Description
14 Chad Road is a handsome two storey detached house, built in 1937 but with
some Georgian styling and proportions. Some years ago the property underwent a
comprehensive renovation by a renowned local interior architecture and design
company. The end result is a fantastic family home which blends exquisite
period features with modern features and finishes. The accommodation is set
out over two storeys and provides a practical and sociable layout, ideal both
for family life and for entertaining.
The house is entered via an open entrance porch with a solid wood 6 panel
front door leading into the spacious and welcoming reception hall off which
the kitchen and three reception rooms radiate, as well as the guest cloakroom
WC.
The elegant and spacious sitting room is adorned with natural light having no
fewer than 7 sash windows as well as a set of glazed double doors spread out
over three elevations and including a fabulous wide bay overlooking the main
garden. The room features an original oak strip floor and a stunning marble
fireplace with coal effect gas fire.
The dining room is a wonderfully atmospheric room having a triple sash bay
window to the front, dark patterned wallpaper and an imposing black marble
effect fireplace with coal effect gas fire. There are two doors from the
dining room; one leading to the reception hall, the other linking directly to
the kitchen.
The TV room/snug is a cosy and inviting room which would also make for an
ideal playroom for any younger family members. There are two sash windows to
the side terrace, full height built - in bookshelf, and a feature fireplace with
coal effect gas fire.
The breakfast kitchen was enlarged as part of the renovation works and
includes a lovely light seating area set beneath a large rooflight and
adjacent to glazed double doors which open out to the terrace and rear garden.
Just off the breakfast area is a utility room with space and plumbing for a
washing machine and tumble dryer.
The kitchen itself has chef - standard brushed stainless - steel units with
polished granite worktops. There is a 5 ring gas hob with extractor over, a
Miele electric oven and grill, integrated dishwasher and space for an American
style fridge freezer. The kitchen continues along a short corridor towards the
dining room, off which is an alcove with drink station including an under -
counter fridge and large fitted wine rack.
The first floor accommodation is set around a lovely central landing with arch
features and an airing cupboard. The principal bedroom suite enjoys splendid
views over the garden via two sash windows. This is a particularly spacious
room with a magnificent marble fireplace with coal effect gas fire, and
comprehensive fitted wardrobes to one wall. The en suite bathroom is an
excellent size and has mosaic tiling to the floor and shower enclosure, bath
set into limestone tiled surround, wash basin with large dark wood vanity
unit, wall hung WC.
Bedroom two is an elegant room with three sash windows to the front elevation,
and a feature fireplace with coal effect gas fire. The remaining three
bedrooms are all comfortable double - sized rooms, with bedroom 5 having fitted
wardrobes to one wall. These bedrooms are served by a smart house bathroom
with limestone tiling, bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.
Outside
To the front of the house is an in/out driveway which is set behind a low -
level blue brick wall with mature foliage providing excellent screening. To
the left hand side of the driveway is the detached double garage with side
sliding door and pedestrian door leading to the enclosed courtyard to the
rear. The courtyard has a contemporary feel with painted render walls, paving
set around a small rectangular lawn, and a water feature fish pond with
waterfall. Off the courtyard are useful outbuildings including a gardener's
loo, boiler room and general garden store.
The main garden is most delightful and enjoys a sunny southerly aspect. There
is a large paved terrace to the rear and side, beyond which is an expansive
area of lawn. Total privacy is provided by extensive mature shrubs and trees
surrounding the plot which includes a charming woodland walkway around the
southern and western perimeter. To one side of the garden is a substantial
timber outbuilding providing excellent additional garden storage. We have
measured the total plot to be in the order of 0. 55 acre.
