One of the most beautiful period homes on the market today with high pressed ceilings and quality wooden floors and windows throughout. A beautifully restored and cleverly modernised property. Minutes away from top schools.
There are three large carpeted bedrooms upstairs with abundant floor-to-ceiling built-in cupboards. The master bedroom has a walk through dressing room and en-suite bathroom with double shower, double basin and bath. One of the other bedrooms is en-suite and there is also another separate bathroom upstairs. The entire upstairs level is secured by Trellidor.
Downstairs there is a generous bedroom and lounge (plus en-suite) accessed via the house or through an outside entrance. This suite would make an excellent dual-living option for parents or for a child at University perhaps. With its own driveway and parking for at least three cars it would also work very well as a semi-private work from home office or business premises that’s accessible from within the main house.
The formal lounge and dining room are separated by an original double-sided Victorian fireplace. The dining room has two sets of French doors to a wind-sheltered ‘al fresco’ patio with water feature which can also be accessed via double doors from the kitchen. The side patio has a wrought iron canopy designed to eventually carry a full growth of creepers to shelter this inviting outside eating area.
Aah, and the kitchen. Well, it too is beautifully crafted and as instantly appealing as it is functional. The timber centre island with prep bowl forms the focal point of the kitchen from which the Faber electric oven and gas hob, or double fridge or most of the kitchen cupboards can easily be reached. The kitchen was crafted by Rock-on-Wood – well-known for their top-end bespoke joinery. It is high quality throughout with soft close hinges and handy corner pantry unit and is, of course, plumbed for dishwasher….
Within the kitchen area is a kids TV lounge and adjacent to that a study where you can keep an eye on the eight camera surveillance system (you can also log in remotely). There’s an excellent security/alarm system in place with outside beams.
There are two vehicular accesses to the house – one swing gate opens to tandem or more parking on a paved driveway, and the other sliding gate opens to paved secure off-street parking and a generous double garage. There is even space to park a trailer on one side underneath the oak tree.
You may be wondering how the garden looks so good, especially the grass. The entire lawn is artificial grass. The kids will love playing on it and you’ll love the fact that it requires virtually no maintenance ….. (although the flowerbeds are on irrigation). There is even a very special kids only Wendy House tucked into a corner.
Everything is nicely and properly done – from the closed combustion HydrFire fireplace that heats the upstairs to the double glazing to the quality timber decking to a decent heat-pump for the pool. I really could go on and on but I’d much rather you give me a call and come to see this amazing home for yourself. It will truly be my pleasure to show it to you.
