House For Sale £1,300,000
A beautifully presented and spacious period house (3,189 sq ft), with lovely gardens of over half of an acre, swimming pool, detached double garage and potential to divide the plot and create a separate dwelling (STPP).
This charming property provides well presented and spacious accommodation, having taken great care to preserve the original character of the house with exposed period beams and feature fireplaces.
From the entrance hall, an impressive dining room with exposed inglenook fireplace leads directly through to the substantial kitchen/breakfast room (approx.26' in length) and conservatory. These two rooms are situated at the rear of the property, enjoying views of the garden, with the conservatory having direct access to the garden and terrace via French doors. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a formal sitting room with feature fireplace and snug area, a delightful garden room, cloakroom, study are, utility and laundry room.
On the first floor, the principle bedroom suite is located to the west of the house and benefits from a separate dressing room and large en suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and bathrooms (one partly en suite) are to the east and rear.
From the first floor landing, a staircase leads to the second floor which provides access to a sitting area extending to a bedroom, a bathroom and further bedroom.
Gardens
The beautifully maintained gardens and grounds are a particular feature, having been planted with a huge range of flowers and shrubs interspersed amongst the borders with large areas laid to lawn. Directly accessed from the conservatory and garden room is a large paved terrace overlooking the garden, ideal for al fresco dining, whilst an additional secluded area housing the swimming pool and further patio area, is great for summer entertaining.
Separate to the house is a detached double garage with driveway, allowing off street parking for several cars. A wooden gate gives access to the garden where, tucked away in a corner, is a wooden outbuilding (currently used as an office with light and power).
A further benefit, due to the substantial size of the garden, is the ability to potentially divide the plot to create a separate dwelling, subject to planning consent. *Interested buyers are required to make their own enquiries, in this regard.
