A substantial wing of a handsome Edwardian home set within this prestigious private estate
Offered with no onward chain and in the same ownership for 60 years, Dormans House West is a substantial wing of an impressive Edwardian home, set in established gardens of about 0.5 acres and located within the highly regarded private estate, Dormans Park.
Built in 1901 with later additions by the current owner, the light and well-proportioned accommodation exceeds 3,300 sq ft and is arranged over three floors, combining character features with contemporary finishes to provides an elegant living space ideal for both entertaining and family living.
An impressive entrance hall leads on to the two principal reception rooms, both of excellent proportions. A drawing room features herringbone parquet flooring, an attractive open fireplace and a full height bay window overlooking the rear garden, and a dining room also has an open fireplace with fitted shelves to either side and access to the adjacent conservatory.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base cabinetry, integral appliances and an Aga oven.
An adjoining utility room provides further storage and connects to a separate cloakroom.
From the entrance hall, an imposing staircase with a galleried landing ascends to the first floor and three bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe and two with fitted wardrobes, together with a family bathroom with a separate shower.
Arranged over the second floor are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. A generous galleried landing is a versatile space and could easily be utilised as a further reception room, study or games/hobbies room.
The rear garden has a westerly aspect and provides a lovely backdrop, with a pillared verandah and flagstone terrace creating an ideal space for al fresco entertaining.
A set of steps lead to a substantial area of lawn enclosed by established and abundantly planted borders, interspersed by a variety of mature specimen trees.
Also within the garden is a pond and a wildlife garden, the latter located towards the rear boundary.
The property is approached via a shared driveway which provides ample parking and leads on to a double garage.
