Come On In…

Stone steps lead up to the front door where the original stained glass windows bounces colourful light prisms across the hallway’s checkerboard tile floor and ornate plaster arch.

The elegant living room sits at the front with herringbone wooden flooring trimmed in brass. Light pours into the room through the box-bay window, sheltered from the street below by white plantation blinds. Ambient lighting sets the perfect mood, whether snuggling up on the sofa in front of a roaring fire and a good movie or enjoying cocktails with dinner party guests as the ceiling halo light creates the ideal atmosphere.

The cloakroom has surprisingly bright decor, adorned with William Morris wallpaper for a vibrant finish. It has a WC and wash hand basin in keeping with Victorian styling.

“It has been so wonderful being able to call Vermont our home.”

Beautiful Kitchen…

The showstopping kitchen is a social space that amalgamates the home’s elegance with modern convenience and space to gather the family together. Bespoke cabinetry, painted in Studio Green with multiple coats to ensure a hard-wearing finish, sits beneath leather-finished granite worktops. There is a Fisher & Paykel American-style fridge freezer, two built-in dishwashers, a Range cooker and a built-in Miele oven for cooking your meals, all great for when you have a large family gathering or party. The central island has a Shaws of Darwin Belfast sink and a second fridge; it is also the perfect place to lean as you chat over a glass of wine while dinner is prepared. Porcelain tiles cover the floor and there is an exposed brick chimney and fire surround housing a wood burner for extra cosiness in the winter. You can prepare a cocktail for your guests from the bespoke bar and the magnificent Fisher & Paykel 128-bottle wine chiller ensures your drinks are ready to serve. Two separate French doors lead out onto the bespoke wraparound terrace which looks over the garden at the rear; a wonderful place to enjoy a moment of quiet in the morning before the household wakes up.

An entirely concealed door leads into the walk-in pantry where you will find a chalkboard wall for shopping lists and doodles alike, as well as shelving and storage. There is also an enclosed larder cupboard and breakfast bar.

“We have had some fantastic parties here; the home really lends itself to guests and gatherings.”
