House For Sale £1,295,000
Spacious and well-presented modern family home in a central yet tucked away position.
Description
Built in 2007,7 Allington Place is a well-presented modern family home tucked away in a small private close in the heart of Newick. The house’s attractive traditional Sussex style façade of brick, part tile-hung and part timbered elevations belies a generously proportioned and spacious interior, extending to an impressive 2,682 square feet and having a particularly pleasing flow between the main living spaces. The house benefits from replacement triple-glazing to the majority of the windows, and decorative points of note including radiator covers, a neutral colour pallete and modern bathroom suites.
The front door opens from an enclosed porch to elegant and welcoming entrance hall, around which the majority of the ground floor accommodation lies; a turned staircase rises to the first floor. There are two large formal reception rooms lying off the hall: A dining room, and a sunny dual-aspect sitting room with a limestone fireplace and inset electric fire as its focal-point, and French doors opening to the garden. Also lying off the hall is a cloakroom and a study, fitted with a desk and bookshelving and a discreet lift to the first floor.
The open plan family room and kitchen is an ideal space for day to day family life, the versatile family room offering ample space for a breakfast table and sofas, and with French doors to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of beech-effect units, complemented by black granite worktops, a tiled floor and a number of integrated appliances; the kitchen is served by a useful utility room with space for laundry appliances.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor arranged around a galleried landing, all with built in or fitted storage. The principal bedroom has French doors with a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and offering glimpses of the South Downs on the horizon, as well as a large and recently re-fitted en suite bathroom with suite including twin basins and a wet-room style shower. The guest bedroom (bedroom two) also benefits from an en suite shower room; the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle.
<b>Outside</b>
7 Allington Place is approached from the close via a generous block-paved driveway offering ample space for four cars. The detached double garage is a newer addition to the house (2009) and has been built to a particularly high standard, with a roof lantern, twin electronically operated roller doors and an air conditioning unit.
There is gated access to the rear garden to the western side of the house, where there is also a timber storage shed and small paved terrace. The south-facing rear garden is private and well-enclosed, with a terrace lying adjacent to the house over which is a large retractable awning; an expanse of level lawn extends away from the house, edged and dotted with beautifully tended and colourful flower and shrub beds, with a small ornamental pond in one corner. A gate opens to a narrow strip of further land, screened by fencing and mature trees and ideal for garden waste and storage.
<b>Agent’s Note</b>
There is lapsed planning permission for a single-storey extension to the west of the house to create a ground floor wet room, allowing the potential for the dining room to used as a ground floor bedroom suite. Planning ref: Lw/18/2057.
