Description
The Glass House is an elegant and substantial family home believed to originate from 1603, restored in the mid-to-late 20th Century, and has since been sympathetically modernised to provide immaculate living space arranged over three floors, combining fine period features with modern embellishments. Salient points include feature fireplaces throughout, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, stylish bespoke kitchen and bathroom suites, exposed wood flooring and mullioned windows with diamond paned casements, and integrated Audio Visual to most rooms. Also of note is the detached annexe, studio and delightful gardens and grounds amounting to just over 1.5 acres.
The well-proportioned drawing room and dining room are both double aspect with feature fireplaces and provide excellent areas for both formal entertaining and family living. The drawing room also features an integrated home cinema system with projector and drop down screen.
The spacious kitchen/dining/ family room comprises a bespoke kitchen with a range of wall and base units with integral ‘Wolf’ appliances including a double oven, hob and warming drawer, a large corner fridge, an island with a sink and breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry and a fireplace with a log burning stove. French doors open to the extensive terrace.
A utility room adjoins the kitchen and provides further storage and space for appliances, a WC, boot room and access to outside.
Located on the first floor is an impressive double aspect principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and stylish en suite bathroom featuring an impressive roll top bath with claw feet and separate shower.
Two further bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces and served by en suites, one with a small study and walk in wardrobes, and a well-appointed family bathroom with separate shower and a sauna complete the first floor.
To the second floor are two further bedrooms, one with eaves access and one with a walk-in storage cupboard, and a bathroom.
The Glass House benefits from a gated driveway providing ample off road parking and leading to a substantial detached garage block with a workshop and games room over.
There is a secondary double garage with an adjoining annexe featuring a kitchen/dining/living area, bathroom and bedroom to the first floor.
The impressive landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with well-established flowerbeds, a pond, several paved terraces and a delightful summerhouse, ideal for al fresco entertaining. There is a parterre garden to one side of the house, and a kitchen garden with a number of raised beds and a greenhouse. In total the plot amounts to about 1.5 acres and provides year round colour and a high degree of interest.
The garden also benefits from a spacious studio with a kitchenette and shower room with WC, providing a versatile space with potential to be used as a home office or an art/exercise studio.
