About the Home
Designed to impress from the very first sight, The Scrivener’s external architectural flourishes include an attractive double bay window, offering a glimpse of the wonderful living space within. This 4-bedroom home is well-suited to families looking for more space to grow into, and flexibility to adapt to ever-evolving lifestyles.
The heart of The Scrivener is its open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, which will draw family and guests together around the kitchen breakfast bar, or a dining table for more formal entertaining. French doors in the dining area open onto the rear garden, and there is room considered in the layout for a snug area to relax in comfort. The separate utility room lies off the kitchen, allowing the kitchen to be dedicated to cooking, and it has a door to the outside, which is useful on laundry days.
The separate living room is cosy and inviting, and the feature bay window adds dimension to the room, whilst drawing in lots of light. Across the hallway is the cloakroom, conveniently located by the front door, and an understairs storage cupboard completes the ground floor level.
On the first floor, bedrooms 1 and 2 are double in size, and bedroom 1 benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms 2,3 and 4 all share use of the family bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms are ideally sized for children’s bedrooms, or alternatively, one could be used as a private home office or a gym space. A useful storage cupboard is located on the landing, for keeping towels and bed linens neatly organised.
