6 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

OPEN HOUSE SAT 6th JULY 2:00pm-4:00pm

In the heart of the much-loved village of Hampton in Arden, on a leafy green cul-de-sac, Pear Tree House is a truly stunning double fronted late Victorian family home. Sympathetically extended and exquisitely presented, this delightful family home offers elegance and style in perfect harmony with period charm and character. Laid across three floors, it offers six double bedrooms, four luxury bathrooms, three beautiful reception rooms and a fabulous open plan breakfast kitchen and orangery. Outside is a large, detached garage, generous driveway and the private screened rear garden is an absolute delight, enjoying a south-westerly aspect and offering a wonderful haven of peace and tranquillity.

With an exceptionally wide and smartly landscaped frontage, this most elegant property has a charming checkerboard pathway with wide steps leading up to the grand front entrance adorned with a mature wisteria. Once inside, you immediately get a sense of the exquisite taste and high standard of décor throughout.

When the present owners purchased the property, they wanted to create an open-plan breakfast kitchen fit for the grandeur of this magnificent home. In doing so, it became the real “hub of the home” and is a masterpiece in both elegance and practicality. With a large glass lantern roof, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors, this beautiful orangery has become a favourite space for the family to relax, dine, and socialise. The Jerusalem Stone tiling contrasts beautifully with the tranquil muted blues on the walls and the crisp cream shades of the orangery, complemented by the handcrafted timeless quality of the cabinetry within the kitchen.

Offering the perfect balance between practicality and style, the kitchen has an excellent range of fitted appliances, with the Elan Rangemaster cooker taking centre stage. It has seven gas burners, two ovens, a grill, and a pan-warming drawer with a fully vented extractor above. There is also a Neff dishwasher, a Siemens built-in microwave, and a tall integrated larder fridge. The excellent range of wall and floor-mounted cabinetry includes pull-out larders, built-in spice cabinets, and ample drawer and cupboard storage. The beautiful hand-painted kitchen is further complemented by the luxurious solid marble countertops and upstands. The large central island creates a practical space for food preparation, featuring an inset stainless steel bowl and mixer tap. For more casual dining options, there are breakfast bar spaces at either end.

With property on just one side of Station Road and the railway cutting below eye level, Pear Tree House has a natural, unspoilt green backdrop enjoyed by both the drawing room and dining room. Both these spaces have an air of timeless elegance with their beautiful floor-to-ceiling feature bay windows, impressive original plasterwork, built-in display cabinetry and bookshelves in the drawing room, chic décor, and stylish inset real flame fireplaces in both rooms. Whether relaxing with friends and family or hosting special dining occasions, each of these rooms perfectly complements this family home. To the rear of the reception hall, through double oak doors, we find the sitting room. With its large sliding doors to the rear terraces and garden beyond, this space works throughout the seasons, creating a cosy snug during winter months and a cool retreat from the heat of summer to relax and enjoy, with its convenient electric awning outside.

Also accessed from the reception hall is the laundry room, housing the Vaillant boiler and providing space for the washing machine, along with further storage and a useful laundry sink with a mixer tap. Next to this is the smartly presented guest cloakroom, with stylish midnight blues contrasting with a classic white suite featuring a pedestal hand basin and WC. There is also an extremely useful and well-proportioned cellar with wide steps leading down, currently used as a storage and wine cellar.

Upstairs

Leading from the reception hall, the original staircase with its impressive oak handrail is softened with the warm undertones of the pale French grey wool carpet runner and stylish chrome stair rods, creating the perfect balance between contemporary and period. With a Jack & Jill bathroom, the present owners have created a stunning principal bedroom suite. The main bedroom is dual aspect, with a window to the property's frontage and fabulous floor-to-ceiling window panels and French doors leading to a lovely balcony with far-reaching views across open countryside. The smartly fitted plantation shutters enhance these beautiful windows further, creating a real sense of luxury throughout the home. The en suite features beautiful limestone tiling on the walls and floor, with a charming clawfoot bath adding a sense of nostalgic charm. There is also a pedestal hand basin and a low-level WC.

Through two tall wardrobe-style doors, you enter the large dressing room dedicated to the principal suite, with built-in wardrobes on one side and dual aspect windows offering ample natural light. Both bedrooms are decorated in delicate pale grey and white wall coverings, matching perfectly with the plush wool carpet, creating a fresh, light, and airy feel to the suite. There are two further double guest bedrooms, both beautifully dressed and presented, each with its own en suite bathroom. The wide carpeted staircase leads up to the second floor, with a landing leading to a small storage room and a useful original sewing room.

There are two further large double bedrooms on the top floor, one presently used as an impressive office with superb built-in cabinetry, shelving, and bookcases. This room features two lovely windows and ample space for large bedroom furniture if desired. The second is a guest suite, beautifully presented with feature wall coverings and pretty soft furnishings. A large Velux window allows natural light to flood in, and with an en suite to service both rooms that includes a bath with a shower above, it’s an ideal space for older children and guests to enjoy their own peaceful space.

Outside

The front of the property features neat blue brick borders housing gravelled beds, and with the large, gravelled driveway, there is ample space for all the family to park. The garage is accessed from the front of the property as well as through a side door in the garden. There is also a side gate leading to the rear garden, providing good outdoor access from front to back.

Accessed from the orangery and sitting room, the delightful rear gardens are a haven of peace and tranquillity. Enjoying the very best southwest-facing aspect ensures there is always the perfect spot to entertain family and friends and dine al fresco on one of the split-level terrace areas. Tall lavender plants and mature acers border the feature oriental pond, enhancing the feeling of peace and relaxation. Mainly laid to lawn beyond the upper terrace, the garden enjoys mature borders, with a tall walled garden to the back and one side and a tall, dense, mature conifer hedge to the other, providing complete privacy in every part of the garden.

There is a lovely old outbuilding adorned with a beautiful mature rambling rose, evergreen jasmine, and wild geraniums. Inside is a useful storage shed and gardener's WC. As you wander towards the top part of the garden, past ferns, heathers, and rosemary, you come to a wonderful fig tree. Beyond this, an arched doorway leads through to the little secret garden patch behind, just large enough to grow a few of your own vegetables.
