Quite simply, The Garden Maisonette is a house within a house ; spanning circa 3000 sq. ft and presenting effortlessly elegant and hugely versatile accommodation over two floors with a stunning west facing fully enclosed rear garden, three off street parking spaces and a single garage.

To the front is a charming sitting room with a wide bay window complete with working shutters flooding the room with light, overlooking All Saints Church opposite.

Adjacent to the sitting room is a versatile play room study; again with working shutters and ceiling plasterwork.

To the rear of the house runs an exquisite suite of rooms; dominated by the beautiful family kitchen and dining room, with twin French doors leading out onto the raised deck terrace leading down to the garden below.

Along the side wall runs a further range of floor and wall mounted storage cupboards complete with an Electric EVERHOT cooker, integrated fridge & freezer and a double fronted larder cupboard.

There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, and to the opposite side a gorgeous Georgian pediment topped door opens up into a lovely family room; sociable to the kitchen yet easily separated and also with French doors also opening out onto the terrace. The room is finished with a full width wall of fitted storage and a light filled dual aspect.

To the end of the hall is a useful cloakroom, with a bespoke staircase leading down to the lower ground floor.

The lower floor hall is finished with handsome modern quarried stone flagstones and gives access to four double bedrooms; two to each side.

The master bedroom is superb, with a large bay window, fitted New England shutters and expanse of fitted wardrobe storage. The en suite is beautifully finished with an enclosed oversize shower cubicle, wash basin and w.c complete with tadelakt plaster walls and wall mounted heated towel ladder.
