A contemporary city home in about 1.56 acres.
Seven Ash Green is an attractive leafy lane located a short distance to the north of the city centre.
The house has a stylish design which includes lower ground accommodation with its own external access providing the potential for an annexe. The ground floor is designed to integrate the outdoor terraces and gardens. The first floor is currently a bedroom suite with a bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and twin balconies overlooking the grounds.
The hall is a beautiful feature with full-height glazing to the front, and stairs to both the upper and lower levels. The lower ground floor provides three bedrooms, including a guest bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe. In addition, there is a fitted utility room and bathroom. This floor has an independent external access ideal for a self-contained annexe if required, subject to planning.
The first floor is designed to overlook the gardens and utilise the wrap-around terraces as entertaining areas. Taking centre stage is the principal reception room featuring two-storey-high ceiling and triple-aspect, full-height glazing providing a light-filled room, a contemporary fireplace and a dining area.
At the rear of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room extending to over 30 ft. Fitted with modern units in contrasting colours topped with white stone. Appliances include a range style cooker, cooker hood, integrated dishwasher, microwave and fridge/freezer. The breakfast room has a sliding glass wall opening onto a deck and providing lovely views over the gardens. At the front lies a study, with elevated views over the drive, and entrance with adjacent cloakroom.
The first floor is the principal bedroom suite. The bedroom has two glass-retained balconies framing lovely views over the gardens with bespoke 10 ft-high sliding doors. The room features a split-level vaulted ceiling. A landing separates a highly appointed bath/shower room with walk-in wardrobe.
Outside
The house is discreetly located off a private drive, with an electric gated parking area in front of the house. Within the drive is a detached double garage and a floating' steel-framed car shelter.
Wrapping around the south and western edges of the house are al fresco dining areas and an elevated retained deck overlooking the gardens. Behind the house, a garden bank has been created as a fragrance garden with all-year colour, textures and interest. Within the grounds is a sunken garden containing a former waterfall feature. The remainder of the garden is lawned with a scattering of specimen trees. The far southern boundary is a fenced leisure field and all along the western boundary lies the Chelmer Valley Nature Reserve.
