Description

An opportunity to purchase this elegant, double fronted detached house, re-built just after the second world war and offering in excess of 3,300 sq ft of adaptable accommodation, arranged over three floors, perfect for family living.

The accommodation features high ceilings and elegant styling throughout and benefits from a large garden and extensive outbuildings with rear access. There is potential for a building plot, subject to achieving the necessary planning permission.

The welcoming entrance hallway features stylish wooden parquet flooring and a turning staircase to the first floor galleried landing. To the front of the house there are two spacious bay fronted reception rooms, a sitting room and dining room with feature Minster style open fireplace. The drawing room enjoys an outlook over the rear garden. The modern kitchen is well equipped with a comprehensive range of fitted storage, integrated appliances and featuring an Aga. There is a breakfast room, utility room and a modern ground floor shower room with WC.

The first floor features an impressive galleried landing and four double bedrooms, including a spacious principal room fitted with a comprehensive range wardrobes and storage space along with an en suite shower room. The first floor also has a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The second floor offers adaptable space and is arranged as a study and music room, which could be converted to bedrooms, if required. The adjacent dressing room and workshop areas provide development potential, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside: At the front of the house there is an in/out driveway with two sets of wrought iron gates, plenty of parking and access to the single garage to one side. The front garden features a crescent shaped lawn, perimeter flower and shrub beds and hedgerow.

The rear garden is a wonderful feature of the property, being a particularly good size with well tended lawned area, planted flower and shrub beds, paved pathways leading through the garden and terracing adjacent to the house. There is a pleasant gravelled seating area and summerhouse at the end of the lawn.

POTENTIAL BUILDING PLOT: At the rear of the garden there is a brick-built garaging block containing three garages and a workshop with large forecourt in front. This area is currently used for parking and storage but provides an exciting opportunity to be developed into a detached dwelling, subject to planning permission being granted. Access is already in place from Pennsylvania Crescent.

The nature of the potential development plot (outbuildings) is such that were it to be developed, it would have very little impact on Newcote, being set lower topographically and some distance from the house.
