Swallows: Victorian cottages with an open plan feel

/


About Swallows

Swallows was formerly a pair of Victorian cottages that were converted to a single dwelling many years ago and subsequently considerably improved by the present owners. Constructed in an attractive blend of pale and red brick under a tiled roof, it offers excellent family accommodation with an open-plan feel that is perfect for modern living.

The centre of the house is the spacious double-aspect sitting room with an open fireplace, French doors to the rear garden and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen is appointed to a very high standard with Bulthaup units and island, Gaggenau appliances including hob, extractor, steam oven, conventional oven and a warming drawer.

There is also an extra wide fridge/freezer and a Miele dishwasher. There is a gas-fired stove in the dining area, and the French doors open to the rear terrace with a swimming pool beyond. Off the entrance hall is the study with fitted bookshelves. There is a family room with views over the gardens to the rear of the property.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is double aspect with fitted wardrobes and an impressive en-suite with an island bath and separate cubicle. There are two further bedrooms, a family bathroom with a shower, a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a useful playroom.

Outside

The property has a gated entrance which opens to a gravelled parking and turning area. The gardens are to the side and rear with mature trees and hedging that provides good privacy. 

There is a west-facing loggia, which is ideal for informal summer entertaining and a heated swimming pool. Screened behind evergreen hedging is a garden room ideal as a home office or games room. In all, the plot extends to about 0.4 acres.

Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are connected to the property with gas fired central heating.
