5 bedroom house

The front door opens to reveal a bright and inviting double-height entrance hall. The use of wood panelling throughout the home provides a warm and welcoming feel. A feature open tread staircase with stylish wrought iron balustrade rises to the gallery landing where the eye is drawn to the wooden overhead ceiling. A high-level window combines with a ground-level glass block window in front of the stairs to provide ample natural light.
Leading in from the entrance hall is an L-shaped drawing room with a stone fireplace and bay window having superb views to the rear gardens.
A modern style kitchen fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units with integrated appliances. A black and white gas-fired Aga blends seamlessly. A lovely breakfast bar with display cabinets above provides an informal dining area, perfect for busy mornings. A separate kitchenette/utility room accessed from the kitchen contains a second cooker and plenty of additional storage space. A side patio door provides outdoor access.
A large dining room, perfect for dinner parties has a large window overlooking the garden and provides plenty of natural light. The dining room could easily double as a sitting room.
Bedroom five on the ground floor has fitted wardrobes providing ample storage space. The large window overlooks the excellent rear gardens.
A sitting room which can easily double as a sixth bedroom with a large window providing views to the side garden.
There is a modern and well-fitted shower room with a heated floor and a double walk-in shower at ground level. A separate cloakroom WC serves well as a guest WC being located just off the entrance hallway.
A sliding door can close all these rooms to the rest of the ground floor living accommodation making this wing perfect as a self-contained annexe for multi-generation living.
Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the glorious gallery landing. From here all of the upstairs bedrooms can be accessed. All four rooms are double.
The principal bedroom is a large room that receives morning sun from the large centre-pivoting window. Two sets of wardrobes on either side of the window combine with additional mirrored wardrobes in two corners of the bedroom providing superb storage. Two additional storage areas in the eaves on either side of the room provide even more storage space. A window seat with large drawers under provides stunning views to the superb side garden and a lovely relaxing place to read, chat or unwind before bedtime.
The family bathroom is a large size and serves all of the first floor bedrooms.
The property sits in an elevated position. The wrap-around terrace patio flows from the driveway to either side of the house and through the rear.
Steps and paved ramps lead down to three lawned areas from the rear and the side of the property. Not being overlooked, the gardens are tranquil with deep, mature planted borders providing year-round colour and privacy. These superb gardens are well maintained and perfect for relaxation, entertaining, sun lounging and quiet contemplation.
To the side of the property, the garden flows into a level lawned and terraced area. A garden house with a veranda makes a perfect playroom or office, with a utility room.
The current owner has had multiple requests from developers to purchase land within the plot to build a second dwelling in the grounds of the property. Potential access could be granted to the new building via the side of the current home where the utility room currently sits or from the unused road that runs behind the left-hand boundary as you're standing at the front of the property. This unused access road connects directly to The Fordrough. All potential plans would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents which have, to date, not been sought. All potential purchasers are advised to make their own investigations.
