Description Situated in the highly sought-after village of Islip, this distinctive architect-designed property presents an attractive detached family home with bright, spacious accommodation throughout. The rear is complemented by a beautifully landscaped garden wrapping around the side of the house, featuring a secluded alfresco dining area that provides a charming and inviting setting. To the front, a further garden is laid out with mature trees and shrubs. The property also benefits from gated driveway parking, while the former double garage (no longer accessible by car) offers excellent storage or workshop space, as well as flexible potential for use as a home office or studio, opening to the garden. Built in the 1980’s, the present owners have in recent years updated the property which includes the installation of high spec bathrooms, replacing the conservatory and landscaping the garden. The ground floor accommodation comprises a stone entrance porch with double doors opening to the welcoming entrance hall with the principal rooms leading off. The triple aspect sitting/dining room is a particularly spacious and attractive room with fireplace and boxed bay window, a lovely place to sit and enjoy the garden from; and providing the flexibility for a number of uses is the study/family room with access to the front garden. At the rear of the house the kitchen/breakfast room with larder, integrated Neff and AEG appliances and solid oak work surfaces including a breakfast bar, and conservatory off, provides a sociable gathering space for family and friends. Adjoining the kitchen are the utility room and separate laundry/boot room with cloakroom and access to the garden. To the first floor are the generous dual aspect principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en-suite shower room and three further well-proportioned bedrooms, all serviced by the family bathroom. The bath/shower rooms were designed and installed by Inspired Restorations in Noke.
