Description
Dating back to about 1880 and retaining a wealth of charm and character, this elegant family home has been renovated and extended in recent years and now provides beautifully presented accommodation, ideal for both family life and more formal entertaining. The property enjoys a superb location in the village, overlooking Gold Hill Common.
On the ground floor the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed giving a perfect flow to the rooms. The property enjoys high ceilings with tall windows, shutters and beautiful built-in bespoke cabinetry throughout. The reception hall provides a welcoming space with a feature fireplace and a guest cloakroom. Doors lead through to the kitchen/breakfast/family room, the heart of the home, with an beautifully appointed range of kitchen cabinetry complemented by composite stone worktops. A large central island gives further storage and breakfast bar seating. A bay window overlooks the frontage and there is ample space for a dining table. Additionally there is a fully fitted pantry/utility room and access to the cellar. A particular highlight of the property is the open plan extension to the rear, brimming with natural light from large, attractive roof lanterns. The layout is cleverly arranged to create three distinct spaces; a family room, dining area and a garden room all with French doors on to the garden. Off the garden room is a well-appointed study/office incorporating two spacious work stations. To the front of the house is an elegant sitting room featuring a decorative fireplace and with a bay window giving open views over the common. There is a further reception room, currently arranged as a children’s play room/study but offering an excellent versatile space.
On the first floor the luxurious principal bedroom is generous in size with a range of bespoke wardrobes and a wonderful large bay window giving views over the common. The en suite bathroom is well appointed with a freestanding bath and separate shower. There are three further double bedrooms and a family shower room.
Annexe
The garage has been superbly re configured to provide a generous space with features including a utility area, extensive built-in storage, a dog shower and a large island. Stairs lead to a room on the first floor, perfect for use as a gym, games room or an occasional bedroom.
Outside
The south facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders. The garden benefits from an apple tree, a flowering cherry tree and a productive grapevine. On one side is a decked terrace featuring a bespoke outdoor kitchen, seating and dining area, ideally shaded by the cherry blossom. Adjoining the house is a slate patio opening to a games area. To the front of the house is a driveway with parking for several vehicles, with the addition of an electric car charging point.
