Elegant and spacious family home in a quiet, no through residential road.
Description
An elegant family home ideally situated in this quiet no through road and conveniently located less than a mile and a half of the town and mainline station, with trains to London. The property extends to approximately 4363 sq ft with accommodation arranged over three floors. The house is nestled within beautiful grounds with a carriage driveway to the front and a private enclosed garden to the rear.
On the ground floor the layout is well suited to the demands of family life and entertaining with a choice of formal and informal reception rooms. A generously sized reception hall leads through to the sitting room and formal dining room. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, with a feature marble fireplace and French doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with an excellent range of Shaker style units complemented by wood worktops and integrated appliances. Porcelain tiling extends though to the adjacent study. A real highlight of this impressive home is the family room to the rear offering a superb open-plan family space and opening into both the conservatories.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is of wonderful proportions, enjoying a range of built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath. There are four further double bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes and all served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
On the second floor a part-galleried landing lends itself to a sitting room area. There is a further double bedroom, with commanding views over the gardens, alongside a generous en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate sauna.
The frontage is generous with an area of lawn and a sweeping carriage driveway providing ample parking and leads to the double garage. To the rear the garden is well enclosed with mature hedging, trees and fencing providing a good deal of privacy. The garden is predominately laid to lawn and a terrace area affords a lovely spot for entertaining friends and family. At the far end of the garden a timber summerhouse could have a multitude of uses but would be ideal as an office for home working.
