DESCRIPTION 12 Gwedhennek was built in the early 1990 s to an interesting individual design, in a small close of stylish upmarket homes set off by a herringbone brick laid approach through gate piers and wonderful planting. This exclusive setting is to the backdrop of numerous tall trees which help give Gwedhennek a special feeling. To the front planted beds surround a driveway with space for two cars in front of the integral garage and paths lead around either side of the detached house to a good sized rear garden which wraps around the wings of the house on two sides and is exquisitely stocked and maintained. The garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and patios overlook the beautiful
3 beds with a concealed working area in the garden having two sheds hidden behind a stone wall and an access out onto a road at the rear. In the lower part of the garden are vegetable and fruit beds and there are two apple trees on an area of lawn in the upper part of the garden. The house was extended by our clients in 2004/5 creating additional space at both ground and first floors. On the ground floor this has allowed the kitchen to expand into a kitchen/dining room with space for a separate sitting area and glazed doors opening into the garden. Also on the ground floor is the entrance porch and hall, wc, a double bedroom and the integral garage which has a utility area to the rear. The lounge is on the first floor and is dual aspect, opening onto a balcony and also has a fireplace. The master bedroom is also dual aspect and has an en-suite shower room and what would have been a small bedroom has now been greatly expanded during the extension to go with the fourth bedroom which is also found on this floor along with a family bathroom. This is a well presented and surprising spacious interesting modern home of low maintenance design in a great location close to the beach and so many facilities.
