House For Sale £1,350,000
Oak Leaf House is a truly beautiful, five-bedroom detached family home, built in 2008 and set on a private lane within walking distance to Maresfield village. The property offers light and spacious family accommodation throughout with a versatile layout, large wrap around secluded garden, and off- street parking for several vehicles. Meticulously designed and arranged over just two floors, giving a perfect balance of living and sleeping accommodation for family life.
The property offers over 3,500 square feet of modern accommodation, with oak flooring through most of the ground floor, oak internal doors, a stylish contemporary kitchen with island and large windows all offering glorious light and views of the gardens beyond.
Entry to Oak Leaf House is via a covered portico into a generous entrance hall, off which lies a downstairs cloakroom and the formal reception rooms. There is a large double aspect sitting room with a raised Portland stone fireplace and a garden room, part vaulted, with bifold doors across one expanse of wall opening onto the garden terrace. The kitchen is a particular feature of the property, with a large preparation island, fitted with a range of stylish Siematic matt white and wood units, black granite worktops, a range of Miele appliances and generous spaces for informal family life with sofa areas and a curved dining space.
Off the kitchen there is a boot room with shelved larder cupboard, leading to a study and inner hall, off which is a separate utility. A spiral staircase in this inner hall leads up to the home office or guest bedroom and bathroom, which is an ideal space for working from home or could be turned into a separate self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary planning consents.
On the first floor of the house there are four bedrooms, the principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a large en-suite bathroom, there are three remaining bedrooms served by a luxurious large family bathroom fitted with German designed taps and furniture, all located off the vaulted galleried landing.
Oak Leaf House is accessed from a private road through double five bar gates, which open onto a generous paved parking area lying to the front of the house and a double garage. There are a pair of double gates to the side of the property offering vehicular access to the side and rear gardens and possibly additional guest parking. The secluded garden wraps around the house and is mainly laid to lawn, with laurel hedges offering privacy, and a good-sized sunny sandstone terrace lying adjacent to the house.
