The house benefits from two staircases, a main staircase off the entrance hallway and a secondary running up through the lofted library (well-lit with Velux windows). The western side of the house provides some excellent living space; with a formal sitting room (with large fireplace) and adjoining conservatory with fitted reverse cycle air conditioning/heating. A family room and dining room (with double doors access out to the south facing garden) lead through to the butler's pantry , which is fitted out for preparing and serving food and drinks (with an additional oven, sink, dishwasher and space for a large fridge/freezer) which then links to the kitchen.
On the eastern side of the house the current owners have extended and created a magnificent tri-aspect kitchen/breakfast room with access out to the garden on both the south and eastern sides together with an adjoining laundry room (with secret door) and pantry. The room is heated with underfloor heating underneath the tiled floor and is fitted with a Rencraft kitchen with fitted bookshelves , a large island, a range cooker, double belfast sink and storage options. A new walnut wooden floor leads through the butler's pantry and into the dining room.
On the first floor a long landing links two excellent bedrooms at either end of the house; a master at the western end (with a walk-in closet, air conditioning and en suite facilities) with a double aspect guest room at the other end with far reaching views over the adjacent countryside. A bedroom (with air conditioning) with en suite shower room and ample storage then sits alongside two additional bedrooms which share a family bathroom.
All the bedrooms enjoy views out over the garden or over the surrounding countryside.
The plumbing has been updated by the owners and two separate hot water tanks feed the house and the master bedroom. The house benefits from ample storage and potential (subject to the appropriate updated consents) to extend and adapt in the first floor area. In the garden a shed and wood store then are located alongside the garage with an additional shed providing storage space for gardening and mowing equipment.
There is a large south-facing garden with a central kidney-shaped heated swimming pool with surrounding paved floodlit terrace. Further into the garden is located a floodlit tennis court whilst an additional plot (approximately 0.6 of an acre) is currently set as a wild meadow.
The garden is filled with established trees and shrubs and the house has an excellent Wisteria.
There is access from the house onto local footpaths providing excellent dog walking facilities whilst the location is well placed for local amenities, schools and transport links.
