Description

This beautiful period home has been in the same ownership for 36 years.

There is great scope for enlargement or development subject to planning permission. The house is situated in the commuter belt and an area known for its well-regarded schools.

The house includes many period features including fireplaces and good ceiling heights, with the principal bedrooms and reception rooms orientated to overlook the beautiful gardens. The centrepiece of the house is the kitchen/ breakfast room, open-plan to a sizeable dining room. The kitchen is extensively fitted and includes a large island with cooking station.

Adjacent is a useful utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Adjacent to the dining room is a sitting room with gas fire and a study, with double doors onto the terrace. The principal reception room is a light-filled room with three aspects. A red-brick fireplace provides a focal point and incudes a log burner. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, three of which overlook the gardens. The principal suite includes extensive full-height fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room.

A colourful array of predominantly evergreen shrubs have been planted at the front of the house creating colour and interest and adjoining is a gated access into the rear gardens. The gardens commences with a substantial split-level terrace, a great space for entertaining and al fresco dining. A garden cabin with power offers the potential as an outside office. The gardens resemble mature parkland with a vast swathe of lawn punctured with island beds and bordered by mature trees and shrubs for privacy and all-year colour and interest.
