The living area is carpeted whilst the kitchen area has a lino floor. The fitted kitchen has a built-in fridge/freezer, AEG hob and oven and an integrated Bosch slimline dishwasher. The large bedroom (17’9 x 15’9) has windows to the front and rear, along with an en suite shower room. A separate door leads out to the car port area, allowing the flat to be used and accessed independently from the main house.
__________
COURTYARD
A large brickweave courtyard separates the main house from the annex.
__________
AMBERLEY LODGE ANNEX (ANNEX)
Whilst being called an annex, the annex feels like a totally self-contained house. Set over 2 floors, it offers approx. 1770 Sq.Ft. of accommodation with lovely views over the garden and provides excellent and flexible ancillary accommodation to the main house. We have been told the annex was built a year or two after the main house was constructed.
Ground floor
The annex is entered on the ground floor through the front door into the entrance hall, which leads to the following rooms:
Sitting room (19’8 x 13’2)
The bright living room has a triple aspect with sliding door to the side leading directly out to the side garden.
Dining room (15’8 x 10’5)
The dining room has a window to the side and can be accessed from either the living room or the internal hallway.
Kitchen/family room (33’11 x 18’11)
The kitchen/breakfast room is located to the rear of the annex and was extended approx. 10 years ago to create a larger space for kitchen/dining, with French doors to the rear. There is a built-in oven, microwave, space for a dishwasher, induction hob (extractor above). Under floor (wet) heating was installed in the kitchen/breakfast room when the extension work was done.
Utility room
The pressurised hot water system is housed in the utility room along with a back door allowing direct access to the side terrace, ideal for hanging out washing etc.
Shower room
There is a downstairs shower room with walk in shower and W.C. Having a downstairs shower room allows ground floor/single storey living should this be required, as the dining room/study could be repurposed as a ground floor bedroom.
First floor
The staircase leads up from the ground floor entrance hall to the first-floor landing which comprises the following:
Main bedroom (19’8 x 13’2)
The spacious main bedroom is located to the front of the annex and enjoys a triple aspect.
Bedroom 2 (11’11 x 10’5)
Bedroom 2 enjoys a view of the rear garden
Bedroom 3 (12’6 x 6’2)
Bedroom 3 also enjoys a view of the rear garden.
__________
OUTSIDE
The House and Annex are on the same title and share the land/gardens etc.
The front garden is mainly a large, wooded area with gravel drive leading up to the house. We understand from our client that every tree in the front garden (with a diameter of 20cm or more) is subject to a TPO, but this helps to create and maintain the lovely woodland setting.
The gravel driveway leads up to the house, with a turning circle leading to a parking area. To the left of the house is a double covered car port (which can be driven through) and beyond this is a large brick weave terrace area between the main house and the annex.
The rear gardens are currently “divided” into three pockets, allowing the house and annex to either enjoy their own private gardens, or be used communally.
Behind the garage/studio block is the first area, which our client calls the paddock. This is mainly laid to lawn, with a double 5 bar wooden gated entrance off the neighbouring lane. There are a number of sheds here, along with the now disused oil tank and the air source heat pump (for the annex).
Directly to the rear/side of the annex is the main annex garden, which has been thoughtfully landscaped and is framed with several mature trees.
Finally, the garden of the house is directly behind and to the side of the house and is currently separated from the annex garden with a pergola.
__________
GARAGE/STUDIO
The previous garage has been converted into a two-storey studio complete with ground floor kitchen and shower room. We believe our client has not obtained planning permission for this to be classed as additional dwelling space but with the necessary consents etc, this space could be converted and finished off to create additional accommodation. The space currently extends to approximately 800 Sq. Ft.
