5 bedroom detached house for sale

Spectacular family home occupying a sought after position.

Description

The Priory represents a unique home designed and built in 1997 by renowned developers, Berkeley Homes, in a striking Regency style which is located in a premier position within Hambledon Park.

Internal accommodation is beautifully presented and extends to approximately 3600 sq ft and has been extremely well maintained by the current owners. The welcoming entrance hall is wonderfully light and gives an immediate sense of arrival with its central staircase and galleried landing. The drawing room is generous in size, both light and airy with four large windows overlooking the garden, it has a charming fireplace with marble surround and delightful access to the patio and garden beyond. The kitchen and family room is very much the heart of the house, designed in a traditional country style with wooden cabinetry, a breakfast bar and ample space for dining and entertaining. To the rear is a utility room with access outside. The dining room and study are both double aspect and face the front of the house.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom enjoying garden views with built-in wardrobes and a large en suite with bath, walk in shower and twin sinks. There are four further bedrooms (one en suite) and the family bathroom.

The Priory sits well within its plot of approximately 1.7 acres, the rear garden is tranquil and private offering a serene space to enjoy the spring and summer months with an abundance of colour throughout the seasons. The terrace runs the length of the house with a delightful pergola. Two notable features of the property are the water tower, a unique construction over four floors which is currently used as a store room as well as the paddock to the front of the house.

The property is accessed via a wooden gate leading to a driveway with parking for several vehicles. Set back from the driveway is a double garage with a spacious home office / studio room above.
