5 bedroom detached house

Substantial detached modern house set within glorious and private grounds of around 0.96 acre, previously with planning permission for an additional dwelling

Description

20 Barnton Avenue is a sizeable detached house set in wonderfully private and mature grounds of around 0.96 acres. The house was constructed in the 1980s and was subsequently extended in 2001. The house was built in a traditional style offering well-proportioned accommodation with fine reception space set over two floors. The property benefits from aspects to the north, south, east and west making it exceptionally light and bright throughout the day.

A gated driveway at the north west of the plot provides access and leads to the house and integrated double garage, and provides ample parking for a number of cars. The front door opens to an entrance vestibule, and on into the broad and welcoming galleried reception hall. The principal reception rooms radiate from the hall, and include the elegant drawing and dining rooms, as well as a wonderful conservatory. All three of these rooms have a wonderful outlook over the southern part of the garden. Also accessed from the hall is a guest suite, with a generous double bedroom and en suite bathroom. The kitchen is accessed from the dining room and is fitted with a range of Poggenpohl units and surfaces, and this leads through to the utility room and on to the rear part of the house where there is a further double bedroom with en suite bathroom and an additional conservatory.

Two sets of stairs, and a lift, rise to the upper floor. The principal bedroom is exceptionally generous in proportion and benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom, while from the gallery overlooking the reception hall there are two further double bedrooms each with walk-in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms.

The property benefits from a number of storage cupboards as well as a large storage room, which has further potential for a wide range of uses.

The grounds are spectacular. Extending to around 0.964 acres, there are extensive lawns to the south of the house, surrounded by mature borders with a wide variety of colourful plants and shrubs, as well as a range of delightful mature trees interspersed throughout the grounds. There is a charming side garden with a selection of colourful plants, creating a sheltered and secluded space which benefits from sunshine throughout the day.

Planning Permission
The property previously benefited from planning permission to build an additional dwelling in the grounds.
