which could equally serve as a further reception room or office space.
On the first floor, a spacious gallery landing gives access to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous retreat with views over the grounds and is served by an en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are supported by a well-appointed family bathroom, blending classic styling with contemporary finishes, including a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and brass fittings.
The property is set back from the road behind a large gravelled driveway that provides significant parking and access to the integrated garage. To the rear, the beautifully maintained gardens are primarily laid to lawn, enclosed by mature hedging and timber fencing for privacy. A paved terrace provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining, while the garden further benefits from a greenhouse and views over the neighbouring greenery.
