A substantial and well presented property dating from the 1930's with detached studio amid generous mature gardens with fabulous rural views to the rear * Cranbrook School catchment area *
Briars Bank is a substantial property, originally dating from the 1930’s which has recently been remodelled and modernised to create a spacious and versatile family home. The bright and airy accommodation is arranged on two floors with attic rooms, benefits from good sized windows, many of the rooms being double aspect and taking advantage of high levels of natural light. All principal rooms afford panoramic south westerly views to the rear over open countryside.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully and cleverly designed to be ideal for both families and entertaining. Two of the reception rooms and the kitchen/breakfast room benefit from French or bi-fold doors to the terrace which is the perfect spot for socialising and relaxing. There are three inviting reception rooms in all, and the sitting and dining room share a striking fireplace housing a double-sided wood burning stove. The outstanding kitchen comprises an excellent range of fitted cabinets with complementary island including breakfast bar. Appliances include a gas fired stainless steel range cooker, American style fridge and freezer and a dishwasher. The adjacent utility room provides further fitted cabinets and plenty of space for additional appliances, including a second dishwasher.
On the first floor, the master bedroom features a large picture window to take in the glorious view, and fitted wardrobes. There is also a smart, recently completed shower room with walk in shower and an adjacent fitted dressing room which could be utilised as an additional bedroom. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor and a well appointed family bathroom. Above, two versatile vaulted attic rooms provide the ideal space for a teenager, au pair or office suite.
The gardens and grounds provide generous space for family recreation and games on the sweeping lawns which are all encompassed by mature hedging. At the front there is electric gated access to the driveway which provides ample space for numerous vehicles alongside the front garden and detached timber studio/gym (former double garage) with its impressive vaulted interior.
At the rear there is a substantial stone terrace providing the perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining. This area overlooks the expansive lawns and beyond, box hedging screens a further area where the above ground heated swimming pool and a pretty timber summer house are situated. Other highlights of the garden include an abundance of flowering shrubs and mature trees, climber clad pergolas, a range of apple trees and a lengthy garden store.
