Description
Walden is a delightful period Arts and Crafts family home in an idyllic semi rural setting, with permission and further potential to extend. Built in the early 1930’s, the property enjoys a generous frontage and a large south facing rear garden with stunning views. Features include period detailing, wood flooring, picture rails and decorative fireplaces.
The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall with stairs to the first floor and a cloakroom. An elegant triple aspect, split level sitting room enjoys wonderful garden views with French doors opening on to the side terrace and a box bay window with a built in window seat. A fireplace with a wood burner provides a focal point. The kitchen, dining and family rooms overlook the garden and are the hub of the house, creating an ideal space for family living. Two sets of French doors in the family room open on to the terrace and the room also features a decorative tiled fireplace with an open fire. The dining room is of a good size with plenty of room for a large table and a box bay window with built in seating gives the perfect spot to enjoy the garden views. This room opens into the kitchen, which is comprehensively fitted with a range of units complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances. A utility room lies adjacent, with storage, a Butlers sink, space for appliances and a stable door giving access to the garden. There is underfloor heating in the reception hall, kitchen and utility room.
On the first floor the galleried landing overlooks the frontage. The dual aspect principal bedroom extends the length of the house with fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom with a separate shower and freestanding bath. A large picture window gives views over the garden and beyond. There are four further bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, while the remainder of the bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Outside
The wonderful gardens and stunning views are a real feature of the property with an overall plot size of approximately 1.3 acres. Walden is approached from a country lane though wooden gates with a long driveway approach, with parking for several vehicles, areas of lawn, and a variety of mature trees. To the front of the property is a double garage with a wood store and a two storey space adjacent which could be converted to a self-contained annexe. Steps lead to the front door, flanked with lawn and flower beds. There is access to the rear garden from both sides of the house. The southerly facing rear garden is a delight and enjoys uninterrupted countryside views. A large terrace adjoins the house and provides a superb area to relax, entertain and enjoy the view. The garden is wonderfully secluded and mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of trees and flower beds. A covered area to the side, accessed from the utility room, gives useful outside storage.
