Rosamonds Cottages, Kingswood, Buckinghamshire, HP18

DESCRIPTION
A 1940?s semi detached house, a style known for their solid build, good plots and space. The current owners have dramatically extended the property and created a ground floor on most people?s wish list.
At the entrance is an enclosed porch and then a hall where the staircase doglegs upwards and there are understairs and another storage cupboard provided. The front sitting room is of comfortable proportions and in the corner has a lovely old stock brick fireplace and cast iron woodburning stove set on a slate hearth.
The showpiece though is the kitchen, dining and living room with bi-fold doors that open out to the garden. A substantial area, the kitchen section fitted with white units and solid wood worktops and there is a large island of the same design. Integrated are a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a combination microwave and oven, and in the island is a spot for a cooking range. The use of the room is versatile, its wow factor is striking.
Off here is a utility room with more cupboards and worktops incorporating a butlers sink, and finally a cloakroom that has a wc and wash basin.
Aside from the sitting room all of the ground floor is adorned with beautiful Italian wood effect porcelain flooring and much of the ground floor has underfloor heating.

Upstairs on the landing is a big closet. The guest bedrooms can accommodate double beds and the front bedroom enjoys superb views over fields. There is a stunning main bedroom with a shower room and bespoke wardrobes, drawers and a window seat along one wall. In the bathroom is a smart contemporary white suite and above the bath a Mira shower and complimentary screen.

OUTSIDE
The Italian porcelain flooring cleverly continues onto the terrace to give the indoor/outdoor transition a seamless flow. Nearly half the terrace is sheltered by a covered pergola that benefits from lighting. Most of the garden is lawn, a flower bed runs down the side and at the bottom is a tall conifer hedge and a 10ft x 8ft shed that has power and a light.

The frontage comprises a concrete hardstanding driveway for 2 vehicles and further parking is available on the shingle. Gated access to the rear.

AGENTS NOTE: The property has a large loft offering scope for possible conversion.
