4 bedroom house

General information An exceptional family home set back from the road in mature grounds of around 1.2 acres, occupying an idyllic position in a private gated community.

The Furze is an exclusive development on the southern fringes of Mundon, consisting of four executive style homes, thought to have been built around 30 years ago. Furzewood House has an impressive frontage and driveway as you approach the property.

A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal reception rooms, stairs to the first floor, cloakroom and a study which overlooks the front garden.

The sitting room is positioned to the front of the house and is a comfortable space, with a central chimney stack featuring an inglenook fireplace with open fire grate with inset log burner. The dining room, which is an exceptional space, is ideal for entertaining with two sets of French doors that lead out to the garden.

The bespoke open-plan kitchen has light coloured units with contrasting work surfaces, integrated American style fridge/freezer and range cooker. The utility room houses the central heating boiler, a built-in washing machine and dryer and provides access to the outside.

To the first floor are four generously proportioned bedrooms and a tiled family bathroom, comprising large bathtub with shower over, WC and wash hand basin. Bedroom one is positioned to the front of the property and has a full length built-in wardrobe and a generous ensuite with a large shower cubicle, bathtub, WC and wash hand basin.

The remaining bedrooms are positioned to the rear, each with character features and views of the garden.  

The outside Approached via a gated entrance and shared driveway, the house has a very impressive frontage with a private driveway that wraps around to the rear of the house. This provides ample parking along with four garages which can accommodate up to 10 cars together with a double cart lodge, ideal for car enthusiasts to display their collection. The garage adjoining the cart lodge has an external flight of stairs that lead up to a versatile room currently being used as a gym.

The rear garden has a wonderful terrace and lawned gardens that wrap around the house. The grounds total approximately 1.2 acres with a manageable garden and feature a selection of mature trees. Part of the boundary backs onto neighbouring paddocks and woodland which give this house a very private aspect.
