Set off a private road, one of a select number of period style houses on the prestigious Amberfield Drive development.
Constructed in 2014 by the well reputed market leading developers Michael Howard Homes, Grafton House is one of a select number of elegant, period style modern houses built in the mature parkland grounds of the former Amberfield School.
With its sheltering woodland back drop, the house is nicely tucked away beyond the bows of mature oak and beech trees and presents handsome mellow brick elevations with deep sash windows, together with a distinctive sheltering canopy.
Within, the light, well laid out and well-proportioned accommodation extends to some 2,134 sq ft and features an entrance hall with oak flooring, set off which are well proportioned sitting and drawing rooms, which enjoy views over the garden. A 30 ft fully fitted bespoke kitchen has Silestone work surfaces, a long central island and is open plan into a vaulted garden room/breakfast room, which has French doors onto the rear terrace, whilst beyond the utility room there is access to an integral garage.
On the first floor set off an L-shaped landing are four bedrooms and two well-equipped luxury bathrooms.
The property has a mains gas fired central heating with underfloor heating to the ground floor.
OUTSIDE
Grafton House sits centrally in its one third of an acre plot. To the front a wide shingled driveway, flanked by lawned gardens, passes beneath the bows of mature beech and oak trees to a parking and turning circle to the front of the house providing access into the garage.
There is a further fenced off parking area to the side of the house with a gated access path leading round to a secure rear garden with its sheltering woodland backdrop beyond. There is a terrace and central lawn bordered by mature shrubs and an attractive cherry tree.
In all the property extends to about one third of an acre.
