Victorian family home retaining a host of original features set in beautiful landscaped gardens with a spacious, characterful outbuilding.
Dating back to about 1910, this beautiful Victorian property retains a host of original features including high ceilings, picture rails, original doors and period detailing. The house is arranged over three floors offering versatile space, ideal for growing families. In addition is The Coach House, an outbuilding with garaging and a studio room above offering potential for a multitude of uses.
The front door opens into a magnificent reception hall, with a five sided bay window setting the scene for this handsome property. The reception space is light and generous, with an easy flow between the main living spaces. The family room is to the front, with a period fireplace and open fire while to the rear, the formal dining room is flooded with natural light and enjoys a box bay window overlooking the garden. The adjoining sitting room with its parquet flooring and triple aspect is a fine, elegant space with French doors to the garden. This room, and the principal bedroom on the first floor was sympathetically added in the mid 1940s. The kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with an excellent range of units providing ample storage, complemented by granite worktops alongside appliances including a Rangemaster stove and a central island. A rear door opens into the garden and just off the kitchen is a large utility room with space for appliances.
On the first floor are five double bedrooms and a family bathroom including the double aspect principal bedroom suite with a dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. All of the bedrooms enjoy far reaching views and many have charming fireplaces, a nod to the house's history. On the top floor are two further bedrooms, both with built-in storage and are served by a family shower room.
The landscaped gardens of the property are a real feature of this lovely home, wrapping around the house with areas of lawn with beautiful, well stocked flower borders providing colour and scent. The gardens are well enclosed and offer a good deal of privacy. Just off the sitting room a large terrace gives an ideal spot for entertaining friends and family. A private gravelled driveway provides ample parking and leads to The Coach House incorporating a double garage, store room and a spacious studio room above.
