Description:


7 Main Street is an impressive, stone-built home with flexible living accommodation laid across three floors.

On entering the property, the front door is flanked by a ground floor WC and walk-in coat closet. Beautiful oak flooring draws you into a vast entrance hall with a bespoke staircase rising to the first floor. To the rear of the property is a stunning, light and bright, kitchen-dining-living room with three sets of French doors framing beautiful garden views and opening onto the dining terrace, creating an ideal space for entertaining.

The kitchen has a Deluxe AGA boasting twin hotplates, a four-ring gas hob, and four ovens. The large island, with composite marble surface, provides ample preparation space, twin inset sinks and bar seating, whilst extensive cabinetry offers generous storage throughout. To complete the kitchen is an integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge-freezer. There is also a separate utility room with further cabinetry, side door access to the garden, and plumbing for a washing machine.

Oak parquet flooring flows between the dining area and living area where an open fireplace, with stone hearth, creates a charming focal point.

Also to the ground floor are three additional reception areas offering versatile living options, dependant upon requirements. The rooms are currently set out as a cinema room, office and gym.

To the first floor is a stunning Principal suite with four-piece ensuite and beautiful dressing room with picture windows overlooking the garden.

Two double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, enjoy ensuite shower rooms, whilst a further two double bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom.

The bespoke staircase continues to rise to the second floor where a galleried landing, with built-in storage, leads to two further rooms with multi-functional options, currently additional bedrooms.

Presently a spacious five-bedroomed property, there is planning permission granted to create two bathrooms to the second floor, transforming the space into two double ensuites, and thus, a seven-bedroomed home.

From the characterful stone wall to the front, a gate opens onto a generous driveway of block paving and gravel, and flower beds brimming with lavender and hydrangea line the front of the property. To the west is a detached, stone, double garage with electric door. A useful gardener’s WC and woodstore are to the side of the garage whilst an external staircase leads to a multi-functional space currently utilised as a games room.

Moving to the rear, south-facing garden from either side of the property’s gated access, 7 Main Street has a generous side return to the east that is laid to lawn. The lawn then stretches up beyond the dining terrace and is bordered by an array of mature shrubs and trees. The dining terrace extends the whole of the width of the home and is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Steps rising to the lawn from the patio are bordered by swathes of lavender. Fully enclosed, the garden is also exceptionally private and secure.
