Property description
THE VERY IMPRESSIVE SIZE of this IMPOSING, INDIVIDUAL, DOUBLE FRONTED DETACHED RESIDENCE is impossible to assess from the outside, as it has BEEN VERY TASTEFULLY EXTENDED to provide VALUABLE ADDITIONAL FAMILY SPACE at both ground and first floor levels and offers EXTENSIVE ACCOMMODATION with EXCELLENT VERSATILITY in the way in which some of the rooms can be used and are adaptable to individual requirements. The property includes a connecting "ANNEXE" STYLE ARRANGEMENT with separate access (if required) and this offers EXCELLENT POTENTIAL FOR A DEPENDANT RELATIVE to have a bed-sitting room at ground floor level with an adjacent shower room and access to the garden via a sliding patio door. Alternatively, it could be a SELF CONTAINED HOME OFFICE ARRANGEMENT and may appeal to a "specialist user", ie, chiropodist, etc (subject to the necessary permission and consent). The MAIN RESIDENCE has BEEN BUILT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DELIGHTFUL, SOUTHERLY FACING REAR GARDEN OUTLOOK with the rooms on this elevation benefiting from very good natural light and natural warmth. There are FIVE BEDROOMS (if required) and one of which is a SUPERB "STUDIO" STYLE THROUGH ROOM with dramatically high "beamed" ceiling and an adjacent SHOWER ROOM (providing a virtually en-suite facility) and approached via A SEPARATE SECOND STAIRCASE. This bedroom could be the master suite or guest suite or alternatively could be used as a FAMILY RELAXATION ROOM/GAMES ROOM OF VERY GOOD SIZE for table tennis and pool table, etc, and is AN OUTSTANDING FEATURE in this family home. The BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE GARDEN OF EXCELLENT SIZE further enhances the property and would be a GARDENING ENTHUSIAST'S DREAM, and includes a small COPSE OF MAJESTIC TREES which attract an interesting variety of birdlife and wildlife to the garden to observe and enjoy in this LOVELY SETTING.
