The moment you approach "Kenricks Piece" as you walk up the driveway, you know you have found a special home. Set peacefully off the road in the heart of the Blue Triangle in Fleet, this former coach house and its grounds have been lovingly restored and maintained by the present owners. The home offers a rare opportunity to buy somewhere which has all the sense of a much larger house because the principal reception rooms are all of a good size.
The house is steeped in the history of its former use. The reception room was originally the stables, the downstairs study was the tack room and the formal dining room was the coach house itself. The patio outside the bay window of the dining room even retains the features of the original area where the horses were washed down after their journey.
But in spite of such rich history, the coach house makes an ideal property for modern living. The large kitchen breakfast room is well fitted and opens straight out into the formal walled garden to the rear. There is also a well fitted separate utility area and side access too. The formal dining room faces the garden and driveway to the front of the house and in addition to the bay window there is a door which leads straight out onto the front patio for a morning cup of coffee.
At the other end of the house, is a beautiful reception with open log fire, a separate area ideal for a small library/reading area of piano. There are views to both the front and back gardens as well. The ground floor also benefits from a study, ideal for those working from home and also a downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and the master bedroom includes and en suite bathroom . There is also a separate shower room as well. Subject to planning, there is a straight forward opportunity to create a third bedroom as well on the first floor
Above the double garage, a separate annexe provides a bedroom with a fitted shower room. It is ideal for guests, a family members staying or even an adult child. Subject to necessary consents, it could also provide an income through Air Bnb or similar.
In addition to the rich history of the house, one of the most attractive features of this home is its setting and the grounds and gardens. Set in around half an acre because of its historic use, there is a charming walled garden to the rear of the house which has been beautifully hard and soft landscaped by the owners. AS part of the paddock land originally for the horses, there is a separate more informal recreational garden area which is ideal for allotment gardening, a childrens play area and has the scope for a tennis court or swimming pool subject to the necessary consents. It is very rare to be able to have two separate outside garden spaces like this for their different uses and is another reason why a viewing is so highly recommended for the special home.
There is ample parking in the gravelled drive and courtyard to the front of the house and a double garage.
Location
Kenrick's Piece is just off Church Road in the heart of the sought after Blue Triangle area of Fleet. The large houses and plots along with a large number of large mature trees gives the area a feeling of being well away from the Town Centre and yet Fleet’s High Street is only a short walk away. It is also close to Fleet mainline station making it ideal for commuters. The shops, cafes and restaurants of Fleet High Street are also close by making it a really convenient location.
Local and regional transport communications are excellent with such close proximity to Fleet mainline station providing fast frequent access into London Waterloo and Clapham Junction. Junction 4a of the M3 motorway is close by allowing access into London, Southampton and South West.
