Situation

1 Elmbridge Villas
• 1 Elmbridge Villas is an extended, period house originally dating to the 1890’s and believed to have been built by a local farmer for his daughters. The property sits in an elevated position overlooking the surrounding farmland and countryside. • This lovely property retains much original charm, seen in the stripped floorboards, original fireplaces and high ceilings and was latterly extended by the current owners. • An entrance hall leads through to a ground floor double bedroom and to a cosy snug with fitted bookcases and a wood-burner inset into an original fireplace with a lovely antique pine surround. • The snug leads directly through to the fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/family room, which was added in 2017. Timber clad externally with bi-fold and French doors leading out to the smart patio terrace, this super space has been designed to make the most of the stunning views and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, and provide a great, modern space for family living today.

1 Elmbridge Villas Continued
• The country-style kitchen offers plenty of storage and benefits from an integrated fridge-freezer, a dishwasher, a fitted hob and space for a fitted oven. • Leading off the kitchen is a study/4th bedroom and there is also useful utility/shower room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. • Stairs lead up to the first floor where there is a good-sized landing, two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with a bath and a shower over.

The Outside
• The property is approached off a very quiet rural lane, which leads to the parking area located to the side of the property. Steps lead up to the house from the parking area and there is also a pretty front garden, with a seating area, which sets the property back from the lane. • The rear garden is securely fenced and is mainly lawn planted with a variety of established shrubs, trees, and flowering plants including a monkey puzzle tree, apple trees, currant bushes and lilac. A section of garden is currently used as a children’s play area and offers further scope for keen gardeners if desired. • A smart gravelled and paved seating area can be accessed externally and off the kitchen/dining/family room making this ideal for seasonal dining and entertaining. There is also an enclosed veg patch with timber shed, a log store and a child’s timber summerhouse.

The Outside Continued
• There is a very smart timber workshop/store, split into two, which has been built to a high standard and has been partially insulated. There is electricity and power to the outbuilding which offers a very flexible space for a variety of uses, having also been used as a studio/home office. • The property enjoys wonderful distant views over the surrounding farmland and countryside, yet is situated in a very accessible location.
