Believed to date to C18, Atherington House is a charming property offering period features perfectly blended with up-to-date interior styling to provide a comfortable and versatile home ideally-suited to modern lifestyles. On the ground floor the accommodation offers the sociable setting of a formal dining room which adjoins a spacious, light-filled reception room where a fireplace provides a focal point and glazed doors afford a route out to the garden. The kitchen has rustic ceiling beams and is fitted with wall and base level cabinetry, topped with wood work surfaces, with ancillary space provided by a utility room. A panelled study and a light-filled conservatory complete the ground floor facilities.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the two upper levels, with two bedrooms and a smart, family bathroom on the first floor and a further bedroom on the second floor, which offers a quiet retreat at the top of the house. A modern, shower room on the ground floor offers an additional washroom facility, whilst a large cellar provides sub-terranean storage.

Outside

Curved walls mark the entrance to the property, with a gravelled driveway leading to an area for parking at the front of the home. The rear garden is aesthetically-designed and well-maintained offering an outdoor sanctuary with paved pathways providing a journey through the grounds. Features include ponds with aquatic planting, flower borders containing colourful varieties of shrubs and perennial plants, areas of lawn and mature trees which provide privacy and dappled shade. Paving adjoins the house with direct access from the conservatory and reception room extending the living environment to the outside to enjoy the southerly aspect. A World War II air raid shelter sits out of sight of the house at the bottom of the garden and there is also a greenhouse and garden store.
