Description
Understood to have been built approximately forty years ago of traditional red brick construction beneath a tiled roof line, this exceptional family home possesses a most light and airy atmosphere whilst displaying many high quality features throughout. In more recent years the property has been significantly improved and extended and now results in a wonderful home of much personality with particularly spacious accommodation currently in brief comprising; elegant columned entrance with traditional panelled entrance door opening to a stunning reception hall with fabulous ceiling height and galleried landing. There is an impressive drawing room with fireplace and French doors opening to a further large reception room overlooking the gardens. The kitchen breakfast room is fitted with a quality Smith and Wareham kitchen and is extremely well equipped with integrated appliances. There is a utility room containing the gas fired boiler and with door to the side hall / boot room which in turn leads to an impressive games room with adjoining cloakroom. It is thought that the games room may provide potential for an annexe with kitchen area if required. There is a further cloakroom adjacent to the reception hall.
On the first floor, the galleried landing leads to the master bedroom suite with dressing room, bedroom and en-suite shower room with twin wash basins. There are three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and en-suite bathroom, both of which have been recently upgraded.
The property is approached along an extensive driveway providing a substantial level of vehicle parking and turning space with access to the detached double garaging with power and lighting connected. Side access leads to the superb rear gardens extending to approximately two thirds of an acre (s.t.s) which are a particular feature of the property with formal lawned gardens interspersed by flower beds, a vegetable garden, flowering plants, shrubs and a magnificent Cedar tree. Adjoining the rear of the house is a large paved terrace providing a pleasant seating area overlooking the gardens.
