5 bedroom detached house

A handsome and substantial detached property situated in a peaceful court in the village of Walderslade and occupying over a third of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens and extensive driveway.

Dale House has been built to an exceptionally high standard just 20 years ago by the current owners themselves, the 4000 sq.ft property has been intellectually designed using the highest degree of architecture, using the finest materials and delivering beautiful craftmanship throughout.

Every effort has been made to create an economically run home with good levels of insulation, new double-glazed windows, and energy efficient central heating system. Many aesthetic improvements have been made in recent years, including the installation of a bespoke granite topped kitchen and three luxury bathrooms.

The accommodation is spacious and versatile with the option to create an annexe or host a relative of the ground floor level.

The formal entrance brings one into a grand entrance hall, with attractive wood panelling and overlooked by the beautiful mezzanine landing accessed via the magnificent oak staircase. There are three elegant reception rooms that complement the open plan, triple aspect living room.

The kitchen has been beautifully designed offering curved lines, rich granite work tops, a large peninsula breakfast bar and an array of floor and wall units. High specification appliances have been integrated including a dishwasher, fridge freezer, double range cooker, microwave and Quooker boiling tap. The area is further enhanced by a dining and sitting area which over looks the nature filled garden via the French doors.

Beyond the family room there is a utility room and access to the double garage and driveway.

There are four bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor and has an ensuite shower room and walk-in dressing room.

To the first floor, there is a galleried landing that leads to three/four double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The main bedroom has splendid views of the garden and benefits from a dressing room and elegant ensuite. At the far east wing of the property a few steps descend into a spectacular games room, this is particularly large and could be divided to offer two bedrooms or adapted to create a self-contained annexe.
