The home

A bay fronted three/four bedroom home on a quiet cul-de-sac in Montpelier, offering three reception rooms and a private south facing garden, with some pleasant views from the loft room. Entrance is into a generous hallway, with floorboards underfoot and the formal living room on your left. The living room benefits from the bay window, sumptuous fireplace and dual aspect, helping to flood the room with light. Heading back through the hallway is the second reception room, utilised as a playroom with an opening to the contemporary dining area. A large hole in the wall has been created from the kitchen through to the dining space, suiting modern family living and essentially creating a bespoke kitchen/dining area. The recently fitted kitchen boasts dark green cupboard doors, gas hob and oak worktops. The dining room is encompassed by a vaulted yet panelled ceiling, adding to the feeling of space with double doors opening to the garden. Heading upstairs there are three double bedrooms, all of equal size and a striking three piece bathroom. The second and final floor houses the loft room, currently used as a snug and offering fantastic views across Montpelier and beyond.

The outside space

The plot begins with a small front yard, offering little maintenance and plenty of space for bike storage if needed. Heading to the rear, the garden is tranquil and private, also facing south which is perfect for sun throughout the day. The garden is mainly lawn, with an attractive stone wall perimeter, patio area and wooden shed.
