An attractive family home within a prestigious gated development
Description
McCorquodale House enjoys a beautifully distinctive design incorporating a country house style with an attractive façade. The property incudes stunning gardens, a self-contained gym with home office above and a detached double garage. The house was built in 2007 to a high specification with high ceilings creating an elegant living space, solid oak flooring throughout the entrance hall and reception rooms, oak doors and a fine oak staircase.
The accommodation flows well across three floors and offers light spaciously proportioned rooms, perfect for modern day family living. The house gets its name from the McCorquodale family whom lived at Cound Hall. The front door opens to the entrance hall from where the main reception rooms flow and the principal staircase rises to the first floor. To the left of the hall is the sitting room which is a spacious room offering plenty of natural light with an open fireplace (currently capped), a triple aspect and French doors opening onto the terrace. This flows well into the dining room which is fabulous when entertaining having French doors to the terrace.
The open plan living kitchen is well equipped with a range of fitted cupboards and units with granite work tops as well as a breakfast island incorporating a fridge, freezer, wine chiller, microwave and Rangemaster style cooker with an extractor fan above. The floor is tiled and there is a utility room off which was updated in 2022 offering further cupboards, units and space for a washing machine. There is also a door leading out to the garden. A WC completes the ground floor.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms including the principal suite boasting fine views of Cound Hall parkland, a walk in wardrobe, dressing area and en suite bathroom. There is a secondary guest suite enjoying a dual aspect, walk in wardrobe and en suite shower room which was fitted in 2021. Bedroom three is a double with views to Cound Hall and a door providing direct access to the spacious and contemporary family shower room which was updated 2021 and can also be accessed from the galleried landing. There is a further bedroom.
The stair case rises to the second floor where there are two double bedrooms, both with built in storage/wardrobe space in the eaves and a shower room to serve both rooms. This is an ideal space for teenagers.
Please note: The property benefits from a communal bio-mass heating system, which is then also backed up by its own oil-fired private central heating system if required. There is a residents association for the 31 properties within Cound Park. Each property pays an annual fee of approximately £1,000 for the maintenance and upkeep of communal areas.
Outside
The property is approached through an electric gate onto a private tarmacadam shared driveway. There is a second set of electric gates which lead to an attractive and beautifully kept area of five exclusive houses within Cound Park Gardens, and McCorquodale
House is situated at the end of the road.
The house stands in a spacious plot with ample tarmacadam parking to each side of the property. A terrace runs along the back of the property overlooking the beautiful garden and providing a wonderful alfresco dining area. The spacious garden is predominantly laid to lawn and wraps around the property with a partially walled border with mature shrubs planted beneath. To one side is a kitchen garden planted with a selection of herb, fruit and vegetable beds. Beyond here is an orchard bordered with a mixture of traditional wall and mature native hedging. There are a selection of apple trees along with a greengage and peach.
There are two detached, double garages to either side of the house. The garage to the left, has been converted and currently comprises a home gym with a home office above. The double timber doors have been boarded however this could be reversed and reinstated as a traditional garage. The second garage has double timber doors and is boarded with a studio space above.
