28 High Street is a handsome architecturally designed property offering almost 4000 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation in a T-shaped configuration arranged over two light-filled floors. Designed to provide a stunning family and entertaining space and featuring numerous exposed A-frame beams and flagstone flooring throughout with underfloor heating. The accommodation flows from a spacious and welcoming double-height part-vaulted reception/dining hall with useful cloakroom, central freestanding modern woodburner and galleried landing over which is currently used as a home office. This opens into an extensive triple aspect reception room with French doors to the front terrace and bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, and a large part-double-height kitchen/breakfast room with a range of contemporary wall and base units with fitted Miele appliances including a large central island with breakfast bar, galleried landing over and bi-fold doors to the garden to two aspects. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a bedroom wing providing three bedrooms, one with French doors to the front garden, fitted dressing room and contemporary en suite bathroom, a modern family bathroom and a fitted utility room with doors to both the garden and the integral double garage.
The part-vaulted first floor is dedicated to an extensive principal bedroom suite, accessed over a spacious galleried landing with feature double-height glazing, which in addition to a wooden-floored bedroom also provides a fitted dressing room, seating and office areas which could be turned into the 5th bedroom, store and large en suite bathroom, skylights throughout flooding the whole area with natural light.
Outside
Set behind low-level hedging and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through a five-bar gate over a gravelled driveway giving access to the integral double garage and feature vaulted oaks porch with paved terrace, flanked by a well-maintained front garden laid mainly to lawn interspersed with specimen trees. The generous rear garden is paved for ease of maintenance and features a large wraparound paved terrace with gazebo-covered seating/dining area, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
