There is a beautiful KITCHEN fitted by Hamilton Stone Design equipped with appliances and Caesar Stone worktops, a separate UTILITY ROOM with back door and a CLOAKROOM. The GROUND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION, equipped with underfloor heating on a gas-fired wet system, flows very well and can easily be separated or opened-up to create flow for entertaining or spilling out onto the SOUTH-FACING REAR TERRACE. To the FIRST FLOOR is a GRAND MASTER SUITE with DRESSING ROOM and EN-SUITE BATHROOM, an equally sized GUEST BEDROOM SUITE (with both suites having a door out onto a ROOF TERRACE), TWO FURTHER BEDROOMS and a FAMILY BATHROOM.OUTSIDE: The property is approached over a PRIVATE DRIVEWAY with plenty of parking for several vehicles leading up to the INTEGRAL GARAGE (partially converted into a gym) with plenty of room to build an additional garage if required (STPP).The REAR GARDEN measures approximately 200' x 60' which has been beautifully laid out, just as the house, with several well-maintained and individual areas to provide a higher degree of privacy. Adjoining the rear of the house is a FULL WIDTH SOUTH-FACING TERRACE which leads onto the LAWNS with planted beds, a productive VEGETABLE GARDEN and numerous shrubs. The plot is fully enclosed by fencing and provides almost complete privacy from neighbouring properties whilst extending to 0.4 ACRES in all.Services: Mains water, electricity, drainage and gas.
