Nestling in the midst of 1.278 acres of grounds sits this beautiful extended residence. Built in the 1930s, the neo Tudor exterior is delightful with its black and white elevations, ivy covered brickwork, chimneystacks, leaded light style casement windows and the impressive Tudor style entrance porch. The property is approached through a five bar gate leading to a long drive, providing plenty of off road parking The front door opens into a hall with an understairs cupboard and wood flooring that flows through much of the ground floor. There is a study with built in shelving and a brick fireplace and next door is a family room with fitted cupboards, currently in use as a bedroom. A dining room with double doors to the elegant, dual aspect lounge provides a delightful formal entertainment area. The lounge includes a log burner and two pairs of French doors to the terrace. The kitchen and breakfast areas have been beautifully designed with a wide arch partially separating the breakfast area from the ‘working' area. The facilities include a Britannia range cooker and units housing upmarket appliances. There is access to the rear garden, an adjacent cloakroom and utility room. The galleried landing has access to a shower room, a family bathroom and five bedrooms. There is a large single and three doubles including one with fitted cupboards and another with a vaulted ceiling. While the main bedroom has an en suite bath/shower room. Outside the rear terrace is ideal for al fresco dining, while the lawns surrounded by trees and shrubs provide space for children to kick a ball or play ‘hide and seek' in the wooded copse. One of the outbuildings is ripe for conversion into an annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions, while the other could be upgraded to a bar/games room or offices.

What the Owner says:

This has been a wonderful family home for more than 30 years and during our time here we have enjoyed building the extension and creating the delightful kitchen/breakfast room. However, it is now time to downsize."
