Description
Argosy is an attractive detached property much improved and significantly extended to provide a substantial family home in excess of 5,000 sq ft.
The lower level side extension including the triple garage, has a separate entrance and could be adapted to become a self-contained annexe, if required.
As you enter via the porch and arched front door into the welcoming reception hall with galleried landing, there is a wonderful first sight of the rear garden as you look through the dining room with its delightful conservatory addition. The ground floor has a particularly spacious and adaptable layout which also includes a large lounge and games room together with the bay fronted reception area and TV room either side of the hall. As mentioned, the lower level side extension comprises two further evenly sized rooms with windows and skylights, one with an en suite shower room. A second staircase leads down to a separate entrance door to both the front and rear gardens as well as to a chilled wine store, gym and the garage.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with an extensive range of maple units with granite worktops and breakfast bar island. There is a gas fired Aga as well an integrated induction hob and microwave oven. There is plenty of space for informal family dining, flooded by natural light from the skylights above and the french doors which open on to the patio. Leading off the kitchen is a utility/boot room with a second cloakroom with shower cubicle.
The main staircase leads to the attractive galleried landing and the total of six bedrooms arranged over the two upper floors. The master bedroom has a contemporary en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower with body jets. There are also doors on to a balcony which overlooks the rear garden.
Bedroom two with its bay window overlooking the rear garden and bedroom three share a Jack & Jill en suite bathroom with a similarly well appointed family bathroom opposite the fourth bedroom. A staircase from the landing leads to the two top floor bedrooms and a further en suite shower room and bathroom. This floor provides ideal accommodation as a teenager or au pair suite for example.
An undoubted feature of Argosy is the plot of just over an acre providing beautifully laid out gardens. There are two entrances off Burtons Lane, both with attractive brick & flint walling one leading to the front of the main house where there is plenty of parking and turning space and the second leading to even more parking in front of the triple garage. Wide gates to the side provide access to the rear garden.
The spectacular rear garden has large areas of walled paved patio for relaxation and al fresco entertaining with steps and a pathway down to an area of level lawn and past a well established rose bed providing an abundance of colour. The pathway leads to the heated swimming pool with paved surround and an adjacent summer house with a changing room and plant room. Beyond the pool is an area of undulating lawn interspersed with specimen trees including acers, copper beech, liquid amber together with apple/plum/pear trees. The 'L' shape in the plot provides ideal space for the hard tennis court.
