House For Sale £1,350,000
Property
An attractive and impressive residence dating from 1730 and scheduled as a building of architectural and historic interest. The original property was constructed of predominantly timber framing with horizontal painted timber weather boarding above brick and ragstone walls. The house was extended twice in the 1950s and 1960s and approximately tripled in size, whilst retaining the original character charm.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with a W.C. On the left hand side and stairs rising to the first floor. To the right-hand side is a generous double aspect sitting room, measuring 20 ft in length, which is bathed in natural light thanks to a large set of windows and french doors looking out over the wonderful garden. There is carpeted flooring and a gas fireplace with timber surround providing a nice focal point to the room.
The kitchen, which is situated in the original part of the building is fitted with a range of solid wood ‘shaker’ style wall and base units with a timber worktop over and tiled splashbacks. There is plenty of cupboard space and room for a breakfast table. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, 4 ring ceramic hob, extractor hood and microwave, with space for a dishwasher, undercounter fridge and freezer. Adjoining the kitchen is the large dining room, which features exposed beams and is ideal for formal entertaining. Double doors lead out into the elegant orangery which provides a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the garden all year around. The character of the building is in full display with exposed brick and weatherboarding and solid wood floors. The study is accessed from the orangery and is an ideal space to work from home and has an adjoining utility room with basin and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to 4 double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom suite is particularly spacious and benefits from fitted wardrobes and views of The Vine Cricket Ground. There is a large dressing room and ensuite bathroom with additional free standing shower. The other bedrooms are all good sized rooms and Bedroom 2 boasts triple aspect windows and an ensuite shower room. The family bathroom has been finished in a period style with a white suite including panelled bath, and pedestal basin with a separate W.C. Across the landing.
All mains services are connected to the building and there are currently 2 gas boilers that provide heating and hot water.
Outside
The property is positioned at the end of the prestigious Park Lane, which is a quiet residential road. To the front of the property are two large flower beds filled with a selection of attractive plants including red roses with a ironstone pathway that leads to the main entrance door. On the right hand side of the building there is an integral garage with an up and over door that can accommodate one large vehicle. A set of gates provide access into the garden and also leads to a further secured parking space. Over on the left hand side of the building there remains the old coach door which leads through to the grounds of the neighbouring property.
The delightful back garden is fully enclosed with attractive brick and stone walls surrounding the boundary. It is a real sun trap being south west facing and features well stocked beds filled with a wide variety herbaceous shrubs and flowering plants. To the immediate rear of the house is a brick paved patio which is accessible from the main sitting room, hallway and the orangery.

There is a good sized area of lawn with plenty of space for children to play and a greenhouse for those who enjoy cultivating their own plants.
