About this property

  • This is a special family home, enjoying a tucked away location at the end of Seven Devil's Lane. With rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, the well-presented accommodation extends over two floors with a loft space which could have further potential (subject to necessary planning consents). The house benefits from solid wood flooring to the ground floor, sensor activated lighting in all bathrooms and the gas fired central heating system was upgraded in 2021 with the installation of a new boiler. The wide circular drive allows plenty of parking space and leads via steps beside the triple garage to the front door.

    The reception hall, with stairs to the first floor, has a cloaks cupboard and access to all of the principal rooms. To the right is the impressive open plan kitchen/sitting/dining room which links with the rear terrace and gardens. Fitted with a bank of units along one wall, there is also a long central island incorporating a breakfast bar with a warming draw and hob with extractor fan. In addition there is an oven, steam oven, second warming drawer, a sink and Quooker tap, and a range of fitted Miele appliances including a fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The sitting area incorporates a Cove woodburner and the dining area enjoys wonderful views of the garden. Beside the kitchen is the sitting room with bifold doors to the garden and a snug/study. To the left is another study area which leads to a playroom/gym which could be used (together with the nearby utility room and cloaks) as a ground floor annexe, and connects with a further area of garden where there is access to the garage. A utility room (upgraded in 2021) incorporates a fridge/freezer and access to the garden. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

    There are deep windows beside the stairs providing light to the hall and landing which in turn has an airing cupboard and loft access. All five bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, and the main and principal guest bedrooms overlook the gardens and have en suite shower facilities. The first floor is served by a family bathroom which is fitted with a bath and walk-in tiled shower.

    The well stocked gardens incorporate a variety of perennials, shrubs, rose arches and an hydrangea garden, and extensive outdoor lighting. There are obelisks along the length of the garden planted with red roses and purple clematis. Pleached Red Robins and Silver Birches provide further interest. The bespoke garden room has louvred shutters, heaters, power and lighting with a barbecue area and raised herb garden beside.

This is a really special package, so close to the open countryside and I LOVE the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room
