Description - This substantial and hugely flexible family residence has been a cherished home to our clients for 23 years, and is now available with no onward chain. Constructed circa 1989, the house was first occupied by the developer of the cul-de-sac and therefore designed to his specification. Our clients have finished and furnished the property in their own style, and of particular note are the extremely well-appointed kitchen, and the extensive use of Spanish stone and Italian porcelain floor tiles throughout the ground floor. The expansive accommodation comprises seven bedrooms and four bathrooms or shower rooms in all, with versatile living space including dedicated sitting and dining rooms, as well as a large games room/gym which was created from the house's original indoor swimming pool suite. Surrounding the house are attractive, well-structured gardens offering different areas for interest and enjoyment, and there is a long, gated driveway and double garage to complete the picture.
Accommodation - The house is accessed into an entrance hall with tiled flooring and an elegant staircase to the first floor with a useful under-stairs store.
The ground floor accommodation can be briefly summarised as follows: a lovely, dual-aspect sitting room with patio doors to the front garden, centred around a stone fireplace housing a gas fire; a dedicated dining room with patio doors out to the Japanese-style rear garden; the well-appointed kitchen; the converted swimming pool, which has been covered over and now forms an enormous room with patio doors to the front, currently set up as a gym, play room and entertaining space, but which could be suited to use as a large family reception room, hobbies/games room, studio or workspace; a cloakroom and adjacent, standalone shower room, and; the triple-aspect conservatory overlooking the front gardens and entrance. The kitchen is equipped with an excellent range of farmhouse-style cupboards and cabinets, complete with a pull-out pantry-style drawer, large pots and pans cupboard, wine rack, and an integrated fridge and freezer, plus quartz composite worktops incorporating a 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink and drainer. There are integrated NEFF appliances, including a 4-ring gas hob and separate 2-ring induction hob with extractor over, two multi-function ovens and dishwasher, plus a Beko washing machine.
On the first floor are seven double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, including the master, which is a large, dual-aspect room with a stylish, fully tiled en-suite shower room, plus a separate, fully tiled bathroom with both a bath and a corner shower enclosure, and a sizeable walk-in linen cupboard.
Outside - The house is approached through an electric gated entrance, over a large tarmac drive. There are attractive, well-kept gardens to the front and side of the house, which have been thoughtfully structured and feature a productive vegetable garden, and a large, travertine-tiled patio, flanked and bordered with specimen shrubs, including camellias and a tree fern. The rear garden has been created with a strong Japanese influence, including being planted with several mature acers, and featuring both a patio seating area beneath a Japanese-style pergola and a hot tub set within its own pavilion. Set at the head of the driveway is a detached double garage with pitched overhead storage, power and lighting, and there is a large tandem carport to the side of the house. A further area of garden can be found opposite the property's gates, at the cul-de-sac's entrance.
