HOW does a property in Fairy Road sound to you? It sounds rather magical — perhaps a little whimsical — but above all it sounds like it will be absolutely delightful.

Indeed, this week’s top property takes us to Fairy Road, Seaview, to a house so quirkily named it is sure to ignite most imaginations before even stepping inside.

The house is named Timbuktu, after the historic city in Mali. Given many of us associate Timbuktu with being a long way away, it’s perhaps fitting this version of Timbuktu is so nicely arranged and presented, in a great location, it would make most days feel like a holiday.

From this home the local beach, yacht club and numerous amenities of Seaview are all nearby. There is off-road parking accessed via double gates from the road and providing space for car or boat parking.

The enclosed, private garden, bordered by hedging and a wall, includes a large deck, as well as a large lawn, useful outside tap and a garden shed.

Timbuktu is set over three floors and has four bedrooms as well as well-proportioned light, airy communal areas.

From the entrance vestibule, with an adjacent utility cloakroom, a door opens into the family room, with timber floorboards, a corner-stone fireplace and stairs leading to the first floor.

Either side of the family room are doors — to the front is the sitting room and to the back is the kitchen/diner.

The sitting room has a deep square bay window filling the room with light, a feature fireplace with a wooden mantelpiece and recessed book shelving.

The kitchen is a great-sized space with a stable door to the garden and a large skylight with a handsome Aga and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher.

On the first floor is the master bedroom to the front, a second, large, double bedroom, a bathroom and a shower room.

The master bedroom has a deep square bay window as well as a pretty tiled fireplace with a grate, plus a built-in wardrobe

There are two further bedrooms on the second floor.
