House For Sale £1,500,000
Built in 1956 on the site of a former dwelling, Willowbrook House is an attractive detached brick-built house under a tiled roof with cast iron guttering and downspouts, situated in an enviable position.
The property was constructed to a high standard using the very best of the position to enjoy maximum sunshine and the views. The property has been upgraded, fitted and decorated in a contemporary style, with upvc double glazed windows and garden doors.
An ample open plan kitchen/breakfast/family space at the heart of the house with a modern fitted kitchen, black granite tops, integrated appliances, an island unit with breakfast bar, and windows to front and rear. Ceramic tiled floor. The accommodation is enhanced by fine timber case leaded windows with brass furniture, coved cornicing, moulded skirtings and architraves to principal rooms.
The ground floor internal doors have bevel-edged glazed panes. Principal rooms radiate off the reception hall. Fine drawing room with raised recessed contemporary-style fire. The garden room has a tiled floor, leaded double-glazed windows and French doors facing south and east, catching the very best of the sun. From the kitchen, a door leads to the informal part of the house with a study with a door to the outside, a utility room with plumbing for the washing machine and dryer and an oil-fired boiler. The sitting room leads to a double-glazed conservatory, which takes full advantage of the delightful gardens with fan and French doors to the patio. An integral double garage has two up-and-over doors and a freezer room beyond.
A staircase in the reception hall with carved bannisters and hardwood handrail rises to a landing, off which is the principal bedroom with fitted furniture, beautiful views, French doors to a large balcony with paved floor and wrought iron balustrade and en suite bathroom with separate shower. Further double bedroom three and family bathroom. A study area opens to a further shower room and passageway to bedroom four with a built-in wardrobe and vaulted double bedroom two with windows to the front and rear and fitted wardrobes.
The gardens surrounding Willowbrook House are a delight. Approached by a tarmacadam drive and parking area with an ornate wrought iron gate, the drive has lawns to either side with mature trees and shrubs and dry stone wall-faced retaining walls. The house is adorned with creeper, wisteria, and honeysuckle to the rear. There is a wrought iron park railing and an evergreen hedge to the road frontage. The garden is bounded on two sides by a clipped laurel hedge with fencing behind. The rear garden incorporates expansive lawns and shrubs, herbaceous and bulb borders, and a paved patio. Mature trees include evergreens, spruce, ash, larch, cedar, pine, lilac and beech. Behind a beech hedge are mature fruit trees and a vegetable garden with a greenhouse. Secure mower garage and garden stores.
The garden flows into a paddock with a pond with an illuminated fountain and a sitting area, which forms the focal point of the views down the garden. An adjoining byway gives excellent access to rides and walks over the surrounding countryside.
