Description
Dating back to the 1920s, Willow Tree House has been extended over time to create a generous family home. Having been further updated by our clients in recent years, the property provides light, spacious and beautifully presented accommodation, with a flexible layout that can be arranged to suit individual needs.
The generous ground floor offers a wealth of accommodation and reception space. The house is currently arranged with a formal sitting room at one end of the house, with a lovely outlook over the garden and French doors onto the decked terrace and gardens beyond. The dining room with striking feature fireplace and the family/tv snug room, also benefit from the views over and direct access onto the terrace and gardens.
The kitchen has both attractive wall and base units together with a breakfast bar, providing plenty of preparation space and storage together with a large range cooker, space for a dishwasher and space for an American style fridge/freezer. The kitchen is open to the breakfast room which can accommodate a good-sized dining table for more informal dining, the breakfast room also opens directly onto the gardens. A useful utility room adjoins the kitchen and leads to the ground floor cloak room. There are two useful store cupboards behind the very pretty doors with matching stained glass panels.
The first floor offers further flexibility, with up to five bedrooms available if required. Currently our clients use the space to provide them with an impressive principal bedroom, with stylishly appointed en suite shower room, using one of the bedrooms as a dressing room. A further single bedroom and double bedroom are served by the family bathroom. The fifth bedroom and hall way are currently used by our clients as a first floor study, ideal for today's working from home needs, and a first floor sitting room from which to take in the elevated views, but this could of course be used as a traditional bedroom if needed.
Outside: An impressive, decked terrace, which can be accessed directly from all of the reception rooms, spans the width of the house with a number of different areas for seating, barbecuing and outdoor dining whilst enjoying the delightful views over the garden and neighbouring countryside.
Steps lead down to the large and established garden, the lawn is interspersed with trees, shrubs and hedging providing interest,colour and privacy. To the rear of the garden lies the swimming pool area, with decking, a pool house and play area beyond, ideal for entertaining friends and family on a large scale and enjoyment during the warmer months.
To the front, Willow Tree House is comfortably set back from Shrub Lane, with established planting providing a high degree of privacy to the front. The house is approached via a five-bar gated driveway with parking for several cars and access to the garage and rear of the property.
