6 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION Much improved and extended in recent years, 'Arboretum' is set in a gently elevated hillside position, amongst the impressive backdrop of Dolberrow. As the name would suggest, the house enjoys a glorious park like setting with a wonderful and interesting mature garden, which is enriched by a variety of trees and shrubs, with many discrete landscaped seating areas to enjoy the stunning surroundings.
The property is approached via a small yet easily accessible no through lane keeping traffic to a minimum. To the front of the property a five-bar gate opens onto a spacious stone paved private driveway with ample parking for several vehicles.
To the right of the driveway is a large stone-faced double garage/workshop which is alarmed, and to the left is a pretty level lawn, enclosed by a beech hedge.
A neat stone footpath leads to the welcoming entrance porch with a tiled floor, continuing through the oak door you arrive at a spacious reception hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor with oak balustrades and handrail. The reception hallway has a useful store cupboard and cloakroom and is complimented by rich oak flooring and a contemporary radiator.
To the right of the hallway glazed French doors lead into a spectacular 26'0 triple aspect living room with a lovely cast iron wood burner with oak over mantle, the wood flooring continues into the sitting room and uniforms the rooms perfectly. Within the sitting room are two pairs of French doors that flow the accommodation effortlessly out to a superb patio.
The sitting room/T.V room is set to the left of the entrance and is the perfect space to enjoy a little peace and quiet in front of the atmospheric fireplace, alternatively it could also be utilised as a separate playroom of even ground floor bedroom if desired.
To the rear of the ground floor lies the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a real family hub of the home. Fitted with a substantial range of traditional cream shaker style units topped with a contrasting granite countertop, there is space for a range style cooker and plumbing for an American Style fridge freezer, with an additional peninsula unit with an integrated wine fridge and a separate door into the walk-in pantry. There is plenty of space for a good size dining/breakfast table in front of French doors that look out over the beautiful rear garden.
There is also a generous separate utility room with further storage cupboards and plumbing for white goods.
On the first floor are the six individual bedrooms and three bathrooms. To the front aspect are three of the bedrooms, two of which benefit from over stairs storage cupboards and the third having a dual aspect and currently being used as a large home office. The master bedroom is a truly impressive and characterful room with a superb rear facing Juliette balcony, beautiful vaulted ceiling and plush solid wood floor. It has a magnificent walk-in dressing room and a luxurious en-suite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are also rear facing and are both good size doubles, one of the rooms also benefits from its own spacious en-suite bathroom, complete with a contemporary white suite with a modern roll top bath and separate shower.
Completing the first-floor accommodation is the family bathroom, again beautifully appointed with a modern white suite, stylishly finished with retro glazed brick wall tiles and cool geometric floor tiles.
Outside, the incredible garden is every bit as impressive as the property itself, rich in colour and contrast, it is a wonderful space to lose yourself within the myriad of footpaths and trees, and also enjoy the discrete seating areas, stunning al fresco dining terrace and incredible decked veranda. The garden also has plenty of space to cultivate vegetables, keep chickens or even further landscape to erect a summer house, poly tunnel or even a home office.
