DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Main House – Ground Floor
Upon entering through the front door, the property immediately impresses with its generous proportions and 1930s character. The elegant reception room features a bay window flooding the space with natural light, soaring ceilings creating a sense of grandeur, and a feature fireplace providing a charming focal point perfect for family gatherings.
The separate dining room offers excellent entertaining space and flows seamlessly into a bright conservatory. French doors from the conservatory open directly onto the south-facing landscaped rear garden, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor connection ideal for summer entertaining. The generously proportioned kitchen provides practical family living space with convenient rear door access to the garden, facilitating easy outdoor dining and allowing natural supervision of children at play.
Main House – First Floor
The first floor accommodation comprises three well-appointed double bedrooms. The principal suite represents a particular highlight, offering a spacious retreat complete with fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage, a modern en-suite bathroom, and the rare benefit of access to a private roof terrace enjoying double-aspect views. The roof terrace is structurally sound and presents an exciting opportunity for the new owners to enclose and transform into a spectacular private sanctuary, subject to obtaining necessary consents.
Two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, provide flexible accommodation suitable for family members or guests. These rooms are complemented by a contemporary three-piece family bathroom finished to a high standard.
The Self-Contained Annexe
A standout feature of this property is the self-contained annexe, which benefits from full planning permission and is accessed via its own private entrance from the garden. This versatile space has been thoughtfully designed to provide complete independence whilst remaining connected to the main house.
The annexe comprises a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a modern fitted kitchen, a comfortable reception room, and a stylish family bathroom featuring contemporary grey tiling. This flexible accommodation presents numerous possibilities: ideal for multi-generational family living, providing independence for adult children or elderly relatives; creating a private guest suite; or generating rental income as a self-contained unit.
Outside Space
The south-facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a private outdoor retreat. Featuring manicured lawns, established borders, and a generous patio area, the garden provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. The sunny southerly aspect ensures excellent natural light throughout the day and creates a wonderful sun-trap for outdoor relaxation.
To the front, the property benefits from an exceptionally generous block-paved driveway with off-street parking for up to eight vehicles—a rare and highly desirable feature in this sought-after location, providing ample space for multiple cars, visitors, and additional recreational vehicles.
