The Property
Nestled at the end of a private drive, Bayhouse offers a perfect blend of privacy and charm. The property benefits from a right of way over the private driveway and is secured by gates and brick walls, providing ample parking space beyond, and access to a double garage, with mature borders framing the approach to the house. The front door, sheltered beneath a storm porch, welcomes you into the entrance hall.
The entrance hall sets the tone with its staircase leading to the galleried landing above and doors to the main reception rooms, kitchen, and cloakroom. The study is bright and inviting, bathed in natural light from four windows—two overlooking the front and one on each side of the house. The sitting room is spacious yet cosy, featuring a beautiful brick fireplace as its centrepiece. Two side windows bring in light, while double doors open onto the rear patio. Additional double doors connect the sitting room to the dining room, enhancing the flow of the home. Perfect for entertaining, the dining room overlooks the rear garden through its windows and offers direct access to the entrance hall and kitchen via separate doors.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, generously sized and well-equipped with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances, including a double oven, microwave, electric hob with extractor fan, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. Two side windows and double doors to the rear patio ensure the room is light and welcoming. Off the kitchen, the utility room provides additional storage and workspace, with fitted units, space for appliances such as a washing machine and under-counter fridge, and housing for the boiler. A front-facing window and side door add convenience and practicality.
Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom, with a large airing cupboard providing extra storage. The principal bedroom offers peaceful views over the rear garden and side aspect. It benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, complete with a panelled bath, WC, pedestal wash basin, and a side window. The second bedroom is a bright and spacious double room with rear-facing windows overlooking the garden. The third bedroom is another generously sized double room, with windows to both the rear and side. The fourth bedroom is positioned at the front of the property, offering plenty of space and natural light, while the fifth bedroom, also at the front, is perfect as a double room or versatile enough for other uses. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a panelled bath, separate shower, bidet, WC, and pedestal wash basin, complemented by a side window.
The rear garden is a true highlight, starting with a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing. Steps lead down to a verdant garden surrounded by mature shrubs and hedges, creating a serene and private retreat. The garden’s generous size and established greenery make it a delightful space to enjoy throughout the year.
Bayhouse is a beautifully balanced family home, combining spacious interiors with stunning outdoor spaces, all set in a tranquil and desirable location.
