Description
A well - appointed detached four bedroom house, thought to date originally from
around the 1930s, but much altered since, which has been within the same
ownership for the past 30 years. The property has a modern finish and has an
oversized ground floor layout, ideal for families and for entertaining. It is
a house that has a sense and space and volume, with large reception rooms from
which there are attractive southerly views over the mature garden, and access,
via French doors, from all the garden facing rooms.
Accommodation
The wide entrance hallway, which is open to the vaulted sitting room provides
sightlines from the front door right through to the garden, whilst double
doors also open from the hallway to the dining room and kitchen/breakfast
room, either side.
The sitting room is at a slightly lower level than the hallway, but with a
higher vaulted ceiling, whilst there are also tall windows and doors offering
views through the covered veranda that spans the width of the house of the
garden. It combines to offer an almost Mediterranean feel, with a contemporary
gas corner fireplace as a further feature.
The dual - aspect kitchen/breakfast room is 27’ long, with a fabulous polished
bur - walnut style floor. The room offers space for dining near the garden
French doors, whilst fitted suite incorporates a Fisher & Paykel cooker, with
space for dishwasher and washing machine.
Across the hallway from the kitchen, double doors open into a symmetrical
dining room, with a large window overlooking the driveway to the front of the
house. Alongside the dining room, a home office adjoins a linear conservatory
with double doors providing garden access.
At first floor there are four bedrooms served by two bath or shower rooms. The
principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, with both his and her sinks.
Bedrooms one and two also access a south facing roof terrace above the sitting
room, where there is also a brick built BBQ. The two further bedrooms, one of
which has a walk - in wardrobe, are served by the property’s well - appointed
family bathroom. Both en suite and bathroom are underfloor heated.
Outside
The property occupies a good size plot of 0. 25 acres in total, with off street
parking on the gravelled driveway, which also offers access to the detached
double garage. The principal private garden lies to the south (rear) of the
house. It is largely lawned, with flowering beds, shrubs and mature trees,
offering visual interest and privacy, leading to a stream at the southern
property boundary.
