Description

An impressive family home, built in 2005 by local renowned developer Mentmore Homes, finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout. This light and luxurious house offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors together with a triple garage and a self contained office/annexe. The house has been well designed to ensure that the accommodation is equally suited to both family living and more formal entertaining. Features include marble flooring, elegant sash windows, high ceilings, programmable lighting system, concrete flooring, ventilation system, and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

The spacious, elegant reception hall with marble flooring creates a wonderful first impression. A stunning marble staircase with glass balustrade leads to the first floor and a galleried landing. The light and spacious feel continues throughout the house. Both the study and sitting/TV room lie to the front of the house overlooking the frontage. The sitting/TV room also features an attractive stone fireplace with a gas fire. The drawing room is of wonderful proportions overlooking the garden and with French doors opening on to the terrace. A stone fireplace with a gas fire provides a lovely central feature and double doors lead into the adjacent dining room, again with delightful garden views. The kitchen/breakfast room is very much the hub of the house and perfect for family living. The kitchen is bespoke fitted with a comprehensive range of units, with cherry frames and birdseye maple inset panels, complemented by honed granite worktops. Part of the ceiling is vaulted with a velux window flooding the kitchen area with natural light. Integrated appliances include a double oven, microwave, five burner gas hob, extractor, dishwasher and space for an American style fridge freezer. A large island incorporates a breakfast bar providing relaxed seating. The dining area is generous, with French doors out on to the garden, and there is plenty of room for a good sized dining table. A utility room lies just off the kitchen with storage units, granite worktop and is equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a door gives access to a boiler room.

On the first floor the impressive galleried landing is spacious with views over the frontage. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and features a fully fitted dressing room, with an en suite bathroom with a separate shower and twin hand basins. There is also a guest suite with a dressing room and en suite shower room, with two further bedrooms on this floor, both with fitted wardrobes and en suite bath/shower rooms. Stairs lead up to the second floor with a further bedroom, with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom. Extending the length of the house is a large room offering a wonderful flexible space, which could be an additional bedroom or would be ideal as a games room or for staff accommodation.
