The Property
High Trees is an exceptionally spacious family home designed to create a highly adaptable layout with the emphasis on space and natural light. A partially vaulted reception hall is lit by skylights from the galleried landing above and leads to the principal sitting room which is over 20 ft in length and has double doors opening onto the terrace and garden. Four additional reception rooms have been arranged around the kitchen creating a light, central living area which has an open plan feel but at the same time allows the rooms to be used separately. Directly off the kitchen is a south facing dining room with vaulted ceiling, skylights and bi-folding doors opening onto the garden and terrace. Immediately alongside is a dual aspect garden room with further bi-folding doors onto the garden, in turn this opens onto an adjacent home office/playroom.
The kitchen has sleek, matching cupboards providing generous storage together with hardwood worksurfaces and breakfast bar. A good range of appliances include a Stoves range style cooker, dishwasher and wine cooler. A separate utility room with stainless steel worksurfaces and double sink could provide additional kitchen space if required.
Immediately adjacent lies a spacious family room of over 24 ft in length with double doors onto the garden.
To the north of the family room lies a wing which currently provides two good ground floor bedroom suites each with their own well-appointed shower rooms. The larger of the two bedrooms has double doors onto the garden. Either of these suites could be used as a home gym or an additional study/home office if required.
The annexe has a modern open-plan kitchen/living area with all integrated appliances and understairs storage. A staircase leads to a dressing area or workspace, with adjoining shower room and spacious bedroom.
On the first floor the principal landing leads to three bedroom suites including an impressive principal bedroom suite which has a 19 ft long bedroom, large dressing room and bathroom with freestanding bath, twin wash hand basins and walk-in open sided shower. Two further bedroom suites have their own bathroom or shower room whilst the larger of these bedrooms has double doors opening onto a south facing decked roof terrace. Stairs from the main landing lead to a lantern light loft room. On the eastern side of the house a separate stair case accessed from either the family room or home office/playroom leads to a spacious separate guest suite with its own landing, dressing room and bathroom. This bedroom also has double doors opening onto a decked roof terrace.
Outside
Double gates on brick piers open onto a brick paviour set driveway and approach providing generous parking to the north of the main house. The surrounding gardens are predominantly east, south and west, whilst the well-established hedging and mature trees ensure plenty of privacy. Doors from the garden room, dining room and sitting room open south onto sheltered terraces looking out over lawns and well-stocked borders planted with a wide variety of shrubs, perennials and architectural plants designed to provide colour and interest throughout the year. To the eastern side of the house lies the hard tennis court.
