Description
THE PROPERTY
This superb family home was originally built in the 1930s with subsequent sympathetic extensions in more recent times.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall linking to a double aspect living room to one side and a large, double aspect sitting room to the other. The sitting room sits open to a double aspect games room, with all three of these rooms featuring French doors opening out onto the side and rear aspects.
The kitchen has been completely rebuilt and features a styling range of fitted units and appliances, including twin electric ovens, a gas hob, an American-style fridge/freezer and a drinks cooler. There is a breakfast bar and a separate area for a large dining table.
Further rooms to this level include a conservatory/garden room and a cloakroom set off the hallway.
To the first floor, a landing area provides access to the double aspect, principal bedroom with separate dressing area and en-suite shower room and a guest bedroom with an en-suite shower room. There are three other bedrooms to this level, which are served by a modern, family bathroom. The bathrooms have been re-tiled and fitted with new power showers.

The annexe offers options for a variety of uses including guest accommodation or additional income (subject to the relevant consents being granted).
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway set between a brick pillared entrance leading down to a gravel parking area offering off road parking for numerous vehicles and access to a large outbuilding comprising an annexe and an integral garage.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn. A large terrace extends across the rear of the house with an attractive water feature and outdoor lighting. A large area to the side features a fully fenced tennis court and there are also numerous mature oaks and other trees at the front.
Set across the lane from the property is an additional area of woodland, which is included in the title of the property.
