Frongelli House

Imposing and impressive property offering generous accommodation space.


Description

The original parts of Frongelli House are thought to pre- date 1894. It was sympathetically extended and remodelled by the current owners (one of whom is an architect) in c.1986 to produce the imposing and striking house that stands today. The property offers generous accommodation space over three floors and has the potential to sub-divide to provide an annexe for family if required (subject to any necessary planning). The property enjoys generous landscaped grounds and gardens with a smart pillared entrance, second tree lined driveway, ample private parking, double garage and tennis court. In all, the property extends to about 1.5 acres (stms – subject to measured survey).

Accommodation Ground Floor
A welcoming entrance porch leads you into the large reception hall with a door leading off to the left to an inner hallway and a spiral staircase leading to the first floor studio/office (ideal for those working/ running a business from home). Double doors open off the inner hallway to the grand dining room at the rear of the house that has marble floors, two bay windows overlooking the rear gardens and a French door opening out onto the rear terrace. Another set of double doors open up on the right of the dining room to the stunning drawing room again with a marble floor and a French door to the rear garden. This room was used as an indoor swimming pool in the past and has an old shower room off in the corner. An interesting feature is the first floor gallery in the middle of the room. The current owners have since added a large conservatory off this room that has a decked area and a small plunge swimming pool. The original pool remains under the new marble floor above!!

A door leads off to the left of the dining room to the sitting room with a feature fireplace and bay window overlooking the rear gardens. Double doors open off to the character kitchen breakfast room with a smart slate floor, attractive fitted units, central island unit, space for appliances and cream coloured cooking range with LPG hob and electric oven. A useful utility room lies off with a cloak room.

First Floor
A fine crafted staircase rises up from the inner hallway to the first floor accommodation. The principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, bedside cupboards and an en suite bathroom overlooks the rear gardens. Another bedroom with an en suite bathroom is located opposite overlooking the front garden. Moving along the first floor landing there are two further bedrooms overlooking the rear gardens with a marble tiled shower room between them. The studio/office is located at the far end of the floor with double aspect views and its own separate spiral staircase to the ground floor. An impressive gallery landing overlooks the drawing room and the floor is completed by another bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

Second Floor
A staircase rises up from the gallery landing area to the second floor accommodation that includes two large bedrooms that are interconnected. The first bedroom has an impressive king post roof structure. There is another separate staircase from the main first floor landing to the second large bedroom that has a tall ceiling, part exposed roof trusses and a bay window with views over the gardens.

The property enjoys generous landscaped grounds and gardens with a smart pillared entrance, second tree lined driveway, ample private parking, stunning rear terraced garden with stone balustrade and steps, patio seating areas, large lawned areas, walled kitchen garden area with raised beds, green house, three car garage and a tennis court. In all, the property extends to about 1.5 acres (stms – subject to measured survey).
