House For Sale £1,695,000
From the moment you glimpse the handsome façade of this terrific property, it is hard not to be captivated by its style and presence. This spacious and beautifully proportioned house is one of the oft-admired, large detached properties arranged along the Eastern side of quiet, leafy Hampton Lane. The house dates from 1940’s and is of good quality and size, with elegant rooms on all floors displaying a great deal of natural light throughout. The accommodation is beautifully presented and very flexible with four spacious ground-floor reception rooms, as well as five bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over the first and second floors. The property is supremely well positioned in the north-west corner of the city, offering excellent, easy access into the heart of the city.
The house has the added attraction of lying close to the mainline railway station for commuters to London and elsewhere and is surrounded by excellent local private and state schools for children of all ages. This exceptional family home has well-tended and beautiful gardens of 1/5 acre.
This immensely spacious property boasts well-balanced living accommodation which offers excellent versatility for modern family life. The principal receptions radiate from a large central hall which has lovely natural limestone flooring, and from which the staircase leads up to the upper floors. To one end of the hall there is a welcoming sitting room with a large window overlooking the garden, and a log-burner as a smart centrepiece. At the front of the house there is also a smaller, cosy sitting room or study which overlooks the leafy lane. The attractive kitchen/dining room is an excellent size, stretching the depth of the house on the other side of the hall, and this has ample units, two oven Aga and space for free-standing appliances. This wonderful room is immensely practical and sociable as it is open-plan, linking through into the large conservatory at the rear of the house which has doors directly to the garden. There is a W.C. Off the main hall which concludes the ground floor accommodation.
In all, there are an impressive five bedrooms arranged over the first and second floors, as well as a bathroom and a shower room. The rooms on both upper floors are accessed from good-sized landings, which contribute to the overall feeling of space. Of particular note is the lovely master bedroom with large box-bay window overlooking the garden, built-in wardrobes and with sizeable en-suite bathroom boasting both shower and bath. On the second floor part of the landing area could comfortably be used for a study if required.
The wonderfully mature gardens, of 1/5 acre, are a super feature of this lovely property. The good-sized front garden with its carriage driveway ensures the house sits well back from the road and is therefore private and imposing.
There is a great deal of space externally, which is sure to appeal to families, with a sizeable area of lawn at the back - and plenty of space to each side of the house to boot.
There is ample space to widen the driveway which leads to a detached double garage set back from the house, and there is a good deal of scope to reconfigure the outside space if required.
The current owners have secured planning permission to convert the garage and enhance the external façade.
