Description

Arbor Grange is an impressive, substantial detached Edwardian residence which sits in a private location close to the Gog Magogs Golf Club on the outskirts of the village. Of brick elevations with attractive contrasting brickwork, all beneath a slate roof, the property was the subject of an upgrade and extension project by previous owners and now provides a spacious and versatile family home with well-proportioned rooms over three floors.

There is a substantial detached timber cart lodge beside the drive which incorporates a ground floor studio/playroom and cloaks with a suite of offices above, which provides an excellent opportunity to those wishing to work from home or the potential for annexe accommodation (with the addition of shower or bathroom subject to the necessary consents). There are a variety of period features throughout including cornicing, fireplaces, picture rails, bay windows.

The study/family room overlooks the front gardens and also incorporates a fireplace and fitted cupboards and shelving. The extended drawing room is a super light and spacious room which naturally divides into two sitting areas, the first with a fireplace with woodburner and bay window to the front and beyond the 'garden room' end with French doors directly onto the side terrace. The double aspect dining room can be approached from here or the hall which also has a fireplace (unused). At the far end of the hall is the vaulted kitchen/breakfast room, the hub of the house incorporating a sitting room at one end with a fireplace with woodburning stove set on a tiled hearth recess to side with display shelving, and further storage cupboards.

A door from the kitchen leads to the side hall and utility room with large butler sink on a brick plinth, plumbing for washing machine, space for tumble dryer, floor and wall mounted storage units and a gas fired boiler. In addition there is a CELLAR approached from the hall with light and power, currently used for wine and general storage.

On the first floor, the landing leads to the principal suite with cast iron firegrate with tiled surround and wooden mantle and its L shaped en suite dressing room with a generous range of fitted wardrobes, and beyond is the en suite shower room having a large tiled corner shower cubicle with wall mounted shower unit, twin wash hand basins with mixer taps, bidet, and towel rail. There are two further bedrooms on this floor and a family bathroom with a white suite of bath with shower attachment and mixer taps, WC, bidet, and a corner shower cubicle. On the second floor, the landing with airing cupboard leads to three further bedrooms, two with fireplaces and one of which is used as a study, together with a shower room with tiled shower cubicle.

To the left is a garden area with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. The mature gardens to the front, side and rear incorporate a front lawn bordered by a variety of shrubs and mature trees. In addition, there is a pergola and path to the side terrace, lawned areas and a small orchard.
