An exclusive small development in the peaceful and sought-after village of West Cranmore, this impressive detached house offers modern comfort with timeless style. Built 20 years ago, the property boasts generous living spaces, high quality finishes, and a strong sense of community just beyond your doorstep.
About the Inside
Accessed via a gravel driveway with space for up to four vehicles, the property welcomes you through a spacious hallway, complete with a convenient downstairs cloakroom. At the heart of the house lies a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room perfect for entertaining and everyday family life. Featuring maple kitchen units, granite worktops, and a large central island with a secondary sink, the kitchen is both stylish and practical. It includes a newly reconditioned Smeg gas range cooker with extractor, a new Kenwood dishwasher, and tumbled limestone flooring. Double doors open directly onto the sunny, private rear garden.
The ground floor also includes a handy utility room equipped with an additional sink and water softener leading through to the double garage for further storage or sheltered parking. Throughout the ground level, underfloor heating adds comfort, while most windows are fitted with bespoke Sanderson wooden shutters, adding elegance and privacy.
The dual-aspect sitting room is a tranquil retreat, with oak flooring and a newly installed wood burner set in a striking Doulting stone fireplace, sourced locally.
Upstairs, a solid oak staircase leads to three generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an ensuite shower room. Two of the bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, and the family bathroom has been tastefully renovated in a contemporary style.
A further staircase rises to the top floor, revealing a spectacular fourth double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. This expansive, light-filled space spans the width of the house and benefits from four large Velux windows, making it ideal as a main bedroom, guest suite, or studio.
About the outside
There is a small gravelled front garden with a pretty side gate that leads to the rear garden. The garden features a mix of decking and lawn, with a charming box hedge dividing the two areas.
In 2019, both sides of the house were stripped and recoated with a protective wall coating. This innovative treatment utilises the latest technology, incorporating synthetic resins, fibre glass reinforcement, granite, and natural earth pigments. Key benefits include a 100% waterproof membrane, breathability, durability, and flexibility, with a 20-year guarantee.
