House For Sale £1,200,000
Overlands is an impressive family home set within sought after Selling Court, a rurally situated and peaceful development in this popular village. With its stylish, contemporary design, the house was comprehensively refurbished and remodelled by the current owners in 2007 and offers well-appointed, light filled accommodation.
The versatile accommodation on the ground floor is arranged either side of a central hallway with a cloakroom to the rear. The house is very well off for reception space, which provides both formal and more relaxed areas. The large drawing room is the full depth of the house being double aspect with French doors to the rear; a fireplace provides an elegant focal point. Beyond is a relaxed sitting room, which leads to a useful study again with doors to the garden. A formal dining room to the opposite side of the reception hall has French doors to a delightful side terrace and provides an excellent setting for family gatherings and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with neat cabinetry arranged around a central island, topped with quartz work surfaces. A loosely open plan arrangement links the kitchen to a stylish vaulted breakfast room with tall windows looking to the garden.
The well-presented accommodation continues on the first floor, where the principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and an en suite bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. The guest bedroom enjoys a similarly generous en suite. There are three further bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and served by a family bathroom.
Overlands is set well back in its plot, with a paved driveway leading to plenty of parking in front of the house and double garage. Mature shrubs and hedges frame the approach.
The gardens at Overlands are as much a part of the lifestyle offered by this home as the house itself. To the rear, the garden has been landscaped with entertainment and enjoyment in mind. Raised decks and a marble terrace provide a fantastic dining and sitting area. A rill passes across the terrace cascading down into a long pool at a lower level and continuing across the lawn. A run of steps leads down to the lawn where defined edges form geometric patterns and borders are filled with a mix of topiary spheres and colourful, architectural shrubs and perennial plants.
In addition a secluded, paved terrace with decorative bamboo surround creates an attractive feature to the side of the house adjacent to the dining room.
