Drew House is an attractive double-fronted house with ample off-street parking and a detached garage block. The house connects directly to the landscaped garden from the open plan kitchen/dining/garden room, a superb family space at the heart of the home. Robustly constructed some fifty years ago and skilfully extended to include an annexe, the house has been skilfully updated by the current owners and altogether offers a very appealing package.

Additional Information - Drew House features a superb, open plan kitchen/dining/garden room with underfloor heating, a large roof lantern and bifold doors that open south onto the garden terrace. The modern fitted kitchen includes an island unit with a boiling water tap, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and a Rangemaster, and the dining area offers ample space to accommodate a family-sized table. At the front of the house, the sitting room has a living flame gas fire and is illuminated by light through its square bay and two pairs of double doors, both glazed. The home office/study benefits from a large window facing the village street. Upstairs are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, served by a house bathroom, fully tiled with a four-piece suite and heated towel rail.

The ground floor annexe is light and airy with windows on three sides and its own independent entrance. French doors from the sitting room give access to the garden terrace and the double bedroom enjoys a south-facing outlook. There is a shower room of contemporary design, and the utility room has the potential to become a kitchen if the need arises.

Outside - The house is largely concealed from the village road behind a beautifully planted front garden with lawn, surrounding shrubs and a flowering cherry tree taking centre stage. The paved forecourt provides a parking space, and the drive continues past a five-bar gate following the western boundary fence with colourful climbers, to the detached double garage with up-and-over doors, power and light. A wrought-iron garden gate connects to the south-facing rear garden. Outside the garden room is a paved terrace with a water feature, espalier apple tree and raised beds featuring a variety of plants and ornamental trees including a Gleditsia ‘Green Glory. This sheltered corner makes an ideal spot for al fresco dining. The terrace continues to the rear where there is a lawn flanked by abundantly planted herbaceous borders, a greenhouse and a pergola at the far boundary. The pergola is adorned by a rose and hydrangea and has a raised seating area providing an idyllic pastoral view across green pastures to the woodland of Sutton Park. The property has sensor outdoor lighting to the front and rear, and two outside taps.
