An impressive Victorian family home offering substantial space in excess of 4,300 sq ft including seven bedrooms and a superb open plan kitchen/orangery in sought after village location.

Description

Coleshill Lodge is an impressive late Victorian semi detached property built about 1895 which during the second world war was used as the office of the Railway Clearing House with staff of about 100. Long since restored to a substantial family home, beautifully presented with a wealth of original charm and character including magnificent high ceilings. The spacious and adaptable layout is spread over three floors with the welcoming entrance hall providing access to a reception room on each side, one with an attractive square bay and the other with a feature stained glass window. Undoubtedly the social heart of the house is the superb kitchen/breakfast room again with a high ceiling which is open plan, via a wide brick edged arch, to a delightful orangery for informal dining and relaxation. The custom built ‘Smallbone’ kitchen has an extensive range of units with granite worktops and large central island with Tom Dixon hanging globe lighting over. Built-in appliances include a Wolf 5 ring gas burner, twin ovens, two under counter fridges and a dishwasher. The marble tiled floor has underfloor heating with bi-folding doors opening on to the terrace. Ideal for entertaining, there are double doors from the kitchen to the magnificent drawing room with parquet floor, feature fireplace and square bay window overlooking the rear garden. There is also a downstairs boot room with cloakroom leading off the kitchen with a laundry on the first floor.

There are a total of seven generous bedrooms arranged over the two upper floors with bedrooms six and seven good fun for older children with ladders to loft size mezzanine beds. The principal bedroom suite has a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and luxurious bathroom.

A particular feature of the rear bedrooms are the outstanding far reaching views with London visible on a clear day on the horizon.

The approach is via electrically operated entrance gates with a gravelled area providing plenty of parking and turning space in front of the double garage with a separate entrance to a studio annexe above which has a kitchenette and shower room.

The overall plot extends to just over half an acre with a large flag stone terrace with steps leading down to a two tiered lawn enhanced by the outstanding views beyond.
