5 bedroom detached house for sale

Originally built in the 1930s, the property has been been subject to extensive and meticulous renovation in recent years. It retains a wealth of character features throughout alongside contemporary luxury finishes, enhanced by a comprehensive interior design scheme and exemplary craftsmanship.

Upon entering, the reception hall sets a notable first impression. The home has a range of impressive reception spaces, which include a magnificent triple-aspect sitting room, complete with a bay window and a wood-burning stove, an expansive family room with versatile mezzanine level above and a vaulted dual-aspect study. The heart of the home is the expertly crafted kitchen, dining and snug area. The award-winning kitchen is a standout feature, completely bespoke and finished to a high specification with a range of integrated Gaggenau appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a dining area and a snug, with doors opening directly onto the rear garden. A fully fitted walk-in pantry adds further practicality.

A further lounge area, utility room, two downstairs cloakrooms and two plant rooms complete the downstairs accommodation.

The swimming pool complex can be accessed via the main house and includes a changing area and a pool room.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms including a wonderful principal bedroom suite with an en-suite and a walk-in-wardrobe. A family bathroom with a separate shower and bath serves the other three bedrooms. A pull-down ladder in the second bedroom provides access to a useful loft room with windows.
