Church End Close is a home that encapsulates the art of mixing old with new, thoughtfully designed over three floors to the highest of specifications. The entrance porch leads into a hallway featuring stud work opening into the music room and then onto a charming snug/library. There is a separate sitting room and off the hallway, steps lead down to a lower-floor utility and cloakroom. At the heart of the home is a beautiful kitchen/breakfast/family room that spreads across the rear of the original cottage. The open-plan space features Egyptian flagstone flooring, a bespoke kitchen with an island, and built-in appliances including an entertaining bar and gas-fired Aga. Large doors and windows open onto the rear garden creating a naturally bright reception area. The breakfast/dining area also has a vaulted ceiling and a mezzanine study area. The whole of the ground floor benefits from engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating.
Off the hallway a staircase leads to a first-floor landing with doors opening onto a terrace overlooking the landscaped gardens. The first floor includes three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Further stairs lead to the principal suite with a dressing area and en suite shower room. A separate self-contained annex has a kitchenette/living area and a door leading upstairs to a bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling.
Outside, the property is accessed via wrought iron electric gates onto a driveway. To the side of the house is a 1 1/2 cart lodge barn-style garage which includes a gym with full light and power. The rear, south facing, garden has a number of well-thought-out areas with walkways and raised beds to a Victorian-style greenhouse, lawn and sunken fire-pit beyond.
A detached pool house stands at the end of the garden with bi-fold doors, a swimming pool with corner jacuzzi, a kitchen and changing rooms with showers as well as an open shower and cloakroom poolside.
