3 bedroom detached house

With attractive, heritage architecture, Torleigh is an appealing cottage-style dwelling which features decorative brickwork and ornate gable fascias, with the interiors showcasing stunning vintage fireplaces. Offering almost 2 000 sq. ft of homely and versatile accommodation, the entrance hall gives access to two reception rooms comprising a drawing room to one side and a flexible-use family room to the other, which in turn leads to a home office/study. Two skylight windows fill the kitchen
with natural light, with two further south-east facing windows providing an outlook over the garden. Fitted with wall and base level units and wooden worksurfaces, the kitchen features display shelving and terracotta-tiling to the floor. Providing a further bright and airy setting, the adjoining conservatory currently presents as a formal dining room where glazed expanses allow the outside environment to be appreciated throughout the seasons and French doors offer a route to the al fresco terrace.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the ground and first floors, with the principal en suite room on the lower level featuring a part-vaulted
ceiling with exposed painted beams and a picture window. On the upper level, the galleried landing leads to two further bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom.

Evergreen hedging, backed by a length of fencing, fronts the lane with majestic trees creating a sense of privacy to the home. A timber five-bar gate marks the access onto a gravelled driveway which provides parking and leads to the timber garage outbuilding. An abundance of climbing shrubbery adorns the frontage of the cottage, and the garden
provides a lush, secluded sanctuary with features including areas of lawn, low-level clipped evergreen hedging, mature shrubs and pretty perennial plants.
