Doors lead to a stunning and most elegant drawing room with stone flooring and a further feature open fireplace flanked on each side by bespoke storage and book shelving, and French doors lead out to the side terrace. A useful study lies off the hallway, whilst a further doorway leads through to the fabulous kitchen/dining room. This particular living space certainly represents the 'hub' of the houses and features a stunning brick heringbone designed flooring which runs through to the utility/boot room, cloaroom and rear hallway.

The kitchen area boasts a range of bespoke base units, wooden work surfaces, a Belfast sink, an Everholt cast iron stove, modern integrated appliances, a front aspect window seat and ample space for a sizeable kitchen table. Steps also lead down to a front aspect sitting/family room. The utility room is also fitted with a range of bespoke units and has a stable door opening to the rear terrace , whilst the side hall features a cloakroom and door to the integral garaging.

On the first floor, a generous landing with space for a sitting area or study area gives access to the property’s four bedrooms, one vaulted, and to a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The dual aspect principal bedroom and an adjacent bedroom both benefit from lovely en suite shower rooms.

Outside

Having plenty of kerb appeal, the property sits behind mature hedging at the foot of a bank from which it takes its name. It is approached over a gable end tarmac driveway providing private parking and giving access to the integral double garage and side entrance. A pedestrian gate opens to a low-maintenance gravelled front garden. The wraparound garden has been completely remodelled and is predominately laid to lawn with gentle terracing. The mature garden is bordered by some mature planting, hedging and trees. It features numerous seating areas, a weatherboarded home office with cloakroom, a gravelled rear terrace incorporating a paved covered seating area with built-in seating, and a paved gable end terrace, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
