A substantial 1920’s family house in this highly prized town location
Description
A substantial detached family house, positioned towards the town end of the road, so ideally placed for all the varied amenities to hand.
The accommodation is set on two floors and has been updated over time, offering a home which has been well laid out for modern day family living, while at the same time retains a good sense of the original style from the early twentieth century, with leaded light windows, for example, where a program of sympathetic replacement has been started. In particular, the house benefits from a generous kitchen/dining room, opening through to a family room (originally two rooms), as well as to a substantial conservatory addition. This overlooks the rear garden and has been built with double glazing and fitted out with radiators, as well as a wood burning stove. The kitchen itself has modern painted units and is fitted with granite worktops, ceiling down lighters and timber flooring. The integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, while a Falcon Range cooker acts as a focal point.
In addition downstairs, there is also a formal sitting room which has a large period fireplace and enjoys a front to back double aspect, which includes access through to the conservatory, creating nicely flowing entertaining space, ideal for large gatherings.
Upstairs, there is a spacious principal bedroom suite, with a recessed dressing area for wardrobes and an ensuite shower room, with a double shower. In addition, there are four further bedrooms served by a family bathroom/separate w.c. Also, a further sixth bedroom has been fitted out with bespoke study furniture in oak and this room also has a fitted cinema projection/sound system (requiring a new drop down screen).
Outside, the driveway provides good parking and there is an integral single garage. A long laurel hedge screens the house from the road, with a wrought iron, gated access. To the rear, there is a delightful lawn garden, softened with planting and with mature boundaries of hedging and trees to the surrounds. Immediately outside the house, there is an area of terracing and also decking around the conservatory, which incorporates a hot tub. The garden has a further side terrace to the rear, a Wendy house and two discreet garden sheds.
