DESCRIPTION
Set in delightfully secluded grounds of circa 1.9 acres, this handsome detached property has been much improved by the current owners beautifully presented accommodation of particularly comfortable proportions which totals approximately 3113 sq ft (plus garage and outbuildings).
The versatile accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting room with cosy wood burning stove, the dining room which leads to two adjoining studies (offering scope to create additional bedrooms) and an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and integrated Miele appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a beautiful conservatory, a large utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The first floor galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, the principal with en-suite bathroom, the second with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom, each with smart contemporary sanitary ware.
The house is set behind a high fence affording a great deal of privacy and the entrance is via electronically operated gates which open to a generous driveway providing ample parking and access to the detached double garage. The gardens incorporate a large terrace, expanses of lawn, beautiful mature trees and shrubs, an all weather tennis court, heated swimming pool, two stables and open store and a workshop/store. There is also the games room with a full sized snooker table and adjacent cloakroom. Detached from the main dwelling, this substantial brick built structure with plumbing and services in place, could be repurposed for a variety of uses and lends itself well to the creation of an annexe (subject to all necessary consents and approvals being obtained).
For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
