4 bedroom detached house

Situated within level walking distance of amenities and just a short stroll from Stoke's Bay itself, a stunning residence which has been the subject of extensive works over the last five years- The result- a truly impressive home offering generously proportioned rooms with gloriously high ceilings; light and airy with many retained character features from the 1930's.

The property is approached via a brick paviour driveway leading to the garage and in turn to a stunning oversized front door. The entrance vestibule has a beautifully fitted cloakroom with a further door leading into the entrance hall. There are two large reception rooms; the sitting room centres on a log burning stove, whilst the dining room has bifold doors opening onto the incredible rear garden. There are many delightful selling features to this property, one of which is the 'live in' kitchen/breakfast/family room which has plenty of space for entertaining and benefits from an extensive range of cupboards and appliances; with wooden and Minerva worktops, copper cupboard handles, sink, tap and a copper splashback behind the range cooker. Large picture windows allow glorious views over the garden. There is also an original 30’s dresser, large storage cupboard and walk in larder. A door leads into the utility room which leads in turn to the garden. The original staircase rises to the first floor where there is a generous landing and an original stained glass window. There are four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles. Bedrooms 1 & 2 are dual aspect and benefit from wardrobe cupboards. In addition, there is a stunning en-suite bathroom and a generous family shower room. The gardens are a particular selling feature of the property; to the front are wild flower and vegetable raised beds with an area laid to lawn. Gated access leads to the rear garden which is absolutely glorious; a feast for the eyes with an array of colours and textures throughout. There are several private seating areas nestled amongst the mature, well loved and tended beds encircling an area of lawn. The gardens were open for the Alverstoke Garden Walkabout in 2023 and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. There is also a large summer house at the rear.
