Additional Information - Oak Tree House is a well-appointed family house that has been rigorously maintained over the last twenty years and recently updated. Along with high quality kitchen and bathroom fittings there are radiator covers, recently fitted wooden louvre shutters and solid oak floorboards to much of the ground floor.

A large central reception and staircase hall gives access to a cloakroom/wc, study and the principal rooms of the house. Double doors open to the sitting room with its two tall windows facing the drive and recessed cupboards with shelving beside the elegantly covered fireplace (chimney intact). The kitchen/breakfast/family room is a large L-shaped space at the heart of the house providing ample space for a comfortable sitting area. The fitted kitchen has a breakfast bar, and there are granite worktops, SMEG integrated appliances, a 1? bowl sink below a west facing window and a large utility room alongside. This room is open to the conservatory, currently used as an all-year dining room, connecting to the barbeque terrace and offering fine views out across the garden. On the ground floor of the northern wing is a versatile room currently used as a gym flanked by a dog room with an external door and a 17 ft long garden store connecting to the front drive.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms, one with an en suite, and a house bathroom that includes a shower above the bath and heated towel rail, all arranged around a central landing. The guest bedroom suite enjoys far-reaching views facing west across the garden. All bedrooms are doubles and two have fitted recessed wardrobes. Also on the first floor is the spectacular 21 ft cinema room with dormer windows facing the garden, created by an interior designer in 2018. On the top/second floor is the principal bedroom suite, fitted with skylights and eaves storage, his & hers dressing rooms and a stylish contemporary wet room. One of the dressing rooms is large enough to be a sixth bedroom.

Outside - The house is set behind a low brick wall with brick pillars and cast-iron railings behind which lies a gravelled drive, flanked by mature shrubs, providing parking for up to five cars. The original electric garage doors give access to the large garden store, and two secure garden gates lie either side of the house. At the rear, a paved garden terrace, bounded by a low brick wall, provides a sheltered south facing space connecting by double doors to the conservatory. The garden is a private space, predominantly lawned and bounded by high hedgerows providing screening from neighbours. At the far end, a gate opens to a field, level and enclosed by deer-proof fencing and hedges. A shared drive from Bradley Lane culminates at a five-bar gate, the rear entrance to Oak Tree House. This continues to a further gate giving access to a large paddock bounded by post and rail fencing and lined with hedges on two sides. A public bridle path crosses a stile and passes through the far end of the paddock, providing an alternative route to the village.
