House For Sale £1,450,000
A rare opportunity to acquire a handsome bay fronted Victorian house, lovingly extended and improved, offering beautifully presented accommodation over three floors, boasting a fabulous position located right in the heart of the village
The property occupies a fabulous position located right in the heart of this highly sought after and thriving village with the amenities, primary school and recreation ground all on the doorstep. This beautiful period house over the years and in more recent times, has been subject to a program of expansion and continuous improvement, yet great care has been taken to preserve the original integrity, charm and character of the home. This deceptively spacious family home has generous accommodation arranged over three floors and extends to about 2500 sqft and has double glazing throughout. The gardens and grounds are both mature and private and boast an external home office/studio, perfect for those working from home or pursuing a hobby.
In detail, the accommodation comprises an entrance portico with panelled front door with stained glass light box above, providing access to a welcoming reception hall with chequerboard flooring, ornate cornicing, picture rail, dado rail, ceiling rose and decorative moulded archway. Stairs rise to the first-floor accommodation and off the inner hallway are bespoke fitted storage cupboards for coats and shoes, and a door through to the living room. Immediately off the reception hall is a bay windowed drawing room, an elegantly proportioned room with tall ceilings, large sash windows and attractive cornicing, ceiling rose, picture rail and a beautiful Victorian style fireplace with fitted book shelving and storage cupboards on either side of the chimney breast. The kitchen/dining room is very much the heart of this beautiful home and an excellent family space, fitted with attractive bespoke cabinetry, ample granite working surfaces and splashbacks with inset ceramic double sink unit with integral refuse, space for dishwasher and a Rangemaster Leisure stove with extractor over. The kitchen further boasts a walk in pantry, French doors to the garden and attractive ceramic tiled flooring. Just off is a handy utility/boot room with stable door to garden, space for the usual white goods, plus space for an American style fridge/freezer and a recently installed wall mounted gas combination boiler (2019). Furthermore, the ground floor also consists of a living room which flows beautifully off the kitchen area, with engineered oak flooring, door to the inner hallway and door to the study, again with oak flooring and bespoke office furniture including fitted book shelving and storage cupboards. The family room is an extremely versatile room, making an ideal secondary office, playroom, or bedroom, with a cloakroom off.
Upstairs, off the split level landing are four good sized bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes and three with en suite facilities, plus a large luxury family bathroom with jacuzzi bath with separate shower which interlinks with bedroom 3 (see floorplan). The second floor makes an ideal teenager/au pair space and consists of a bedroom, study/tv space fitted by Neville Johnson, and a cloakroom wc.
Outside, the front garden is enclosed by walling with a block paved driveway to the side providing parking. Gated access leads to the rear garden which has recently been landscaped and laid mainly to shaped and well maintained lawns with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds, a selection of trees and bushes, timber decked terrace ideal for al fresco dining. A block paved pathway leads to a further paved terrace with pergola over, with the pathway continuing on to the home office/hobby room which has its own decked patio, power and light, fitted storage cupboards, and electric panel heater. The garden is enclosed by fencing and enjoys good levels of privacy.
