Family house in desirable location with large wrap around gardens.
Walnut Tree House is named after the large, mature tree in the front garden. This delightful family home is set back from the road within its own mature grounds. Of red brick elevations beneath a slate roof, the property has light and spacious accommodation, and good ceiling heights throughout. Built in the late 1980s, Palace Gardens was created as a cul-de-sac of secluded properties. The house offers versatile accommodation, with useful garaging and larger than expected south and west facing gardens.
The welcoming reception hall, with herringbone pattern parquet flooring and understairs coat cupboard, lead via solid oak double doors to the spacious triple aspect sitting room with bay window to the front, gas fire and sliding doors out to a rear patio. Two further sets of oak double doors lead from the sitting room and the hallway into the dining room (or playroom) which in turn connects via glazed double doors to the spacious conservatory and dining area with remote controlled electric blinds and tiled flooring.
The kitchen/breakfast room is also to the rear and fitted with a range of ivory floor and wall units, cupboards and drawers. Granite worktops incorporate a breakfast bar and a double butler sink. Appliances include a dishwasher, Falcon range cooker with gas hob, fridge and freezer. Beyond is the utility room with further storage, fridge/freezer, plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, gas fired boiler and a half glazed door to the garden.
A fully fitted study including shelving, file storage and a wide desk area overlooks the front garden, and the adjacent cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, the principal bedroom having triple double wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with roll-topped bath. Three of the remaining bedrooms are doubles and there is a large single bedroom. Four of the bedrooms have long distant views all the way to The Heath. The family bathroom, a large double shower room and an airing cupboard complete the first floor accommodation. The full layout of the internal accommodation can be seen on the floorplan.
There is an extensive loft which could be converted (subject to the necessary consents) to create a further floor of accommodation.
The gardens extend to the side and rear of the house with lawns, mature hedging and a variety of trees and shrubs. There is a terrace with circular brick-edged area beside the conservatory, further patio areas and a fence with double gates dividing the front from the rear garden when required. A block paved shared approach leads to the drive with parking for several vehicles, a double garage with electric up and over door with its side door into the garden.
