Description
Southdown is believed to been one of the first houses to be built along this row of executive style homes and dates back to the 1930's, the property has been extended and upgraded over latter years and now provides a spacious family home with flexible living accommodation set in a delightful plot of 0.46 acres. As well as the main house, there is a large garage with a games room above, which could be developed further to provide annexe accommodation, perfect for multi-generational living or those working from home who would like an independent office space.
The property consists of five reception rooms, four double bedrooms and three bathrooms and enjoys mature and established gardens to both the front and rear of the house.
Accommodation
On the ground floor an enclosed porch opens into a central reception hall with parquet flooring and a guest cloakroom. The elegant sitting room features an impressive inglenook fireplace with built in seating area and log burning stove, this opens into the garden room with Canadian Douglas fir flooring and a solid roof, this room can be enjoyed all year round and opens directly onto the terrace. There is a second sitting room to the front of the house, this flexible room would make an ideal playroom, formal dining room or family room.
At the heart of the house is a large dining kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of classic country style cabinetry with complementary worktops, all built around a range cooker with two ovens and gas burner with hotplate. There is space and plumbing for all the usual appliances including two integral fridges and a freezer. Steps go down to a useful laundry area with plumbing for the washing machine. There is ample space for a family sized table and chairs and an arch to the dining area for more formal dining. The home office overlooks the front of the house.
From the reception hall there is a feature staircase with half landing and panoramic views across the garden. The master bedroom has been fitted with a comprehensive range of built in Hammonds furniture and boasts a generous en suite bathroom which opens onto a balcony, a real wow and spot to appreciate the gardens. The guest bedroom also has an en suite shower room whilst the other two bedrooms are serviced by the generous house bathroom.
Outside
Southdown stands well back from Prestwood Drive behind electric gates, the sweeping driveway is block paved providing parking for numerous vehicles. There is a large lawned fore garden with established beds and borders. An additional driveway runs to the side of the house to the double garage. There is a games room over the garage with both an internal and external staircase, as previously mentioned this could create additional accommodation to the main house.
The gardens to the rear are delightful, there is an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and plants including an impressive array of fruit trees and even a grapevine. There are several areas for al fresco dining and towards the rear of the garden the summer house has both power and light and offers a secluded spot to enjoy this lovely garden.
