6 bedroom detached house for sale

An extensively modernised detached family home with ample garaging and attractive gardens.

Description

Geralds Close is a highly individual property in a desirable position near the city centre and surrounded by a variety of schools. The house has been significantly extended and modernised in recent years, following a programme of renovations which has included major works such as a full new heating system (in which the annexe has its own independent system), full rewiring and insulated to modern standards, extensions to create the kitchen and garages and sitting room, with a full cosmetic redecoration. The house is fantastically well appointed with all the desirable modern conveniences, including underfloor heating, a cinema room, bar and an internal and external sound system. Externally there is a choice of garaging and a large and well-planned garden.

The house is one of the largest on the road at more than 5300 sq ft, with a layout that lends itself well to family life and entertaining. The main part of the house is amazingly spacious and arranged around a large central hallway, with a variety of reception rooms perfect for busy family life. As well as a study, open plan kitchen/dining room and sitting room, there’s also a home office, cinema room and bar. There are three large en suite double bedrooms on the first floor, including a principal suite with dressing room, and a further bedroom and shower room on the top floor.

To the rear there is a wing, which is integrated into the main house but offers a good amount of privacy, offering excellent annexe potential subject to obtaining the necessary consents. On the ground floor there is a kitchen/utility room and studio space, with two bedrooms and a shower room upstairs making it ideal for multigenerational living or visiting guests

The house is situated at the end of the no-through road, in a very private position. Surrounded by leafy scenery, the south facing property is quiet and secluded, enveloped by attractive gardens which are perfect for entertaining. Electronic gates open to a large gravel driveway, a triple-bay attached garage and a further detached garage/workshop which has a water, electric and waste supply. There is ample parking to the front of the house and along the side. The lawned front garden is bordered by pretty flowerbeds stocked with a colourful variety of mature shrubs, with hedging, trees and high wooden panel fencing making the plot feel private. To the rear there is a further parcel of lawn, a large terrace and a pergola with space and power for a hot tub.
