DESCRIPTION
A much-loved detached family home, built by the current owner and on the market for the first time in over 50 years.
On entering the spacious entrance hall, you are immediately drawn to the impressive central staircase, crafted from Horsham Oak. The re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room benefits from integrated appliances and a separate utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and further appliances. The dining room has a sunny aspect with views over the rear garden, whilst the triple aspect sitting room has an open fire and patio doors to rear garden. There is an office and a separate study on the ground floor along with a downstairs wc. An internal door from the entrance hall leads into the double garage.
On the first floor is a bright and spacious galleried landing with storage cupboard, airing cupboard and access to loft (not inspected). There is an impressive large principal bedroom suite with a generous ensuite bathroom (which would benefit from updating). Four further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.
OUTSIDE
Electric gates open onto a generous driveway leading to an integral double garage with electric doors. Additional parking is available for numerous vehicles to the front and side of the property. There is the addition of an old single detached garage and car port.
The mature, predominantly southfacing gardens wrap around two sides of the home and form a standout feature. There is a sunny patio and area of lawn overlooking an established orchard area with pear, cherry, plum and apple trees. Two greenhouses, raised vegetable beds, a fruit cage with blackcurrants and redcurrants, are the perfect addition for keen horticulturalists and gardeners.
To the rear, gated access leads to a wellmaintained swimming pool, accompanied by timberbuilt changing rooms - now offering scope for updating or replacement - and a plant room housing the filtration and heating system.
