A substantial detached house enjoying stunning landscaped gardens totalling c.0.66acre, versatile outbuildings and a semi-rural position that is just minutes away from great transport networks. No onward chain.
ACCOMMODATION:
This attractive detached house has benefited from various extensions over many years to now offer versatile accommodation which still offers the space and potential to further adapt to the needs of what will be this home's first new owners in over 100years, having been occupied by our vendor and their family throughout that time. The principal entrance is found at the front elevation, opening into a large reception room at the heart of the property. This is currently set up as a music room although could provide an excellent welcome room or formal reception space. From here there is access to all ground floor accommodation, as well as stairs rising to the first floor. Doors lead in either direction to the cosy informal sitting room with its coal effect gas fire and double doors opening to the conservatory. In the other direction, the formal dining room enjoys a large bay window taking in views of the stunning gardens and offers great space to host family gatherings, linking directly with the kitchen. Here you'll find a range of fitted wall and base units with work surfaces and one and a half bowl sink and drainer. Integral appliances include an oil-fired Aga, eye level electric oven and ceramic hob. A further breakfast room at the end of the kitchen provides a space suitable for both a morning coffee, as well as informal dining, again taking in a wonderful garden aspect. Completing the ground floor, a lobby provides entry to and from the rear of the property where the garage is located, as well as to the utility room and enclosed shower room within, which provide essential facilities for country living.
To the first floor there are four excellent size bedrooms, two of which feature bay windows and the particularly spacious principal room enjoys a dual aspect taking in fabulous views not only over the gardens across the surrounding countryside beyond. There are both a large family bathroom and a separate shower room, both with WC and wash basins, serving the four bedrooms.
OUTSIDE:
The stunning formal gardens and lawns extending mainly to the south and west of the property, are undoubtedly the star of the show. Totalling c.0.66acre, the array of mature trees, fully stocked borders, vegetable growing facilities and sprawling lawns have been thoughtfully landscaped by our vendor and their family over the past 100years, to truly provide areas of interest for the whole family. Sun worshipers will find a secluded spot at all times of the day to suit and families with children and pets will no doubt love the open spaces in which to roam. An abundance of parking is provided by the long 'horseshoe' shaped driveway, which also facilitates easy vehicular entry and exit. Additional vehicle storage is also available in the form of a car port at the front and a larger than average garage at the rear, accessed by a separate entrance. An outhouse attached to the rear of the garage provides useful storage space, as well as great potential to create an external office if required. Viewings are essential to fully appreciate the privacy and picturesque setting of this wonderful home.
