10 Barntongate Avenue boasts 2 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms, 4/5 bedrooms, extensive cellar space, a large, enclosed garden, an attached garage, and a private driveway. Thanks to its desirable location and vast accommodation, this is the perfect family home.
On entering the home, you step into a practical vestibule leading into a hall with useful built-in storage. Immediately on your right is the living room, which is flooded in natural light from a south-facing box window. This sunny sitting area is arranged around a period marble fire surround framing an open fire. Further along the hall are an openly adjoined family room and kitchen. The family room exudes a cosy feel with a log-burning stove and offers a tranquil garden outlook via a floor-length picture window. Next door, the kitchen benefits from a stylish contemporary finish, with walnut-toned cabinetry and durable granite worktops, along with appliances. Completing the kitchen is a central unit incorporating a congenial breakfast bar, whilst formal dining is accommodated in an adjoining dining room. The dining room is brightly lit by a central skylight and a wall-to-wall picture window, whilst also providing garden access. A large utility room, reached from the hall, offers a useful separate storage and laundry facility, with a freestanding washing machine and traditional clothes pulley, built-in pantry storage and a log-burning stove.
Also on the ground floor are three bedrooms. The largest bedroom enjoys a south-facing box window, a shelved recess, and a homely log-burning stove. A further bedroom benefits from a handy washbasin and vanity unit. The bedrooms on this floor are served by a chic shower room, presented with exquisite, patterned wall tiling and fitted with a classic WC-suite and a deluxe shower enclosure with a rainfall showerhead. Completing the lower level of accommodation and reached via the utility room is an reception room. The dual-aspect room lends itself to numerous uses such as a gym, a games room or, owing to its additional external entrance, an office.
On the first floor, a sky-lit landing (with built-in storage and a ceiling-hung clothes pulley) affords access to the two remaining bedrooms. These comprise a dormer-fronted double with an incorporated store cupboard and a single bedroom currently utilised as a home office. The single bedroom and the landing allow access to generous eaves storage. An attractive three-piece family bathroom completes the upper accommodation. The property is heated via efficient gas central heating and double glazed throughout. Plentiful additional storage is provided with a sizeable cellar, incorporating three rooms, and accessed externally.
Outside, this delightful family home is complemented by front and rear gardens. Pleasantly overlooked by mature trees, the generous, fully enclosed rear garden includes a lawn, a patio seating area, and a shed with electrics. Finally, private parking for multiple vehicles is provided with a driveway leading to an attached single garage.
