Features and description
AN ELEGANT, REMODELLED & FULLY RENOVATED VICTORIAN RESIDENCE WITH CLASSICALLY PROPORTIONED ROOMS & PERIOD FEATURES SET ON A PRIVATE PLOT 0.6 OF AN ACRE IN THE SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE OF ASPLEY GUISE.
Peacehaven is an attractive and imposing Victorian home and echoes the character of its era with noticeably well-proportioned rooms with tall ceiling heights and sash windows allowing ample light into the living space.
During our client’s ownership the property has undergone a substantial renovation and extension programme successfully creating a period home fit for 21st Century living.
Improvements include new roof and repointed chimneys in 2019, full rewire, App controlled central heating with radiator and underfloor to main living areas, complete redecoration in Farrow and Ball Heritage tones, new floor coverings throughout and a new double garage with office/studio above.
Two quality extensions including a superb kitchen/dining and family room with lantern roof lights, island and two sets of bespoke French doors to the garden have transformed the house and is perfect for modern living and entertaining.
Period features have been restored and retained such as original cast iron and tiled fireplaces, panelled doors, corniced ceilings combined with new mosaic tiled flooring and quality period sanitaryware throughout the home.
With the accommodation arranged over two floors there are four reception rooms, the superb kitchen/living area, two utility rooms, bathroom and five double bedrooms, a bath and separate shower room on the first floor.
Outside the house stands prominently on its plot with electric gated frontage with ample parking and garage set to one side. At the rear of the property is a private formal garden with two new sun terraces and seating areas set around lawns and borders.
A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality renovation, presentation and lifestyle on offer at Peacehaven.
GROUND FLOOR
The property is entered via a traditional door with etched glass panels leading into a welcoming hall with mosaic patterned tiled flooring and tall corniced ceilings. Stairs rise to the first floor with a cupboard under and to one end a door leads to the side access. Lying to the right, a study faces to the front and has a cast iron tiled fireplace with the sitting room, offering a view over the rear garden, having a fireplace with an inset log burning stove.
Beyond these rooms, a recent extension forms a wing to the west side of the property and comprises a super triple aspect games room with lantern roof light, a family/TV room and utility room with Butler sink unit and useful cloaks, hanging and top cupboards with a side access door. Having independent access this area lends itself to an annex facility if needed and has underfloor heating throughout.
Flowing to the left of the hall and forming the heart of the house, the combined kitchen, dining and family room overlooks the rear garden and has a glazed orangery to the eastern corner with lantern roof lights.
The kitchen is extensively fitted with a quality range of base and eye level cupboards set around a central island unit with inset sink, quooker tap and quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include a gas hob and extractor set into a pillared canopy with cupboards and quartz upstand. There are Neff double ovens, combined microwave oven, coffee machine, dishwasher, wine cooler and full-height fridge.
Two sets of French doors lead to the garden terraces with a feature fireplace and log burner in the living area and ceramic flooring flows throughout which has underfloor heating.
A second utility room has full-length storage cupboards, worktops, space for washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer with a separate boiler room housing the gas boiler, water tank and fuse boxes.
Completing the ground floor, a cloak and bathroom is finished in a period suite of slipper bath, twin vanity sink units, high level wc and complimentary tiling.
FIRST FLOOR
All the bedrooms, bath and shower room radiate off the landing which has an airing cupboard, access to the substantial loft and a picture window to the front. The main bedroom suite overlooks the rear garden and has an original fireplace with a walk-in dressing area fitted with hanging rails and sliding drawers. A good size ensuite features a slipper bath, wash stand and inset basin with marble top, wc, walk-in shower area with period rainwater head and chrome heated towel rail.
There are four further double bedrooms, three having period fireplaces and dual aspect windows. Finally, a separate bath and shower room are both stylishly fitted with white heritage suites and complimentary tiling including a roll-top bath, medicine cupboard and chrome heated towel rails to the bathroom.
OUTSIDE
Peacehaven is approached via an electric gate opening into a large driveway providing ample parking for eight to ten cars with bordered edging and to the right a detached double garage. The garage has an electric up and over door, hot water supply and internal access to the entrance hall of the studio/home office situated over the garage area. This also has its own pedestrian access door to and from the garden and has a useful first floor cloakroom and storage cupboard.
A feature of the property is the large and private southerly facing garden with terrace patios for barbecues etc. A paved path leads to a secluded seating area all bordered by lawns and mature trees, shrubs, holly and rhododendrons.
The garden trees are illuminated at night and there is an app-controlled irrigation system throughout the garden and borders.
