Property description
A modern four/five bedroom detached property, on a landscaped plot of approximately 0.42 acres with panoramic views of Sharpenhoe Clappers and the surrounding countryside.
The property has been extended over the last three years and refitted in a contemporary style for modern day family life. Ground floor accommodation includes an entrance hall, a dual aspect sitting room, a study with French doors to the rear garden and a part vaulted ceiling with Velux skylight and a snug which is adjacent to a shower room and could be used as a ground floor bedroom if required. There is also an open plan kitchen/dining/family room with an adjoining utility room. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, two en suites and a family bathroom. The principal and guest bedrooms both have fitted wardrobes and overlook the rear garden. Twin timber gates lead into a driveway providing parking for up to six cars, and access to the detached timber framed carport which has power connected and a mezzanine storage area. The front garden is screened by close boarded fencing with mature hedges inside, and there is a gated side access to the rear garden.
Reception Hall and Sitting Room
The hall has exposed oak effect Herringbone pattern flooring which continues into the reception rooms, and a custom built oak staircase with glazed balustrades to the first floor. There is a built-in cloaks/communications cupboard. The dual aspect mullioned feature fireplace has an inset log burning stove and is shared with the dual aspect sitting room which has part glazed French doors to the rear terrace.
Kitchen/Dining/Family Room
A particular feature of the property is the kitchen/dining/family room which has natural light from a lantern skylight and bi-fold doors to the rear. The kitchen has a range of Shaker style cabinets including a pull out larder and a central island with a breakfast bar and an inset sink with a Quooker boiler water tap. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and there is space for a range cooker. The exposed porcelain tiled floor with underfloor heating continues into the utility room.
Rear Garden
The plot extending to approximately 0.42 acres and the rear garden is another major feature. An extensive Indian sandstone paved terrace spans the rear of the house for al fresco entertaining. The principally lawned garden has a variety of mature trees interspersed and established borders. Behind the carport there is a custom built log cabin currently used as a gym, and the garden also contains the external oil fired boiler and oil storage tank, and has security cameras and lighting.
