About the Home
With a grand exterior and a remarkable amount of living space within, The Milliner is a 4-bedroom home that will meet – and certainly exceed – the needs of larger families, particularly those with older children. A magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family area is designed to gather the family together, while the four double bedrooms can provide all members of the household with their own comfortable spaces to enjoy.

The front door leads into the hallway, from which the ground floor radiates out. The separate and substantial living room occupies the length of the home and boasts a dual aspect, including French doors that open onto the rear garden, welcoming you outside and bringing the sunshine in.

The Milliner’s open-plan kitchen, dining and family area has an attractive L-shaped layout, which cleverly zones each area whilst allowing light, music and conversation to flow. The kitchen offers an impressive amount of worktop space for preparation and cooking, while the dining area easily accommodates a family-sized dining table, and benefits from a second set of French doors opening to the garden – a delightful feature when entertaining guests outdoors, and useful for keeping an eye on younger family members as they play.

Leading off the dining space is the family area, which is versatile in its purpose. It would make a cosy and inviting snug in which to relax with family and friends, a playroom to keep toys contained, or even an enviable home bar area. The cloakroom, conveniently located in the entrance hallway alongside a storage cupboard, completes the ground floor level.

Upstairs are all four bedrooms, the first of which incorporates an en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms share use of the family bathroom. Bedroom 4, situated to the rear of the home, has a peaceful location and is optimally sized for a nursery, guest room, or private home office. On the landing, a deep storage cupboard is ideal for keeping the household’s towels and bed linens well organised.
