First Impressions
There’s a certain charm here at 121 Hardy Mill Road, both inside and out, with lots of lovely little touches which are evidence of the love that has been poured into this home over the years by the current owners – they have absolutely loved their life here and the many happy memories made – and its sure to make a wonderful home for its lucky new owners, who can simply move in, unpack, and enjoy their new chapter in this pristine period property.
The tall hedges along the property’s entire boundary create an incredible amount of privacy while allowing lots of sunshine to flood into all the gardens and the home – the best of both worlds! Inside there’s a blending of different period styles throughout which complement each other just perfectly, and create a truly unique finish that the most established interior designers would be proud of. Victorian and Edwardian features such as original solid wood doors and decorative stained glass windows bring a period touch, while subtle contemporary design trends tastefully bring the home into stylish 21st Century living, and streams of natural light pour in through large windows creating that desirable bright and airy ambience.
Stroll through the front gate underneath the leafy green archway into the secret garden and make your way inside…
The Living Space
The front door is tucked away in the corner of the front garden, adding to that pleasant private feel. Turn the key and step inside, and the hallway’s bright and airy atmosphere welcomes you with open arms. Fresh white walls are presented with pristine vintage wallpaper which sits beneath picture rails – the first of many featured throughout the home – and a gorgeous wood floor underfoot brings a welcome contrast.
To the right of the hallway sits the lounge, and what a beautiful room this is. A large bay window continues the bright and airy vibes, while the period fireplace with open fire is sure to create a cosy scene in the winter months, where logs are ablaze with a subtle crackle and warm orange glow. The impressive carved wooden mantle with period cast iron detailing set within is magnificent. A true period feature that is hard to find nowadays. And the exposed brick feature wall brings a rustic touch while adding to the ever so charming character. And this is only the first room we’ve explored!
Back into the hallway and the kitchen is situated along the right hand side of the property where a variety of period features continue… The Edwardian style floor tiles immediately catch your eye underfoot, with feature beam work admired overhead, such features fit ever so well with the period style kitchen units and tiled splashbacks – if you are looking for a quirky home that is brimming with character yet firmly established in excellent condition in the modern age, this is it! And on the practical side of life, adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility with complementary design, plenty of extra storage space, plumbing for the washer/dryer, and a Velux window ensuring plenty of natural light.
From the kitchen a set of beautifully restored Victorian glass double doors swing open into the large multi-functional reception/dining room, which is a nod to that highly sought after open plan modern living with a real flow between rooms. The elegant interior design continues here, with wall panelling and a gorgeous stained glass internal window being the most notable feature, and a Velux window is a 21st Century touch. This large open plan space will be absolutely brilliant for family life and when hosting family and friends, and the French doors open onto the back garden making it a lovely room to enjoy in the summer months for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
A third reception room benefitting from another set of French doors which will be equally as desirable in the summer months is the orangery – its orientation cleverly planned… As the sun moves through the sky on blue sky summer days, you can move from the back reception room and back garden and into the orangery and side garden – how great is that! And of course this third reception room will be handy for busy family life, offering versatility and practicality in its use, and will be a nice space to relax in and enjoy your garden all year round while keeping toasty and warm inside.
Sleeping & Bathing
Upstairs are the generous bedrooms, with three on the first floor and the fourth being a converted attic bedroom. It’s no surprise the interiors on the upper floors are found in immaculate condition with a selection of further period features – another decorative stained glass window, picture rails and original restored window casings to name just a few.
The largest bedroom sits at the front with a super generous footprint, and the second bedroom sits to the rear which is also a substantial double. Though the largest bedroom is at the front, you may actually want to make the master bedroom the one at the rear because of the superb countryside views – it will certainly be a glorious sight to wake up to each morning. You might have to fight over it with the kids! The third bedroom is also situated on the first floor, also benefitting from the tranquil scenery at the rear, and a secret set of stairs leads you up to the fourth bedroom which also takes full advantage of the rolling countryside views through two large Velux windows. This converted attic room is ideal for a teenager who wants their own space – it’s probably one of the coolest attic rooms they can imagine! Alternatively, if you’re only looking to use three bedrooms, this beautiful attic room would make a fantastic art studio or yoga room, or any other hobby where you can unwind and enjoy some quiet time.
The Outside Space
If you are a keen gardener or just love spending time outside enjoying your garden on sunny summer days, the outside space at 121 will be a dream come true. Three separate yet equally private garden areas envelope the house and provide you with a choice of outside spaces to enjoy, and as mentioned above you can follow the sun round as it moves through the sky! When in full bloom these gardens will be a wonder for the senses…
At the front a secluded lawn area is sprinkled pink with the Cherry Blossom tree's confetti during the Spring. The Azalea plant at the front fills the living room with a sweet fragrance and splash of colour when blooming, and being encased by a stone wall this space feels safe for your little ones to play. The side garden is equally as beautiful where you can pop up your table and chairs and enjoy an al fresco lunch sat in the sun. And the back courtyard is paved with stone slabs, surrounding the central island filled with fragrant Lavender. Cottage flowers will bring splashes of colour, and if you ever fancied your own veg patch then this would be a perfect place to bring it into reality! A small shed to store away your gardening tools and pots sits in the corner, and access to the garage is through the gate to the back, providing you with two entrances to choose from if you wanted to park your car at the back.
