DESCRIPTION
Heronsgate is a charming and substantial detached house which occupies a generous plot of around 0.6 of an acre providing an idyllic setting, a haven of peace and tranquillity, backing directly onto and enjoying views over the Royal Military Canal with its paddle boarding, rowing and wildlife. The house, has been home to the current owners for some forty years. During their ownership they have maintained the property beautifully and have made many improvements, not least of all a carefully planned extension which has significantly enhanced the accommodation.
The accommodation is of particularly comfortable proportions, exudes charm and character throughout and is currently arranged to provide a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting room with its cosy wood burning stove and views over the canal, dining room, also with a wood burner, open plan to the kitchen/breakfast room and leading to the conservatory. There is also a study, utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and separate w.c., the principal bedroom with dressing room, en-suite shower room and balcony overlooking the canal.
The gardens are an absolute delight with mature, well considered planting schemes, developed over forty years, affording a great deal of privacy to the setting and creating a particularly special environment for alfresco entertaining. There is a detached double garage, ample on site parking and outbuildings including a garden room. It is also thought that there may be some potential for the development of an additional dwelling (subject to relevant consents and approvals being obtained).
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
