The house is arranged over three spacious floors, with brick elevations which have been attractively rendered at first floor level. Overall, the accommodation comprises of six separate reception areas, kitchen and ancillary areas, seven double bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2 WCs. Additionally, the ground floor kitchenette and shower room can provide a self-sufficient or semi self-sufficient annexe when combined with two of the reception rooms. There really are many ways in which the existing space can be used, depending on needs.
A wonderful original staircase links the three floors, climbing from the beautiful centrally-positioned entrance hall. To the left, the kitchen/breakfast room is a bright space with plenty of cupboards and with a door through to a rear lobby and boot room which have a WC and utility room off. On the right of the hall, the dining room is a spacious, attractive room with fireplace and bay window overlooking the garden. There is a door through from the dining room to a very large and impressive sunroom which has natural light flooding in from three separate aspects, as well as from double, glazed French doors which lead out onto the side terrace. The centrally located sitting room is a cosy space which can be accessed from both the hall and from the sunroom, while an attractive fireplace provides a centrepiece. There are further doors out to the conservatory which lies at the rear of the house, and this has a very pleasant outlook over, and access to, the rear, lawned part of the garden.
Yet another door from the hall leads through to a large study which is open-plan through to the family room beyond. When combined, the study, the family room, the bathroom and the kitchenette which lead off make a super annexe. This suite of rooms could have its own separate external access through the door from the courtyard at the side of the house.
On the first floor the four lovely, large double bedrooms radiate from the spacious landing. Bedroom one has a wide bay window and an en-suite shower room and there is a family bathroom for the other bedrooms to share, as a well as a separate WC. On the second floor there are three further impressively spacious bedrooms, one of which leads to a storeroom, and there is a further bathroom here too. The upper floors enjoy some lovely views over the ground and beyond towards St Catherine’s Hill.
The gardens wrap around three sides of the house - the south, the east and the west, providing opportunities to sit and enjoy the privacy and attractive landscaping at all times of the day. The appealing terrace on the south side of the house overlooks an area of lawn from which it is separated by beautifully stocked flower beds. A perfect place to sit and watch those enjoying the above-ground swimming pool which has a brick-built garden room nearby which is great for changing and for storing pool equipment.
At the rear of the house, the largest part of the garden includes a sizeable, level lawn which is surrounded by borders which are well-stocked with mature shrubs and trees. There are two large, timber outbuildings used as a workshop/store and a garden shed, and a gate opens onto a private path which leads down to St Cross Road – perfect for those with dogs who want access to the water meadows for walks.
At the front of the house is a very large, wide driveway with turning circle and this leads to a modern, detached double garage. Stairs lead up from a storeroom at the rear of the garage to a storage loft above.
All in all, the grounds extend to close to 0.5 acres.
