Description
18 Barrel Close is a stunning family home which has undergone significant enhancements to suit modern, family living. It provides adaptable living areas, a wonderful master suite and a magnificent open plan kitchen/dining room with large sliding doors to a family friendly garden. Occupying a very large plot, the house sits within its fantastic mature gardens and offers almost total privacy. The South facing gardens and large sun terrace offer areas for socialising, playing and relaxing and flow from the sliding and patio doors in the main reception areas.
The entrance to Barrel Close has automatic iron gates opening between brick pillars which lead into a paved drive that only serves the property and its neighbours.
The pretty front garden leads to the front door which opens into a spacious entrance hallway with an under stairs storage cupboard and space for shoes, pushchairs and coats. There is a ground floor cloakroom on the left. All internal doors are solid oak and the beautiful staircase features oak-bannisters with glass panels to maximise light.
The door to your right opens into the lovely double aspect and generously sized sitting room with a stylish Contura wood-burning stove and granite hearth. It is filled with light from the large windows and french doors which open onto the garden.
The door ahead opens into what is a truly spectacular open plan kitchen/dining room with a striking outlook through sliding doors to an outside entertaining area. This fantastic space is perfect for families to spend time together whether it be eating, doing homework or entertaining.
The kitchen area is fitted with an excellent range of handmade, wooden cabinetry from the Neptune Suffolk range, hand-painted and with oak interiors and shaker-style chrome handles. The kitchen includes pan drawers, a large island with integrated NEFF dishwasher and washing machine, a double ceramic sink and a beautiful double-door breakfast cupboard with oak interior to accommodate a toaster, microwave and non-perishable foodstuffs. The cabinetry is complemented by the marble effect Silestone quartz work surfaces and upstands and there is space for a double range cooker and American style fridge/freezer. In addition to the main kitchen cabinetry, the dining area features built in Neptune oak full length open shelves providing additional storage. The room enjoys zoned lighting and ceramic flooring. There is a part glazed exterior door to the side of the house to access a large patio to the side of the property.
The first floor accommodation is thoughtfully laid out from a large central landing.
The master bedroom has a superb luxury en-suite which features a large shower and separate bath. The main guest bedroom also has an ensuite with a large shower, and has lovely views over the garden and countryside beyond.
The further, high specification family bathroom is bright and practical with white sanitary ware including a shower over the bath. There are two more good-sized double bedrooms on the first floor, with views over the front garden and beyond. At present the owners use one of these double bedrooms as a fantastic office space.
On the second floor a light flooded and spacious landing, currently being used as a second office space, connects two very big double dual aspect bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has a stylish en suite with a large shower.
