ELEGANCE EXTENDED

Building from a position of strength is a good place to be, and an upgrade has got the desired results at this Gower property. CHRIS PEREGRINE reports

It is a home which is more attractive than ever following a modernisation programme which has hit the mark. There is no shortage of style in the elegant family property, which is only minutes away from clifftop walks in one of the most popular areas of Gower. The outdoor theme continues with level mature and private gardens and there is good off-road parking.

The detached house has benefited from a well put together extension and comprehensive update in recent times, and the result is light and spacious accommodation with a wellproportioned hall leading to the eyecatching kitchen/family room that links seamlessly to the rear garden via patio doors.

The downstairs also has a cloakroom and a utility room, while the upstairs is headlined by four double bedrooms, with an en suite to the first one and a separate shower room also in place. There is also gas central heating and double glazed PVCU windows and doors throughout.

The spacious hall features include a radiator in a feature cabinet and understairs storage, while the oak floor lounge/living room has a living flame coal effect gas fire in iron “dog grate” set into Minster-style stone surround. A chrome heated towel rail can be found in the cloakroom.

Oak flooring runs throughout the kitchen/family room, which has underfloor heating and lots of glass looking onto the pretty rear garden. There is an extensive range of cream shaker-style wall and base cabinets and drawers.

Solid granite work surfaces with white ceramic wall tiling over also features, as do items like a central island with solid granite work surface and breakfast bar with storage cabinets under. The utility room has a stainless steel sink unit set into granite effect work surfaces with cupboards under.

The landing has a pull-down ladder to a spacious loft and a roomy airing cupboard. Bedroom one has views to the clifftops, while the en suite includes a bath with chrome fittings, a corner shower cubicle with chrome shower unit and chrome heated towel rail. Two of the other three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the shower room has a floor-level shower cubicle with sliding glass screen and chrome shower, and a chrome heated towel rail.

Outside, a five-bar wooden gate leads to a secluded level front garden with mature hedge boundaries, flint chipping and a hardstand area with mature shrubs and bushes. There is terracing and a lawn in the rear garden, complemented by fenced and hedged boundaries with well stocked beds and borders.
