House For Sale £1,400,000
This fabulous, detached house was built in the 1930s, and comes to the market for the first time in 40 years. Originally built on what was a double plot it has one of the largest gardens in the area, and sits on grounds of three-quarters of an acre. Having been well cared for, the house is perfectly suited to either a simple refurbishment or a more extensive remodeling programme (subject to necessary consents), creating a very impressive family home.
The accommodation in its current arrangement is generous with two reception rooms plus a dine-in kitchen, utility room, four double bedrooms, and a bathroom. From the front door, a large hallway with its access to all of the downstairs accommodation, spans the width of the house and has French doors to the rear garden. The main reception room is a fabulous size, lovely and light from the windows overlooking the front and double doors to the rear garden. Across the hallway is the second reception room, currently being used as a dining room, with another large window to the rear, and the original mid-century fireplace is a real focus. Both of these rooms have ample space for a good amount of freestanding furniture, and dining table and chairs.
The kitchen has extensive storage with many wall and base units and a generous amount of work surface, integrated appliances, and a pretty outlook to the front, as well as space for casual dining. There is a door into the utility room that houses the laundry facilities, further storage, and a backdoor to the rear garden.
A large, wide landing on the first floor with a large picture window leads to the four double bedrooms and bathroom. The master bedroom overlooks the rear and is a great size, and includes a good range of fitted cupboards and a sink. The family bathroom features a separate shower and bath, with two separate toilets in separate rooms. The landing also has access to the loft, which is partboarded and covers the entire span of the house, making it ideal for converting to add further accommodation.
The rear garden is very private and generous. It can be accessed from different points in the house, with the rear of the house flanked with the stone terrace. Occupying a very large plot and much beloved by the previous owners, it has been formed into a number of large terraces, connected by steps and all featuring mature shrubs and bedding. There is also a shed, summerhouse, and greenhouse, and established planting either side affords complete seclusion. With its southerly aspect, it is flooded with sunshine throughout the day. The house also benefits from access to the private Culverden Park, which is only a privilege for a small number of properties on the surrounding roads.
