FINE GARDEN CITY 'ARTS & CRAFTS HOME
MANY ATTRACTIVE ORIGINAL FEATURES
PERIOD FIREPLACES INCLUDING INGLENOOK

The Property - This exceptional example of the Garden City 'Arts & Crafts' design has lost none of its character or charm, still displaying many of the elements of the style such as the ledged internal doors with their finely wrought latches and the original fireplaces, including that in the inglenook style in the sitting room. The house has nonetheless been well updated and improved to provide an outstanding family home.

A superb garden room has been added to complement the original sitting room, dining room and study. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room, laundry, shower room and spacious staircase hall complete the ground floor. On the first floor, the master bedroom boasts an en suite wet room with shower, while the family bathroom serves the other four bedrooms. The second floor provides a versatile loft room, huge attic and eaves storage.

The house benefits from double-glazed windows and doors, air conditioning and central heating provided by an air source heat pump. Photovoltaic solar panels on the garage and the associated battery packs help to reduce the running costs.

The Outside - The house stands in a fine plot extending to 0.35 acre and measuring approximately 144' by 104' (43.9m x 31.7m) overall. Screened from the road by a hedge, there is a block paved forecourt to the front providing generous off-street parking and an EV charging point. A paved courtyard with water feature completes the front garden.

The block paving continues via a pair of remotely controlled gates, providing additional parking and leading to the detached double garage with twin remotely controlled up-and-over doors and a useful loft.

The south facing main gardens, with a depth of some 79' (24m) from the rear of the house, are beautifully landscaped with lawns, rockeries, well stocked herbaceous beds and borders, pergola with climbers, paved patio, large ornamental pond with fountain and waterfall, and a wealth of ornamental shrubs, trees and conifers, including silver birches, willow, ash, pines and blue cedar.

Circular timber summer house and timber garden shed.
