Description
Built around 1929, this striking detached property has been a much loved family home providing comfortable accommodation, with a practical and flexible layout over two floors. It now offers an opportunity to modernise, reconfigure and extend. On the ground floor, the large, light, dual aspect drawing room has a bay window and double doors opening to the south facing terrace overlooking the garden. The L-shaped sitting/dining room leads to the kitchen and, with windows and sliding doors to the terrace, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a large study, a useful utility room and a cloakroom.
On the first floor, the large principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, and double doors open to a wide balcony with glorious garden views. There are five further bedrooms, together with a family bathroom, separate shower room and additional cloakroom.
The mature south facing gardens and grounds extend to around 10 acres and are a particularly attractive feature. To the front, the driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the double garage and single garage, and there are numerous other outbuildings, suitable as workshops, potting sheds and for extensive storage.
To the rear, a raised terrace, ideal for entertaining, leads to the wonderful gardens and grounds with lawns, wild flower garden areas, woodland and mature trees, plants and shrubs. The plot extends to about 10 acres in total.
