5 bedroom detached house

Sarsgrove is a handsome double-fronted family home offering more than 4,100 sq.ft of lightfilled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor accommodation flows from a generous and welcoming reception hall, with useful storage and cloakroom, and includes a spacious L-shaped dual aspect drawing room with limestone fireplace and contemporary inset gas-fire, and two sets of French doors to the rear terrace, a formal dining room with front aspect bay window and a well-proportioned office.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/ breakfast/sitting/family room, designed to suit the orientation of the property. The layout maximises storage and optimises space, with a range of bespoke Shaker-style hand painted units and features an impressive central island with a solid oak breakfast table, twin-bowl Normandy farmhouse sink, sculpted stonework surfaces and modern integrated appliances, including a wine chiller. The generous family room and sitting area have French doors to the rear terrace.

The adjacent utility room has matching furniture and door to the garden. Further features of note include underfloor heating throughout, porcelain floor tiling to kitchen and utility, turned staircase with American white oak stained handrail and hand painted newel posts and spindles, pressurised water system and comprehensive supply of TV and telephone points.

On the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom suite and second bedroom, benefit from private balconies, fitted dressing rooms and luxurious en suite facilities. The remaining three bedrooms all have built-in storage, with one also having an en suite shower room. The contemporary styled family bathroom is fitted with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, matching those of the en suites.

Set against a backdrop of mature trees, Sarsgrove is approached via wrought iron electric gates to a block-paved driveway, providing ample parking in addition to the detached triple garage. The private and peaceful landscaped gardens surround the property and are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, with a delightful water feature, decked gazebo seating area and vaulted summer house with sauna. The stylish natural slate terrace provides the perfect location for outside entertaining. The property also benefits from access to the leisure facilities and communal grounds for the King Edward VII Estate (annual service charge payable).
