House For Sale £1,000,000
Period style detached modern house with potential annexe and studio adjoining open countryside in a convenient and sought-after village
Description
Larkfield is a substantial detached house which is tucked away towards the edge of the village backing onto farmland. We understand that the property was originally built by the owner of a local reclamation yard back in 1980, as a result, it was built of reclaimed brick elevations beneath a tiled roof and contains many reclaimed fittings such as an impressive front door, a carved newel post, substantial internal wooden doors and pair of part glazed doors that separate the drawing room from the spacious hallway. The first of the two receptions rooms is double aspect with a bay window fitted with window seats overlooking the rear garden and a feature wall of exposed brickwork incorporating a woodburner, also visible in the adjoining dining room which has a log store niche and double doors to the rear terrace. This leads into the spacious L-shaped kitchen, fitted with a range of floor and wall units, cupboards and drawers with a range of integrated Siemens appliances including a four ring induction hob, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. In addition there is a breakfast bar, space for a breakfast table and a fitted fridge/freezer. The utility room provides further storage, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a part glazed side door. There is also a shower/cloakroom and a coat cupboard with door to the side terrace from the entrance hall. On the first floor, there is a part vaulted landing with airing cupboard. Most of the bedrooms have dormer windows and benefit from built in wardrobes, the main of which has an en suite shower room and the smallest is used as a study. The family bathroom is fitted with a tile sided bath with shower over.
Separate from the house is a detached double garage with a side access door to the rear providing separate access to a small lobby with adjoining bathroom and a staircase rising to a part vaulted annexe with a round window at the far end and a sink unit with cupboards. There is an indoor swimming pool to the south west of the house, covered with raised flooring and is being used as a studio with views over the adjoining farmland. The original twin shower/changing room is still in situ together with a WC and former pump room as well as a sauna (not used). A large parking area leads up to the front of the house and to one side is an enclosed partly walled area behind some mature sycamore trees, with to one end of this area leading into the rest of the mature garden. It has a seating and barbeque area in one corner and a terrace runs along the rear elevation of the house.
