Floor Plan
The property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample off-street parking and leading to the tandem garage. A pathway through the attractive front garden leads to the front door and opens into a vestibule and welcoming reception hall. A staircase rises to the first floor, while a large bay window floods the hall with natural morning light.
To the front of the property is an elegant drawing room overlooking the garden. A large bay window incorporates a built-in seating area and a gas fireplace creates a warm focal point. The drawing room flows naturally into the formal dining room, which enjoys direct access to the side garden and gazebo, making it ideal for entertaining.
The sitting room is a wonderfully comfortable living space centred around an attractive gas fireplace. A west-facing bay window captures afternoon and evening sunshine, while direct access is provided to the Mozolowski & Murray garden room. With bi-folding doors opening onto the garden, this room creates a seamless connection between the house and its outdoor surroundings and provides an additional reception space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed and arranged around a central island, providing an excellent hub for day-to-day family life. Off the kitchen is a useful pantry cupboard, while the adjoining utility room serves equally well as a boot room and offers excellent storage together with space for laundry appliances. A separate study provides useful home-working accommodation.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A second generous double bedroom (complete with en suite shower room) to the front of the house also benefits from a dual aspect and attractive outlooks. While three additional double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate WC.
Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of the property. Immaculately maintained and exceptionally private, they provide colour and interest throughout the year with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and planting. Several seating areas have been carefully positioned to take advantage of the sun as it moves around the property from morning through to evening.
A charming summer house is tucked away within the garden and provides a peaceful retreat, while a useful dry store beneath the house offers excellent storage for outdoor equipment, golf clubs and sporting gear. The tandem garage is in excellent condition and benefits from power and lighting.
