ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Located to the heart of Wenvoe village, Grove House is understood to have been built in the mid 1920 s adjoining an older stone built cottage. In more recent years, the accommodation has been significantly extended and effortlessly blends original, period features with a modern style and the conveniences required these days. An entrance hallway with checkered tiled floor features a staircase running to the first floor bedrooms and doors leading to the lounge, to the second sitting room and to the kitchen/dining space to the rear. A further door opens into the ground floor WC and shower room. The family lounge has a square bay with double glazed windows overlooking the front garden and, as a focal feature, a cassette style wood burner is recessed into the chimney breast flanked to both sides by shelved alcoves. A second large reception room again looks to the front elevation and has a central chimney breast with gas fire flanked by shelving. Both these rooms - and the utility room - feature the same wonderfully toned original wood block flooring. A more recent addition to the property, the kitchen/living/dining room is a superb multi-purpose family space. An extremely stylish modern kitchen looks on to the living/dining area having bi-fold doors looking out to the rear garden; vertical glazed floor to ceiling windows provide further natural light. The kitchen includes a very good range of units with Miele appliances to remain including: oven, microwave/grill combination oven, warming drawer, both gas and electric hobs and integrated dishwasher. Space remains for a tall freestanding fridge/freezer. French oak flooring extends throughout this room. An adjacent utility room includes additional storage and space/plumbing for a washing machine and a dryer. Central landing area has doors leading to all four bedrooms and to the family bathroom. The two largest bedrooms are both especially generous in size, both looking to the front elevation and both including a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes. A third double bedroom overlooks the rear garden while a fourth single bedroom, to the side elevation, includes fitted wardrobes and is currently used as a home study. The family bathroom is to the rear of the property and is of a modern design with bath and shower cubicle. There is an adjacent, separate WC.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

A pull-in from Old Port Road leads to a pillared gateway opens onto a paved driveway to the side of the property. A low level wall divides the drive from the enclosed front garden whilst the generously proportioned front garden is screened from Old Port Road by stone walling with mature hedging atop. This deep front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a paved area immediately fronting the two principal reception rooms. The driveway runs to the side of the property to the principle entrance door and continues, via a gated entrance, into the rear garden. The wonderfully sheltered, enclosed landscaped garden includes paved seating areas positioned to catch the morning and afternoon/evening sun leading onto a central lawn. The lawn, in turn, is edged by raised beds with striking planting.
