House For Sale £1,200,000
Situated in an elevated position with wonderful far-reaching views, The Hangers dates back to 1879 and offers an impeccable example of contemporary life in an outstanding detached period property.
Built by the Victorian diarist and surveyor Edward Ryde and passed down through the family, today this immaculate home is a designated House of Local Historical Interest. Named after the wooded slope on which it was built, its expansive footprint effortlessly combines a wealth of original charm and character with luxurious finishing touches.
From the subtle colours of the stained glass doors and the distinguished patterns of the original Minton tiled floor to its high ceilings and elegant cornicing, the large entrance hallway sets the tone for this Victorian home and hints at what's to come.
Beautifully lit by a duo of large sash bay windows the notable proportions of the double aspect drawing room give an instant indication of the amount of space this home has to offer. Creating a superb space to spend time together as a family, a log burner sits beneath a timber mantle and original cornicing wraps-around the high ceiling, while window seats add to its welcoming charm. With sash bay windows of its own, the double aspect dining room generates a hugely sophisticated space to entertain. The original period fireplace with its detailed tiling adds an instant focal point and sympathetically styled cabinets nestle within the chimney breast alcoves without encroaching on the aesthetics of the room. Creating an easy flowing extension of a versatile space, double doors open onto the stone paved patio of the secluded gardens from the additional family room/study with its richly toned wood floor and discerning cast iron fireplace.
An open plan layout makes the breakfast room and kitchen the heart and hub of this family home. Looking out onto the verdant greenery of the gardens from its bay windows, the breakfast room is ideally sized for relaxed family meals, easily accommodating a dining table with room to spare. Its tasteful heritage tones flow through a feature archway into the wonderfully appointed kitchen where tastefully chosen cabinets and granite countertops produce ample storage and workspace. A well-appointed array of appliances includes a range cooker, dishwasher and Quooker tap, and a stable door adds to the charm and character making it easy to step outside. A separate utility room, cloakroom and deep hallway wine cupboard complete the ground floor.
Adding to the sense of space, the sweeping staircase takes you past the delicate colours of tall stained glass windows up to the first floor where a large central hallway opens onto five bedrooms that provide an abundance of family and guest accommodation. Bay windows in the double aspect principal bedroom allow you to soak up the far-reaching views of the landscape from the comfort of your own bed. Stylish fitted wardrobes have an admirable amount of storage, and its first class en suite bathroom adds a contemporary twist to its period surroundings with a luxurious bath, walk-in rainfall shower and refined tile setting. The period cornicing and excellent flow of natural light are echoed in each of the additional bedrooms. Enviably sized, whilst one has more of those wonderful sash bay windows, they all share a modern family shower room and separate bathroom that offer every convenience for today's busy lifestyles.
Outside
Set back from the road in an elevated position that has a hugely secluded feel, the magnificent facade of The Hangers with its covered doorway, timbers and gables gives a truly enticing first impression, while its large private driveway and double garage have off-road parking for several vehicles.
Encompassed by the established greenery of mature hedging, trees and shrubs that lend colour and interest throughout the seasons, the well-maintained lawn, stone paved patio and raised decking create a lovely amount of outdoor space to entertain, for children to play or to simply sit back and relax with the weekend papers.
Beneath the high pitched roof of the garaging, a large loft space with lighting and power combines with a brick built outbuilding to proffer additional storage.
