Description
The Spinney is an attractive, very well presented family home built in 1929 and occupying an elevated position set well back from the lane, amidst beautiful landscaped gardens which in turn back on to the 18 hole Championship golf course at the Marriott Tudor Park Country Club.
Having been in the same ownership for 31 years, the property has been sensitively refurbished and extended by the current owners, with a superb oak framed breakfast room, English Heritage oak framed pool house, oak framed carport/log store, all designed by architects Julian Bluck Designs Ltd. The oak framed side hall and utility room were designed by Walter Roberts, whilst the bespoke oak joinery has been carefully considered to match the original character and period features. Throughout the majority of the ground floor are the original oak floors with Junckers oak flooring to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and amounts to 3,699 sq ft. On the ground floor well proportioned reception rooms with high ceilings, deep skirtings and picture rails, include a triple aspect sitting room with brick chimneypiece and window seating, a family room and a study which could be used as a formal dining room.
The stunning Mark Wilkinson kitchen with central island has various Miele appliances including a steam oven, warming drawer and dishwasher, there is also a Falcon range cooker. The kitchen is open to the oak framed breakfast room with garden vistas to three aspects and French doors to a south facing York stone terrace.
The side hall, with underfloor heating links through to the utility room where there are additional cupboards, an extra large butler sink and space for white goods.
On the first floor are five attractive bedrooms, all having built in cupboards, they are served by an en suite shower room, a family bathroom and a separate WC. Stairs continue to the second floor where the light main bedroom suite has a dressing room and traditional en suite bathroom with Lefroy Brooks fittings.
The Spinney is approached via a sloping block paved drive which winds up to a parking area, where there are double and open bay garages. The gardens provide a lovely setting, beautifully landscaped, they lie to the front and rear, with lawns and many specimen trees, shrubs and seasonal plants. The heated outdoor pool is enclosed by a picket fence and there is an oak framed pool house, perfect for entertaining. Also within the garden is an elegant summerhouse by HSP Garden Buildings of Suffolk, The Chelsea Summer House features a sweeping lead roof and is a lovely flexible space for relaxing or working from home. There is a wild area of garden with mature trees and further outbuildings include a potting shed and garden store.
