Our Home
Cottage-style two storey house in a secluded cul-de-sac of 14 similar houses with rooves alternately tiled and thatched.
Upstairs comprises: Master bedroom, small double bedroom, study room with a double sofa-bed and 2 computers sharing broadband access, luxury bathroom with shower, bath, bidet and WC.
Ground floor comprises : WC/Utility Room with washing machine and tumble dryer, 2010 remodelled luxury kitchen with dishwasher, oven/hob, and microwave, large L-shaped lounge letting out onto decking and then lawn. Lounge is equipped with HiFi system, LCD panel TV and DVD/HDD recorder.
The decking is bounded by a small pond and a running water feature, and is secluded from neighbours with a roll away awning for shade. The lawn is surrounded by high hedges and flower beds to the sides and a small wood to the rear. There is a Gas BBQ grill and a variety of eating areas with chairs and tables for dining or just sitting around outside. There is a summer-house which we use for outdoor dining which has heating for cold nights and another which houses an 8-person heated whirlpool spa. A hammock can be suspended from the tree and the summer house. The garden is well designed and laid out with hidden walkways, numerous pots and a large variety of flowers and shrubs and has a greenhouse, storage shed and compost area. It is included in the local Open Gardens day every other year.
