8 bedroom house

Located in a private rural location within easy reach of excellent mainline train stations and local facilities this beautifully re-furbished Edwardian home has been upgraded from top to bottom and combines light and bright family living with elegant gardens.

Originally built in 1921 the house is set back from the road and approached along a short driveway leading to the front of the house providing ample parking, large turning area and a hedge line border between it and the main garden. A triple garage sits at the southern corner of the plot . The main entrance to the house is approached up a set of stone steps and fronted by a grand acer tree before arriving at an exterior porch (with programmable porch lights) which opens into a light and bright hallway that runs all the way through to the kitchen/living room. Two formal rooms sit alongside the hallway; a warm living room and a dining room. The living room enjoys large dual aspect windows (south and east) with a Tortoise open fire with cast iron fire surround on the easterly wall and feature alcove lighting. On the opposite side of the corridor sits the formal dining room with Amtico flooring and a bespoke fitted dresser with internal lighting and glass cabinetry. A well-equipped study (with french doors) then sits opposite the main staircase whilst a utility/ boot room (with sun tube) with downstairs WC and wet room also provides access outside. A guest WC completes the ensemble beneath the stairs. The ground floor is of beam and block construction with excellent insulation whilst all three floors benefit from acoustically insulated plaster ceilings.

The majority of the ground floor is arranged as a magnificently light and bright kitchen/living room with parquet style Amtico flooring and a bespoke Woodworks kitchen with mobile central island unit. A 3 oven gas Aga with ventilated up-chimney is accompanied by de Dietrich and Neff appliances. The living space holds a wood burning stove, a range of fitted cupboard and shelving units and a sliding glass door to the outside terrace. A sun tube has been fitted providing additional natural light to the room and the curtains and blinds are bespoke interlined Laura Ashley designed. A conservatory (with UV filter) then sits adjoining the room and provides further access to the terraced area surrounding the house. The whole house benefits from an addressable fire alarm/sprinkler system, warm water underfloor heating, Marvin safety glass with removeable sashes plus an inhouse intruder alarm fitted to the ground and first floors

The main staircase (with timed LED stair-lights) then leads to a large first floor landing off which the main bedrooms flow. A sizeable dual aspect principal suite (with balcony and two double doors) sits on the west side of the building and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom together with remote controlled gas fireplace, window seat and programmable curtain rails. A generous second suite with adjoining bathroom sits on the south-west corner of the house with a pair of dual aspect large double rooms sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom across the eastern side of the house.

The second floor then contains four additional rooms, two bedrooms with their own bathrooms and two further bedrooms; currently set as a study and a children's' snug. A final bathroom then completes the ensemble of living space in the main house.

The property's grounds stretch to just over 2 acres and include lawned garden and separate woodland trail pathways throughout. A sunken amphitheatre style garden with gazebo acts as the gateway between the property's lawn and the woodland walks. The garden benefits from a programmable irrigation system which is fed from a rainwater harvesting tank. A number of exterior seating and dining areas provide a year round selection of options including the sun kissed main terrace with central fountain. The garden is home to mature trees and numerous beds
