Description
This impressive detached house, dating back to the 1840s, is set back from the road and screened by mature trees, providing privacy. It is accessed via a private road, Poplar Avenue.
The property boasts spacious living and entertaining areas, totalling 4,170 square feet. The house is rich in period features, including detailed panelling, striking fireplaces, and high ceilings. The current owners have carefully renovated the home, introducing modern comforts such as a new heating system and updated windows, while preserving its original charm. An impressive extension has created a new reception room, featuring roof lanterns and bifold doors that open onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.
Inside, the home offers a formal dining room, which leads into the main reception room with a stunning fireplace that adds to the room's elegant character. The spacious reception hall, adorned with beautiful panelled walls, also includes a ground-floor cloakroom. The modern kitchen and breakfast room provide a welcoming space for everyday living and offer bifold doors leading directly into the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a utility room and a boot room. A second staircase leads from the kitchen to the first floor.
The first floor accommodates five generously sized bedrooms, with the principal bedroom offering a vaulted ceiling, an en suite shower room, and a dressing area. In addition, there are two further bathrooms serving the other bedrooms.
The beautifully landscaped garden is a standout feature of the property, with various points of interest such as a swimming pool, a pond, mature trees, and a charming summer house. A pathway leads to double gates that open onto Newmarket Road, adding a sense of convenience and accessibility to this idyllic home.
