Description
Swifts House is a spacious and individual four-bedroom detached home set in a desirable countryside location. This property blends character and practicality, offering a range of well-proportioned living spaces and a converted double garage. Electric gates at the entrance lead to a large gravel driveway and a beautifully landscaped garden, creating a welcoming first impression.
Ground Floor
The light-filled entrance hall sets the tone for the home’s inviting interior, with stairs leading to the first floor and convenient access to all main living areas. To the left, the main sitting room is a standout feature, boasting dual-aspect windows that allow natural light to flood the space. At one end, patio doors open to the rear garden, there is a substantial log-burning stove, exposed wooden beams, and thoughtfully arranged seating areas create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. This room flows seamlessly into a second reception space, currently designed as a library. From the library, a separate study overlooks the rear garden.
There is a spacious kitchen and dining room, where a range of hand-painted Shaker-style units, granite countertops, and a central breakfast bar. High-quality built-in appliances, including an induction hob. A utility room with ample storage, plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a WC near the front door, making the ground floor a well-rounded living environment.
First Floor
The first floor offers four double bedrooms. The main bedroom, located at the front of the house, is generously sized and features ample storage options. It is complemented by an ensuite bathroom fitted with contemporary sanitary ware, a separate walk-in shower, and tasteful finishes.
The family bathroom, equally well-appointed, includes a freestanding bath, a separate shower enclosure, and modern fixtures that serve the additional bedrooms. Bedroom two, also at the front, provides another bright, spacious double room. The third and fourth bedrooms, situated to the rear, continue the theme of comfortable, well-lit spaces and share the same attention to detail.
Garden and Garage
Outside, the property’s well-maintained garden is primarily laid to lawn, with access points on both sides of the house. A paved patio area at the rear is perfectly positioned for outdoor dining. The detached double garage, a notable feature of the property, includes external stairs that lead to a heated upper-level room. This versatile space, currently used as a home office, can easily adapt to other needs, such as a studio or television room. The gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking, and the electric gates ensure both privacy and security.
