</br>
<b>The Property</b>
This appealing property was built circa 1934 in a retro Tudorbethan style, with half-timbered elevations, bow windows and a wealth of herringbone oak parquet flooring internally.
</br>
The property has since been extended, now offering a spacious family home with extensive reception accommodation and sits within large private gardens with the principal lawns being south facing.
</br>
<b>The Accommodation</b>
A recessed entrance gives way to a panelled oak front door opening into a welcoming central reception hall with access to a shower room with WC and cloaks room.
</br>
To the front of the property is a well-proportioned dining room with exposed wood parquet flooring, a fireplace with decorative surround and dual aspects providing plenty of natural daylight. Adjoining the dining room with access through bi-fold doors is the principal reception room also featuring exposed parquet flooring, a hole in the wall cassette gas fireplace and sliding patio doors affording beautiful views and access to the rear garden. Also located to the front of the property is a large study which would equally suit as a family games room.
</br>
At the heart of the property is the kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, which could be incorporated with the large adjoining utility room, to create a spacious family kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of cabinets under granite work surfaces with appliances including a Rangemaster gas cooker with canopy extractor hood and integral dishwasher and fridge. The kitchen benefits from a wonderful walk-in pantry. The side vestibule provides access to a large utility room housing the central heating boiler, cloaks storage and plumbing for laundry appliances, with an adjoining separate WC.
</br>
Adjacent to the breakfast kitchen is the snug and to the rear of the breakfast room double doors open into a substantial timber framed and partially double-glazed conservatory with twin French doors and views to the established rear gardens.
</br>
Occupying the eastern wing of the ground floor accommodation is a large, covered walkway ideal as a general storeroom with double doors to the front and rear elevation, and a single doorway opening into a double garage with power and lighting and attractive hardwood panel sliding doors.
</br>
An elegant turned staircase rises to the first-floor landing providing access to all four double bedrooms, three of which enjoy bespoke fitted wardrobes. The large family bathroom enjoys a corner bath with thermostatic shower over, "his and hers" vanity sink unit with illuminated mirror above, a bidet and WC.
</br>
<b>Outside</b>
The property sits behind a mature and neatly clipped beech hedge giving privacy from the avenue with double metal gates giving access onto a substantial gravelled driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles in turn leading to the double garage. To the front of the property is a lawned garden to one side, fringed with deep well-stocked borders with rhododendrons, bamboo, rose and an impressive, clipped yew.
</br>
The principal gardens sit to the rear with a southerly aspect, mainly laid to lawn with a natural stone paved terrace to the rear, and an ornamental pond with adjoining rockery with water feature. The gardens are well-established with deep borders with an additional "secret" garden accessed via a pergola. This ancillary garden features a mature apple tree and a garden shed with compost area.
