A charming four double bedroom family home within a quiet close with uninterrupted views of the Coombe Wood Golf course from the first floor bedrooms, presented in excellent order throughout with spacious ground floor accommodation.

The Accommodation

The property is approached towards the end of this quiet oasis off Coombe Lane West where the residents are proud to keep the close in pristine order and enjoy a strong community feel. This fabulous home has been in the same ownership since April 2001 and they are only selling for downsizing purposes.

The property is approached across a mono block paved forecourt offering space for five cars bordered by mature planting leading to a tiled pitched portico with a solid wood front door and leaded glazed side windows to a vestibule, ideal for coats and shoes with door leading into the integral garage with ample space for bicycles and storage. A wide-panelled glazed door continues into a spacious entrance hall with the original oak wood strip floor giving access to the principal reception rooms and the family room/study off the first landing via the stairwell. The guest cloakroom is found comfortably positioned under the stairs.

The front double-aspect drawing room, with a double-glazed bay window, faces due South/West with stained decorative side windows, a feature stone surround and a real open fireplace. Double six-panel doors with piano hinges allow them to fold completely back opening into the dining room with similar side windows and double-glazed French doors with large side windows, which open onto the rear terrace.

It is worth noting at this stage that all the internal doors of the entrance hall are glazed, throwing an immense amount of natural daylight throughout the ground floor. The kitchen/breakfast room offers an aspect over the delightful rear garden with a bespoke shaker-designed range of wall and base units with larder cupboards, and black granite surfaces which L-shapes to the laundry area and stable doorway. There is a wealth of integrated appliances including a stainless steel 120cm SMEG double oven with a six-ring gas hob and hot plate, a stainless steel surround and a recessed extractor hood. The laundry area has a large recessed Belfast sink with mixer taps and a stable doorway into the garden patio and the whole area benefits from under floor heating. A skylight illuminates the area where the freestanding dresser is positioned, but not included in the sale. A door leads into the family snug/study with a wall of built-in cupboards, shelving and TV recess with an encased radiator panel with Velux windows to the side pitch.

The generous first-floor landing is home to four very spacious double bedrooms, the first off the half landing with a high ceiling, built-in wardrobes and a wall of built-in bookshelves. Bedrooms two and three have built-in wardrobes, are double aspect and enjoy uninterrupted views over the rear garden and Coombe Wood golf course. There is a possibility to create an en suite shower room within the L-shaped part of bedroom three. The principal bedroom faces due south over the quiet Close with a range of built-in wardrobes and benefits from an en-suite power shower with half-stone tiled walls and surface over the vanity unit with a recessed oval wash hand basin with mixer taps. The family bathroom has a panelled bath with mixer taps and an over-the-bath shower and screen, with a stone tiled surround and underfloor heating. There are half-panelled walls to the rest of the bathroom with a low-level WC and pedestal wash hand basin. There is a built-in linen cupboard and a further airing cupboard off the landing and access to the loft.

Many of the houses within this Close have extended their accommodation into the loft and also to the rear. This particular property, subject to necessary consents, could be extended over two levels to the rear with a new extended loft to form a large principal bedroom to the second floor, or possibly two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

The garden offers a terrace right across the rear of the house, with landscaped rockery with an abundance of perennials, evergreens and another suntrap terrace to the rear left of the garden. This lovingly tended garden, is mainly laid to lawn with the right-hand side of the garden ideal for swings, a trampoline and other uses such as a greenhouse. In addition, there is a long double-ended garden shed with plenty of storage. There is access to the front garden from the right side of the house. Looking from the back of the house there is a tranquil open outlook over an established laurel hedge towards Coombe Wood golf course.

The house has a modern wi-fi enabled alarm system and the rear benefits from a Ring CCTV and flood light system.
