Description

Built in 1956, this spacious home is situated within a generous, secure plot of 1.48 acres and has been extensively altered over the years to create an expansive family home with excellent flow and a wealth of striking features.

The substantial home offers almost 3500 sq ft of space over two floors, with good-size rooms throughout and high ceilings, large windows and a mostly neutral colour scheme adding to the feeling of light and space.

The accommodation is given a striking first impression by the entrance hall, which has an attractive staircase rising to the first floor. The entrance hall leads to a 20ft triple aspect sitting/family room and separate dining room. The fantastic open plan kitchen/dining room extension is now a wonderful space for entertaining, with two sets of bifold doors opening to the garden for meals during the summer months and ample seating for the family to live and relax at the same time. There is a further family room to the front of the house further enhancing a house already boasting ample living space.

Also to the ground floor is a wealth of useful service accommodation and storage including a W.C. Cloakroom, utility room, larder and a boiler space.

Upstairs there are six double bedrooms, including a series of rooms with annexe potential comprising two double bedrooms/bedroom and sitting room, a kitchenette and shower room, which would make an ideal self-contained space for grandparents or older children. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the expansive grounds comprise of a formal front garden adjoining a large carriage driveway with ample off-street parking and a very good size rear garden with a patio for outdoor dining. The garden has a very private feel with established trees around the boundary making it feel secluded and tucked away. Further highlights include a tennis court and a selection of outbuildings including a garage, workshop, car port, stable and store. The range of outbuildings also offer good potential for development or conversion within the extensive grounds of 1.48 of an acre.
