Substantial house with an 0.58 acre plot.

Description

The house extends to over 3,600 sq ft with seven bedrooms accessed from two staircases. The configuration of the accommodation could provide independent living for two families, should the facility be required.

The house is approached into a spacious reception hall including staircase and across the rear of the house is a living room, orangery, lounge, kitchen and utility room, orientated to overlook the property's gardens and grounds. The Prime Oak orangery is a magnificent addition to the property – oak framed with a lovely vaulted ceiling and lit by a substantial skylight – and enjoys lovely views over the property’s gardens. This room is open-plan to an inner lounge finished with a travertine-style tiled floor, which runs throughout most of the ground floor reception rooms, and is located adjacent to the fitted kitchen with the potential for opening up this area if required to form one very large kitchen/family area. To the front of the house is a large sitting room and a separate dining room which adjoins the kitchen. The main staircase leads to a large landing with access to five of the seven bedrooms. The principal bedrooms are on the east wing of the house, with the larger of the two at the front with an en suite shower room, with bedroom two overlooking the rear gardens. The remaining two bedrooms in this area are serviced by a family bathroom. A second staircase provides access to two further bedrooms and a bathroom with the potential for an additional bedroom at the front.

Outside
The house has a horseshoe tarmac drive with two entrances which in turn provides off-road parking and access to an integral garage with a cloakroom behind. There is a wide plot with road frontage of 33m. To the east is a five-bar gate access from the drive. The rear gardens enjoy a southerly aspect measuring 55m by 33m narrowing to 22m at the bottom boundary. The garden commences with a substantial Yorkstone wrap-around terrace providing an area for al fresco entertaining and the terrace meanders in to extensive areas of lawn protected by mature hedgerows with a scattering of mature trees and a series of mature island and shrub beds.

In all about 0.58 acres.
