An exceptional family home offering wonderful accommodation, with five bedrooms, four reception rooms and the most beautiful garden all set within a generous plot behind electric gates, a short walk from Charlton Kings

Description
A substantial and particularly striking family home on this sought after road within a short stroll from both the village of Charlton Kings and the well regarded Balcarras school. The current owners have extended and re-modelled the house which now offers lateral accommodation of over 3200 square feet.

An entrance porch opens up to the large reception hall with a ‘concealed’ cloakroom fitted with a modern suite and useful understairs storage. The floorplan has been designed for a large family to all have space with a room for every eventuality. To the front of the house is a more formal sitting room with a wide bay window and fireplace. To the rear, designed to overlook the gardens, is the exceptional kitchen/dining and family room with full bi fold doors opening to the south facing terrace and garden beyond. Extending to over 30’ft, the kitchen itself is of the highest quality, fitted with a range of modern, flush units under Silestone worktops and integrated appliances including a hot water tap, Bosch double oven and dishwasher, drinks fridge and Neff induction hob. A large island divides the space to a lovely area ideal for sofas and seating with zoned underfloor heating running underfoot. Along the side of the house, in line with the kitchen, is a formal dining room opening to a garden room, a stunning living area with a ceiling lantern and two sets of bi fold doors, allowing the entire rear elevation to open up to the rear gardens,

The first floor landing is a generous space with two double fitted wardrobes and accesses to the loft storage space. When re-modelling and extending the property, the owners wanted to create a very special main bedroom and this suite is arranged as a large double bedroom with wide bay window to the front and fireplace, leading into a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a contemporary suite comprising a free standing bath, double walk in shower, w.c. and twin wash hand basins on a four drawer vanity unit. There is a fitted cupboard, dual aspect windows and underfloor heating.

Four further double bedrooms are served by an en-suite to bedroom two and a large luxury shower room.

Outside
The plot and gardens are not only substantial; they are a complete joy. The rear garden faces south and as such, is the most beautiful area in which to entertain and perfect for family life enhanced by the seamless connection that merges the inside to the terrace and lawns. The entire plot feels private, set well back from the road with a large area to the front for parking and access to the garage behind electric gates. Within the rear garden is a home office, fully insulated with power and light, this could also be used as a gymnasium or therapy room.
