Clara is a most attractive period-style home that beautifully blends traditional character with modern design, built in the mid 1990's. The property is approached through a pedestrian gate, from which steps lead up to a meticulously maintained front garden. The exterior presents an appealing combination of brick and render, complemented by a charming porch and two elegant bay windows that enhance its classic architectural style.


Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the impressive double-height entrance hall, flooded with natural light from a Velux(skylight) window overhead and setting the tone for the space and quality found throughout the home. To the front, the sitting room provides a warm and inviting retreat, enjoying a dual aspect with a large bay window overlooking the garden. This light filled reception room is further enhanced by a gas coal-effect fireplace with a marble surround, along with ceiling coving and a decorative central rose, all of which add to its refined ambience.


Also located on this level is the principal bedroom, a spacious and light-filled dual-aspect room featuring a bay window to the front. It includes tasteful period-style detailing such as ceiling coving and a centre rose, while a full wall of fitted wardrobes offers ample storage. Cleverly concealed within these wardrobes is access to a well-appointed en suite shower room, which is fully tiled and includes a shower, wash hand basin(sink), WC(toilet), heated towel rail, and a side window.
Upstairs, the landing benefits from a Velux skylight, creating a bright and airy circulation space with access to the attic. Bedroom two is a generous double room positioned to the rear, complete with fitted wardrobes and ceiling coving. The main bathroom is well designed and includes a bath, separate shower, WC, and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit, along with a heated towel rail and a window to the rear. From here, there is access to bedroom three, which also overlooks the rear of the property and enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the hillside. This room includes fitted wardrobes, ceiling coving, and access to a second attic space.


Downstairs from the hall leads to the heart of the house — a generous open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room. The kitchen and living areas are divided by a characterful brick fireplace fitted with a gas fire. The living area has glazed patio doors leading to a generous patio, which is southwest-facing and a real sun trap. The utility room is located off the kitchen and includes a hot press (hot water cylinder and linen storage) and the gas boiler, which serves a zoned central heating system. Finally a fourth bedroom/home office which is bright and airy completes the accommodation.
