accommodation - ground floor
A covered porch with original tiled path leads to the part glazed front door, which opens into the entrance hall with travertine tiled flooring. The hall opens to a sitting room that overlooks the rear garden with a full array of windows and a stone Chesney fireplace with real flame gas fire. A glazed door from the hall also leads to a triple aspect dining room, with an open fire with decorative wooden mantle and double doors opening to the rear. The kitchen overlooks the front garden, and is fitted with a bespoke Harvey Jones kitchen, with granite worktops and breakfast bar and integral appliances including double ovens, induction hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A utility room is accessible from the kitchen, with an additional sink and space and plumbing for appliances. The kitchen leads to a family room, with French doors opening to a patio at the side, as well as a rear aspect study. A door from the family room leads to a shower room, ideally positioned for access to the swimming pool, and a door to the front. There is underfloor heating throughout some of the ground floor.
Accommodation - first floor
A turning staircase leads to a galleried landing, overlooking the rear garden, with access into the loft (agent's note: This is a large boarded space with a velux window, which offers potential for further development, subject to usual permissions). The main bedroom is rear aspect, with a pleasant outlook over the westerly facing gardens and distant hills beyond. An archway leads to a dressing room with a full range of built in wardrobes, and then further into an en-suite with a jacuzzi bath and separate shower. There is a further double bedroom, again with a range of wardrobes and front aspect overlooking the cherry blossom and swimming pool. Two additional bedrooms, one with a built in wardrobe, and a family bathroom fitted with a bath with shower overhead completes the accommodation.
Outside space
A timber electric gate opens to a long hardstanding and brick paved drive providing ample parking leading to the double garage. The garden at the front has an easterly aspect, bounded by hedging with a swimming pool with patio surrounding. The swimming pool is heated by a separate air source heat pump, with thermal cover. A walled courtyard to the side provides an excellent outdoor eating space. The rear garden is a particular feature, facing southwest and laid to lawn with planted flower and rose beds. The garden is planted with an appealing variety of mature and flowering trees, and is enclosed by a mix of hedging. The plot as a whole measures approximately 0.54 acres.
