Description
Welcome to 9 Hermitage Gardens
Entrance - A practical entrance vestibule welcomes you into the home and flows through to an airy, high-ceilinged hall, giving a glimpse of the interiors to follow. The hall is neutrally decorated, fitted with practical tiled flooring, and accompanied by excellent built-in storage and a boot room.
Reception Rooms - The drawing room upstairs echoes the living room in terms of proportions, as well as featuring an identical bay window with a panelled surround, exquisite cornicing, a coffered ceiling, and a fireplace around which furniture can be arranged. Both the drawing room and living room are presented with neutral décor and warm wood flooring, allowing the stunning period features to take centre stage.
The living room is set to the front of the property and occupies an exceptionally generous footprint, allowing for endless configurations of lounge furniture to suit the new owner’s needs. The room is fronted by a large, west-facing bay window with a traditional panelled surround, whilst further period charm is added by a striking fireplace, beautifully detailed cornicing and ceiling plasterwork.
A garden room leading off the kitchen offers a relaxed space in which to enjoy the garden all year round, with wide patio doors capturing morning sunshine and opening outside – perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months!
Dining Kitchen - The kitchen adds a contemporary element to the home, with pared-back, yet stylish wall and base cabinets, spacious worktops, splashback panels, and a selection of integrated appliances. In the large adjoining dining area, ample space is provided for a dining table and chairs, perfect for those who love to entertain and host dinner parties. Also found in the dining area is a beautiful dark-blue Aga.
Bedrooms - The remaining bedrooms are found on the first and second floors, approached via a vaulted staircase illuminated by a fabulous cupola skylight. The bedrooms are all well-proportioned doubles, particularly the principal, which also benefits from a wet room area with a shower, a basin set into vanity storage, and a tall chrome towel radiator. The other sleeping areas all have large built-in/fitted wardrobes, maximising floorspace for freestanding furniture, and one could easily be utilised as a study/music room. Finally, a good-sized dressing/storage room supplements the bedrooms, also featuring excellent built-in storage.
Bathrooms - As well as the wet room area in the principal bedroom, the home has a shower room on the ground floor and a bathroom on the first floor. The shower room comprises a large shower enclosure, a WC-suite set into storage, and a chrome towel radiator, whilst the bathroom features a bath with an overhead shower and a folding glazed screen, a WC-suite, and useful storage. Both washrooms are tastefully tiled and neutrally decorated.
Gardens & Parking - Externally, the property is accompanied by front and rear gardens. The former is paved and gravelled for easy upkeep, whilst the latter boasts an enviable south-facing aspect and is well-established, featuring a patio for outdoor seating and barbecues, a wealth of mature trees, hedges, and shrubbery, creating a sunny haven in which to relax. Off-street parking is provided for multiple cars on a private side driveway.
Extras: Integrated kitchen appliances comprising a gas hob, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher will be included in the sale, alongside the Aga stove. Please note, no warranties or guarantees shall be provided for the appliances.
