The accommodation at 86 Whitchurch Road is laid out over four floors with reception space on the ground and lower ground floors, and the bedrooms on the ground, first and second floors.

The adjoining dining area has plenty of space for a large table and so makes hosting large gatherings of family and friends a breeze.

The high ceilings and abundant glazing of the large living room on the ground floor again create a light and airy space, with a further set of bifold doors opening on to a Juliet balcony with glass balustrade designed to take best advantage of the spectacular views over the River Tavy Valley. The open fireplace in marble surround helps keep things cosy on cooler winter evenings. To the front of the ground floor is Bedroom 4 which has a lovely bay window looking towards the front of the home. Although currently used as a bedroom, this room could equally function as a third reception space if desired.
The wood panelled stairs to the first floor are flooded with light via the double height stairway topped with a large Velux window. The landing here gives access to Bedrooms 2 and 3, both of which are doubles, as well as the family bathroom and separate WC. On the top floor is a delightful principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and two Velux skylights enjoying far reaching views, a walk in wardrobe and a good size en suite bathroom with feature round porcelain sink.

A paved area at the front of the property separates the property from the street frontage and a useful storage shed is a great place for bikes, pushchairs etc. From here a path leads to the front door, and steps lead down to a lower ground floor entrance. At the rear of the home is a substantial garden of approximately 200 feet in length. The kitchen diner opens on to a paved patio great for al fresco dining on warm summer evenings. From here lawns bordered by mature shrubs run down to a small orchard area and beyond is a further lawn with a versatile timber lodge shaded by mature trees. This fantastic bonus space has been used as a home office and as additional sleeping accommodation for guests or for teenage parties and sleep overs. The main room has a built in set of timber bunk beds and beyond this is a separate bedroom. Further down the garden is a sunken covered building ideal for parties or BBQs or just getting away from it all and enjoying a good book.
