"A wonderfully generous family home in simply beautiful surroundings. This substantial five bedroom residence occupies a prestigious position, set back in extensive gardens, believed to be set in approximately 2/3rds of an acre, which offers a world of possibilities for family life"
Denise White's Comments - The residence is situated in a prime location within a private secluded setting of Lightwood Road, set well back behind gated gardens and is not visible from the road or neighbours, approached via a long driveway, providing ample parking for several cars and access to the double garage. The gardens are located to all sides of the property making your surroundings lush and green in all directions, well established with extensive lawned areas, shrubs and trees. The garden to the front could even lend itself to a residential development opportunity, subject to any necessary planning consents obtained.
The property is picture perfect with an elegant symmetry, this house certainly has plenty of kerb appeal. Stepping inside the spacious main entrance hall invites you to explore further with access to the ground floor accommodation and stairs off the first floor. There is also a separate staircase to the rear that leads to the principle bedroom suite and en-suite bathroom which could have its own access from the rear of the house if adapted slightly and subject to any consents obtained.
Starting with the breakfast kitchen which is situated at the rear of the house and is fitted with an extensive range of quality oak wall and base units and the necessary integrated appliances. There is ample space for a kitchen table making it ideal for informal lunches and breakfasts with family or friends. The utility room is nicely separate next door.
The main lounge is a most spacious room, it also feels homely with soft cream carpet underfoot and a beautiful marble fireplace. There are three windows to the front of the room making the area lovely and light. The lounge links through to a room at the rear and are divided by double doors, so they can be opened to create one sociable space when needed or could be adapted to a games room, study or a separate entrance to the rear of the house.
Offering a huge amount of flexibility, there is a second reception room which could be used in any number of ways. Sitting to the front of the house, this is another gloriously light room with a bay window looking out over the front garden. It is currently used as a snug/sitting room but could be utilised as a formal dining room if needed.
The ground floor cloakroom is a useful addition to a property of this size.
There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms in total. Split into two sides of the house with the principle bedroom having a separate staircase. The bedroom is generous and light, offering such a comfortable space with access to a modern en-suite shower facility. The further four bedrooms are accessed via the main staircase and all provide comfortable size bedroom accommodation with bedroom two having a en-suite shower and a most useful storage room off currently used as walk in wardrobe space. The family bathroom is fitted with a suite including a shower cubicle and a bath, perfect for family use.
The gardens start at the gated entrance with substantial lawned gardens alongside mature trees and shrubberies to each side of the driveway. The gardens to the rear are split into two sections with lawned space and hedging secluding a secret garden. Here you will find a good size, well maintained patio area sitting close to a delightful summer house. An ideal space for outside entertaining with barbecues and outside fire-pits. The summer house has a log stove making it ideal for use even in the colder months so can be used all year round and is a tranquil spot to sit and read, relax, meet friends or simply enjoy the glorious view over the gardens. There is a useful storage shed for all your gardening tools.
