Description

14 Succoth Avenue is a charming detached stone built family home offering bright, spacious and comfortable accommodation over ground, first and attic floors. The property is well-presented throughout and with aspects principally to the east, and west there is an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The property retains much of its original period charm with a variety of delightful features.

The front door opens to a vestibule and on to a welcoming reception hallway from where the impressive timber stair rises to the upper floor and the principal reception and family living rooms radiate. To the front of the property lie the elegant bay windowed sitting room as well as the home office, while the dining room is set to the rear of the property and also benefits from a bay window with double doors opening to the wonderful garden. The kitchen is also set to the rear of the property with a utility room, pantry and stairs rising to the former Maid's room, which is a useful sixth bedroom, also. There is a shower room and cloakroom also on the ground floor, as well as a computer room under the stair.

At first floor level there are five comfortable bedrooms, of which the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom and useful storage cupboards. A further set of steps leads up to the attic where there is billiards room, extensive storage space and great potential to create further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. In addition there is a thermodynamic water-heater, and extra large hot water tank, which provides ample hot water without the cost of heating.

The property sits well back from the quiet road and is particularly well screened by a mature hedge. To the north side of the grounds there is a gated driveway with off-street parking for a number of cars and leading to the garage. A gated stone path leads through the well-tended front garden to the front door, while there is a further gated path along the southern gable of the house leading to the rear garden. The garden is spectacular with well-stocked, colourful and mature herbaceous borders surrounding the generous central lawn. There is a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees providing colour and privacy for much of the year. There is a charming Summer House set to the rear of the garden, which revolves enabling it to capture the best light. A gate at the rear of the garden leads to the shared private garden to the rear. This is a wonderfully private space with exclusive access to the proprietors of the surrounding houses.
