The reception rooms:

Sunshine streams through this gracious reception, such an elegant space ideal for entertaining. Proportions are refined, the ceilings a breath-taking 3m high with elegant coving and central roses, two handsome fireplaces add gravitas as well as warmth and discreet double doors, in the middle of the room, keep your options open.

The kitchen diner and garden:

The lower ground floor has been completely transformed to provide an open plan living kitchen diner. Bright and cheerful, at the heart of this family space where skilled design balances every day needs and sophisticated celebrations. Inviting company, a breakfast bar keeps the hot cooking areas away from any through movement and it is the perfect spot for informal coffee or for children to finish homework as you cook. A timeless classic designed for catering for large numbers, the Aga, stone floors, butler sink and bespoke cabinetry completely suit the era of this stylish property. A glass veranda connects the living space to the garden with an outside kitchen - where guests can admire the garden all year round it really brings outside in.

As diverse as it is delightful, outside a talented eye has created a secure oasis, planted for all year interest and ease of maintenance. Private behind established hedges it is easy to forget that you are just in your back garden, it’s absolutely fab-u-lous!

Spread your wings on this substantial first floor with refined proportions, high ceilings and big windows to ensure it is always welcoming, and all of the bedrooms are well spaced out from each other. There are three doubles, one with ensuite and a bathroom.

Subtle attention to detail continues in a luxury bathroom which has natural light, with a separate bath and shower, it’s a boutique hotel style bathroom- what bliss!

Spanning a magnificent 26’6 x 17’3 from front to back this fabulous space comprises two bedrooms (including a climbing wall and ladder!) and a bathroom it has a world of possibilities, teenage bedrooms, art studio, music room and office, although it could be possible to create a stunning principal suite with a dressing room and shower room, STC.

Owners view:

We have loved this beautiful house which has been really easy to live in as all the rooms are light with an easy flow between them – the kitchen opening to the garden is fantastic for entertaining friends and their children and the reception rooms provide great flexibility for more grown up gatherings as well (when you can keep a discreet eye on the kids in the family room too). The house has adapted to our changing needs and the generous proportions on all floors gave us space to spread out from each other. This is a very friendly area with brilliant local schools and it is so convenient to get to both the train station and airport.
