5 bedroom detached house

Flushing House is a superb example of a five bedroom period residence extending over 5,300 sq ft. Nestling on a 0.48 acre plot, part of the property is reputed to date back to the 16th Century with later architectural changes from then until the present day. The property has been the subject of considerable modernisation to a high standard by the present owners who have created a modern contemporary interior yet managed to retain the sympathetic character and charm of the original house. There is NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Approached via a gated driveway, steps lead to the front entrance with a reception hall and cloakroom for guests. The focal point of the home is an impressive open plan kitchen/breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and Velux windows providing additional natural light. The kitchen area features a considerable range of floor and wall mounted cupboard storage, extensive granite worktops for preparation and has the benefit of Neff integral appliances and an additional Mercury range cooker.

An inner hall provides access to the conservatory and onto a superb drawing room with a feature fireplace and a formal dining room, ideal for entertaining guests and family. A quiet home office is located towards the end of the hallway.

A rising staircase from the reception hall leads to all of the first floor bedrooms.
