more about this place...

The house is part of a new gated development of 5 town mews houses, all with three storeys. The property includes a private courtyard at the front, suitable for alfresco dining and barbecues in the summer months.

Downstairs you’ll find a modern and well-equipped kitchen, a compact eating area that seats 6 and plenty of cooking, baking and serving paraphernalia. The hallway, stairs and living room are colourful, bright and smart. There are some quirky bits and pieces including a miniature Eastport Pram sailing dinghy for a coffee table. There are masses of novels, reference and children’s books, and plenty of games to suit all ages.

Moving to the first floor there is a family bathroom and two bedrooms. One is colourful with twin beds that can also joined to become a super king bed. The second is a light and airy double room with an ensuite, quirky library themed wallpaper and a Juliette balcony.

The top floor is a light, airy and roomy. It runs the whole width of the house and has its own shower room and small private balcony. There is a Kingsize bed, a sofa for reading and a small desk and chair for those who still need a space to work whilst away. There is plenty of room for a travel cot in this room and here is where the additional airbed can be set up.

The courtyard garden is leafy with a pagoda and climbing greenery, fairy lights and plenty of potted plants. It is big enough to host a BBQ with table and chairs to seat six, plus a carved chair and a practical bench with storage space. There is a chiminea and room to secure bicycles hidden from view. If you want town gardens and outdoor space to play the nearest public gardens and play are close by.
