5 bedroom detached house

A stylish modern home in a secluded position. This beautifully presented home benefits from a self contained annex, substantial receptions and an indoor pool complex.

Description

Set behind a set of electronically controlled gates, these open to reveal a parking area for several cars in front of the house and annex. The entrance hallway features a central staircase and part galleried landing above and study area above. Just off here is a guest cloakroom.

The main reception rooms comprise of an open plan living room with a feature fireplace opening into a conservatory that enjoys views over the japanese garden. There is a separate sitting room and dining room together with a further room which is currently used as a Home Office - this has its own access from outside and can be locked off from the house if needed. The kitchen breakfast room is modern fitted space with a range of wall and base units, island block and semi circular seating area with french doors onto the garden. There is access to the utility room, which is adjacent to the annex.

Completing the living space is a ground floor bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom with a separate shower.

Moving upstairs, there are three sumptuous bedroom suites, all of which have fitted wardrobes and en suite facilities. The main bedroom has a walk in dressing room also.

Outside and to the side of the house is the Self Contained Annex, which has an open plan living kitchen area on the ground floor and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room above. This annex also has a private, enclosed garden space.

The gardens are a notable feature of the house and provide much interest. They have been carefully planned to give various points of interest. This includes the japanese garden just off the back of the house with meandering paths, ornamental arches and a Tea House. There is a feature fish pond to the front. At the rear of the leisure complex is a further outdoor entertainment area with sunken hot tub and covered barbecue / outside kitchen. This opens onto an expansive lawn with a mature rhodendron flanked border.

The leisure complex has an indoor swimming pool, gym, home cinema or games room, WC and a steam / shower room.

AGENTS NOTE: We believe that planning permission is still in place to link the house to the leisure complex via a glazed link. The entrance hallway of the main house can be opened up to provide an atrium style feel via a large church style window thereby creating a more galleried landing.
