Tor Avenue, Greenmount

Park up along the in and out driveway, tucked behind a border of mature trees and shrubs, lending a screen of greenery to the front.

Shelter beneath the shade of the portico entrance, spacious and light, with space for bench seating when removing muddy wellington boots after a walk around the country lanes.

Light continues to stream through into the spacious glazed porch, currently used as an art studio, and leading on into the main home.

Immediately the home opens up in the entrance hall, where honey-toned wooden flooring stretches out underfoot, whilst on the left, a modern, metal-balustrade staircase leads up to the first floor. On the right, storage for coats and boots can be found in the large cloakroom, with window and radiator.

Converging in the main entrance hall, the rooms flow out in all directions, with the bright and airy lounge beckoning to the left.

Forest green shades dress the central chimney breast, within which a multifuel stove blazes warmth and welcome. Light shines in through the bountiful bay window to the front, whilst to the rear, double doors offer instant connection to the dining room.

Also accessed directly off the entrance hall, the dining room opens to a music room. Flooded with light and glorious views from doors opening out to the patio, the music room also leads through into the home office, highlighting the easy family flow and open connection that defines this home.

Returning to the lounge, step through into the cosily carpeted conservatory, a place to relax and unwind in communion with nature and the outdoors whatever the season. In summertime, step outside and soak up the sunshine for garden gatherings and barbecues in the sunshine.

An inner hallway to the right of the entrance hall leads along to provide access to a large utility room on the left. With views out over the garden, this spacious and practical room is well furnished with fitted storage, with plenty of space for a washing machine, dryer and even a fridge freezer. A fitted rail is great for airing laundry.

Across the hallway, freshen up in the downstairs WC, with wash basin set within an iridescent granite worktop, beneath which further storage space awaits.

Feast your eyes on the family kitchen at the end of the hallway: the sociable heart of the home. Superbly sized, with ample space for a breakfast table at its centre, alongside a separate island-breakfast bar, light streams in through windows to two sides and French doors to the rear. Cleverly zoned, there is plenty of preparation space, cabinetry for storage and a host of appliances including Neff dishwasher and microwave alongside a fridge-freezer and Falcon cooker with extractor. A pantry-style cupboard provides excellent storage for all your cereals and breakfast essentials.

Views beckon out over the garden and driveway, leading to a garage at the end.

Snuggle up in front of the contemporary log-burning stove in the winter months, or, in the summer, throw open the French doors and invite the balmy breeze through, offering instant access out to the patio with water feature.

From the entrance hall ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, where newly laid neutral toned carpet extends underfoot, light spilling from the feature chandelier down over the stairwell.

Turning left, retreat to the first of the warm and welcoming bedrooms. Spacious and bright, this large double bedroom is dressed in soothing minimal tones and offers leafy views to the front.

Coming out of this bedroom, next door on the left is a second spacious double bedroom, dressed in earthy tones and looking out over the private and well stocked mature garden at the rear.

Centrally situated along the landing, the family bathroom is tiled underfoot in off white tones, with glossy tiles on the walls. Freshen up in the shower with drench head and wand attachment, with wash basin and WC also available.

Sleep also beckons in the third of the double bedrooms, where a wall of fitted wardrobes provide ample storage. Overhead, a hatch provides access up to the loft, handy for further storage. Loft access can also be found on the main landing.

Nestled to the front of the home, light and bright, with views out over the leafy boughs to the front, the principal bedroom is a sanctuary of sleep. With ample space for a king size bed, fitted furniture including a dressing table and bank of wardrobes serves your every seasonal storage need. Beyond, a hidden door opens into the bountiful shower room ensuite. Warmed by underfloor heating, spa-like tiles coat the walls, whilst a wooden countertop fitted with dual wash basins emanates Japandi, nature-inspired finesse.

Refresh and revive in the double ended walk in wet-room shower with drench head and handheld attachment or luxuriate in the bubbles within the double-ended deep bathtub.

Surrounding the home on all sides, the garden at Tor Avenue is a true extension of the living space.

Laid mainly to lawn for ease of upkeep, mature borders deliver seasonal colour, texture and scent throughout the year. A circular patio adds sculptural elegance and a natural focal point, while seating areas dotted around the garden offer sunshine or shade as the day unfolds.

From peaceful morning coffees to afternoons pottering in the greenhouse or evening meals beside the gentle water feature, there's space here for every mood, every moment and every member of the family.
