Description
This stylishly appointed brick and flint home was built in the 2000s and enjoys a tucked away setting off the Henley Road on a private cul de sac. The superb setting, high-quality fixtures and fittings and good-size rooms make it a great choice for a family home or a downsizing audience, and the house enjoys excellent natural light from a favourable south-westerly aspect. The redecorated interiors give the house a premium feel: the sitting room, with its elegant wall coverings and inset wood-burning stove is the perfect space for the whole family to relax; the formal dining room is ideal for entertaining; the kitchen/breakfast room has a dual aspect over the front and rear, with access to the garden and a utility room with space for laundry appliances. The white cabinets, neutral walls and grey quartz surfaces are lifted with pink-painted island, complete with a wine fridge, while excellent natural light is provided by electric Velux windows. There is also a cloakroom with WC.
On the first floor there are five double bedrooms, three of which have built-in storage. One bath/shower room is jack and jill to two of the bedrooms, and there is a further family bathroom.
Touchwood Barn is set back from the road in a corner position, on a small, boutique development of just a handful of similar homes. The property has excellent kerb appeal, set behind a manicured hedge with the contrasting brick and flint and wood elevations adding character. The parking area is accessed from the shared gravel driveway, leading up to the attached double garage. To the rear, the southwest-facing garden is fully enclosed, a raised flowerbed to the rear stocked with trees and colourful plants providing a lovely back drop to the lawn and the good-size paved terrace. The garden has two side gates for access and also features a wooden shed.
