The Property
This beautifully extended and much-improved family home enjoys easy access to a wide range of local amenities, including well-regarded primary and secondary schools. Set within a generous half-acre plot and forming the end wing of a small terrace, the house offers excellent privacy, enhanced by its elevated stance and mature yew hedging. The principal entrance lies to the rear and opens into a striking hallway with a tiled floor and an elegant staircase that gracefully sweeps to the upper floors. A stunning feature window behind the stairs bathes this central space in natural light. The accommodation is both extensive and flexible. The formal drawing room enjoys delightful views over the garden and features double-aspect sash windows with working shutters, period wood panelling, and a traditional open fireplace, creating a room of remarkable charm. A second, more relaxed reception room overlooks the front garden terrace and also benefits from a sash window and shutters, oak flooring, and a wood-burning stove set into a fireplace. At the heart of the home lies the show-stopping family kitchen. Extended into the original courtyard with a contemporary two-storey glass addition. This dramatic space perfectly balances old and new, with in-frame cabinetry, a sociable central island, quartz worktops, a range cooker, integrated appliances, and full-length glazing that fills the room with light. The kitchen includes both informal and formal dining areas, with doors opening to a secluded courtyard. A step-up leads to a charming conservatory with tiled floor, which benefits from planning permission (Ref: S.22/1607/HHOLD) to be replaced with a garden room. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a boot room with access to the rear of the house, utility and cloakroom. The elegant first floor landing leads to three generously proportioned bedrooms. The second bedroom is especially impressive, with tall ceilings, cornicing, and dual-aspect sash windows with shutters. The principal bedroom features French doors that open directly to the garden. All bedrooms on this level are served by a stylish family bathroom with a freestanding bath, large shower enclosure and vanity storage. A side hallway on the first floor provides access to a useful studio/workspace, complete with flagstone floor and access to the rear garden. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where three additional attic bedrooms and a second bathroom offer superb flexibility, ideal for older children or guests.
