With an attractive façade featuring the warm tones of natural sandstone, and sash and arched feature windows, Number 2 The Garden House offers an appealing period home with the perfect blend of enchanting characteristics and contemporary presentation ideally suited to modern lifestyles. The bright and spacious reception hall gives access into a sitting room which enjoys the comforting ambience of a wood-burning stove set within a stone feature fireplace. Filled with natural light, the adjacent versatile-use family room provides an alternative area to relax with a glazed door linking to the rear garden terrace. There is a wall of display and storage shelving in the tucked-away ground floor office which provides an ideal setting for home-workers. The double-aspect kitchen/breakfast room provides a convivial environment, which is fitted with farmhouse-style cabinetry, a Belfast sink and modern Metro wall-tiling.
The four bedrooms on the first floor benefit from the elevated outlook over the surrounding countryside, with the principal room having a well-appointed en suite dressing room and stylish bathroom with vintage-inspired fittings including a claw-foot freestanding tub. Bedroom two has an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom complete this floor.<br /><br />To the rear aspect, a driveway of pavers gives access to the garaging, parking area and arched walkway which provides a route via a run of steps down to a front courtyard and the entrance portal of the home. This secluded setting has gravelled pockets suited to installing garden seating and brick-edged raised borders contain pretty, floral ground and climbing plants. A stable door provides an access point directly into the generous utility room which links into the garaging, and a further door opens to the passageway connecting through to the rear garden which is bordered by beautiful beech hedging. There is a paved setting just outside the family room which offers a sunny, south-facing spot to dine and relax, with an area of lawn following the incline downwards to a low-stone wall divide and steps leading to a second grassed section of the garden.<br /><br />Whalton is a picturesque conservation village of sandstone houses with local amenities including a village hall which hosts clubs and events, a primary school and a popular public house.
