5 bedroom detached house for sale

DESCRIPTION22 North End Road has been transformed in the last decade or so, the original fairly modest bungalow becoming a substantial two storey family home with an annexe. It is tucked away up a long drive off a no through lane and enjoys a generous and very private garden, and although a few hints of its previous life remain the accommodation is overwhelmingly light and contemporary. Two side by side doors greet you and open into an impressive hall that has a central dog leg staircase with galleries overhead. Much of the ground floor has wooden flooring and LED downlighting, the kitchen newly refitted in white hi gloss soft close units and grey laminate worktops, both those components forming the island and breakfast bar. Integrated is a fridge and freezer and remaining a ?Britannia? cooking range comprising 2 ovens, an electric griddle/hotplate, and 5 gas burners. Above it hangs a ?Rangemaster? extractor hood. Adjacent the kitchen there is a further room, likely a breakfast area that equally could be the boot room as it harbours a sink and the integrated dishwasher and washing machine. The lovely ceiling lantern lends itself though to being a less functional space and more for enjoyment. Doors to the outside are found in all the reception rooms, the study and breakfast room serving a courtyard. The study is a good size, the dining room is adorned in mahogany wall panelling, and the sitting room features a handsome working fireplace surrounded by ornately carved marble, and accessed from both the sitting and dining rooms is a huge wrap around conservatory looking over the garden. Along the hall you will find a utility room and cloakroom, as well as two ensuite bedrooms, and at the far end the would-be annexe - three flexible rooms - currently an upstairs living area, downstairs kitchen with sink, cupboards, and its own front door, then a bedroom where there is a sunken bath, wc, separate shower, and even a sauna. The upper floor has micro LED lighting and within the landing is space for a desk or a chaise longue. Three additional ensuite bedrooms are on the first floor, each with dormer windows, the two at each end of excellent proportions. OUTSIDE A shared lane leads up to the property and the frontage is block paved providing parking for a few vehicles and extra provision for another two vehicles under the carport. Then at the back of the carport is an up and over door into a double garage, supplied with power and lighting. The walled front boundary has lighting set onto the piers.The garden is on a couple of levels, the first being a slightly raised terrace of decking and stone that feeds into the pool surround and timber pool house. The swimming pool is heated and measures approx. 23ft x 12 ft and we are informed it is some disrepair and would require attention in order for it to be used. The lawn rises onto another second tier and the whole is enclosed and well screened by conifers offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A neighbouring row of mature tree flanks one edge. SERVICES - Mains water, drainage and electricity. The property has oil central heating and electric air conditioning.
