Offering a rare combination of leafy privacy and immediate access to all the needs of modern family life, this substantial and elegant detached house is encompassed by its beautiful grounds of some 1.3 acres. Originally built around 1930, the house has undergone complete transformation in recent years with sympathetic extension and refurbishment without compromise to create a spacious family home with many refinements. Perfectly balanced living spaces and bedrooms reflect the demands of today's family life and there is ample space for working from home as well as excellent space for leisure activities and entertaining on a grand scale. The gated frontage provides secure parking for several cars in addition to the double garage and the lovely gardens encompass the house. There is an all-weather tennis court and a broad, porcelain-tiled terrace with South aspect - a perfect space for outdoor sitting and dining with family and friends. An interior viewing is essential to appreciate this exceptional property.
