The Property
Entering ‘Hambeth House’ through a 5-bar wooden gate, there is a generous amount of gravelled parking to the front, framed by mature shrubs and trees with access to the side and rear of the property.
The Reception Hall is bright and welcoming and benefits from a modern cloakroom and storage cupboard. It is immediately evident on entering the house how well it has been looked after over the years. A further door from the hallway leads into the Sitting Room.
A well-proportioned Sitting Room with a bright outlook to the front and rear of the property. French doors lead to the rear garden and a cosy wood burning stove with ornamental oak beamed mantel offers a welcoming focal point. In turn the Sitting Room leads straight through to the Kitchen / Family area through double glazed doors, making the room flow perfectly for entertaining.
Perhaps one of the main selling points of this property is the fantastic kitchen extension the current vendors have completed. A modern and versatile space, ideal for families, parties, or just relaxing with open views out over the garden terrace and pond. The room has a large ceiling lantern enabling additional light to flood in. The amount of space in this area is enviable, modern décor and the ambiance welcoming with enough room for a 10-seating table, if necessary. The room is open to the Kitchen, but this is cleverly tucked around the corner to keep it separate when hosting. The stylish Shaker style kitchen benefits from a variety of cupboards and drawers as well as a five-ring induction hob, double oven and integral dishwasher in addition to space for an American style fridge / freezer. The dark colour granite work tops enhance this modern kitchen, and a window looks out to the rear garden, in addition an understairs cupboard offers good storage space and a further door leads into the separate Utility Room.
A good size Utility / Boot Room with access to the side of the property, a second sink and units, a perfect space for muddy shoes and dogs.
From the Utility a door leads into Bedroom 5 / Guest Bedroom. This has recently been converted from part of the garage, it is a double room looking out to the front of the house, it is bright, well-proportioned and benefits from a modern en-suite shower room, all extremely well presented. There is an internal door to the garage from the room, making it easy to create a further conversion if necessary. The garage is currently used for storage and houses the oil fired boiler.
Stairs lead from the Reception Hall to a galleried landing.
The main bedroom to the front of the property, offers a well-proportioned double room with a bright aspect and is enhanced by a newly fitted en-suite shower room and dressing area. The en-suite has ample floor to ceiling storage and wardrobe space as well as modern bathroom furniture fitted around the sink and W.C. and a double shower unit.
Bedrooms 2 & 3 are both double rooms facing the rear of the property with pretty outlooks over the garden to the tree line beyond, fitted wardrobe space and a bright ambiance.
Bedroom 4 could be used as a single bedroom but currently used as a study also facing the rear of the house.
The main bathroom is also a recent addition and is well considered, finished in a contemporary style, with shower over the bath and fitted vanity wash basin unit and W.C.
Outside
Hambeth House sits very well on a generous plot and is set well back from the road, with plenty of gravelled parking to the front it benefits from a pretty village setting and wonderful mature gardens to the rear. There is also ample space to the side of the property which the vendors have made the most of with a little veg garden, framed by an old Victorian wall. There are an abundance of mature shrubs and trees, pretty perennials and the space feels private and secure for pets and children. Most noteworthy is the handsome nature pond and covered terrace area, which is perfect for alfresco dining. The current vendors have carefully considered the advantages of outside living and dining and made the most of the opportunity.
