House For Sale £1,750,000
Well presented, extended family home situated on a mature 0.45 acre plot in a most sought after private road.
Description
Macrae is a traditional family home built in the 1920’s with later extensions, once believed to have been the home of the well know suffragette Alice Margaret Wright who wrote about how she joined the movement made famous by Emily Pankhurst. There is a wonderful first impression on arrival from the outstanding position at the end of a long private drive with lovely far reaching views across fields and countryside.
The ground floor layout, with original features such as the wood panelling in the hall and staircase, provides three reception rooms, a sitting room and formal dining room both triple aspect with feature fireplaces, plus a family room with fitted display shelves incorporating screened radiators. The last room connects to the superb ‘Martin Moore’ fitted kitchen/breakfast room, the heart of the house with an extensive range of bespoke units, an original dresser, serving hatch and granite worktops with large island. Built-in Miele appliances include an induction hob, extractor fan, oven, warming drawers, microwave and integrated fridge and separate freezer. This room is flooded by natural light from a roof lantern and French doors.
The first floor, currently with three bedrooms and a study, has two bathrooms including one of pure indulgence which is the largest room and could be remodelled to create an excellent principal bedroom suite.
Undoubtedly one of the main features is the glorious plot of about 0.45 acre which includes the long private drive flanked on both sides by high laurel and beech hedges, which then opens on to a parking and turning space in front of the house. The gardens include areas of lawns with flower and shrub beds, including rhododendrons, mature oak trees and an idyllic terrace with feature brick arched wall providing outstanding views over the adjoining field with far reaching views beyond – a truly wonderful space for relaxation and al fresco entertaining.
