A substantial five / six bedroom detached house with integral garage, extensive off-street parking and a majestic 160ft west facing rear garden with impressive outbuildings.
Our clients acquired the property some 16 years ago. Following considerable adaptation and improvements – including single and double storey side & rear extensions (2011) together with development of the roof (2017) – this fantastic family home now provides spacious, well-planned accommodation, over three floors.
The house is approached via a modern, well lit, side entrance. Once inside, there is an immediate feeling of space and light and a view of the garden. You are welcomed into a generous central hallway which flows naturally into an outstanding kitchen / dining / living space with sizeable kitchen island, roof lights and an expanse of bi-fold doors. This is clearly the hub of the home. What especially stands out is the superb interaction between the house and garden with wonderful views affording great privacy over the garden - a sea of green - with same-level access to the decking and large lawn.
Off to the left is the main sitting/family room with clever pocket-doors, working fireplace, and well designed glazing producing that all important inside / outside connection. At the front of the house, an inner hallway leads to a cluster of self-contained rooms - ideal for parents, dependent relative, adult child or live-in nanny - comprising; study / bedroom with adjoining laundry/utility room and separate shower room. Opposite is excellent storage for coats and shoes.
To complete the ground floor there is an oversized garage / workshop with highly practical deep storage cupboards; one with sink unit, a separate guest cloakroom with W.C. [off the main hallway] and last but not least, a brilliant temperate larder cupboard.
The first floor comprises a good open landing with borrowed light and linen cupboard. The landing, in turn, leads to two large double bedrooms - overlooking the garden - both are served by modern fitted ensuite shower rooms. At the front of the house there are two further bedrooms; one with a fun mezzanine area/study for the kids; both these bedrooms supported by a family bathroom.
The top floor reveals a large principle bedroom suite spanning the width of the house. Complete with sitting area, extensive built-in wardrobes, freestanding bath, and separate ensuite shower room. There is copious eaves storage as well a further boarded attic, accessed via a large hatch off the staircase.
Externally, the front garden has gravelled driveway with gate. There is plenty of parking and a mature liquidambar tree which steals the show. The large rear garden (abt. 160 x 55 ft) enjoys incredible privacy and seclusion with sunny aspect to soak up the sunshine all day; the last rays hitting the decking. At the end of the garden discreetly tucked away you find an interesting garden folly / turned bar (original 1930's structure) with added summer house and garden store. This amazing space has many permutations; kids or adults party room, gym, yoga/art studio, home business / therapist space etc.
Floor area: 3,713 sq. ft. / 345 sqm (excl. outbuilding, attic & eaves) Total. 4,650 sq ft. / 431 sqm.
